Who knew the muzzling of free speech in America would be accomplished by the corrupt union of right wing media ownership and right wing control of the government?
Actually, quite a few people, but too many failed to heed their warnings, so here we are.

Anecdotally, from people I know, it has seemed that finding a job after losing one has gotten hard. The hard data now back that up.

Scott Spivey’s killing looked to police like a case of self-defense. Then his sister dug up evidence of a misconduct by the deputy chief in a clumsy conspiracy bound by friendship and favors.

Funny how the guy steering the economy towards recession (Trump) is saying that if the Fed Chair (Powell) doesn’t lower interest rates, it will push the economy into recession. 🙄

Yesterday Trump paused some Trump-imposed tariffs, & we saw Trump supporters react to the big up day in stocks by crowing about Trump’s “brilliant strategy.”
Today the market began to digest forecasts of reduced corporate sales/earnings due to Trump tariffs, & stocks dropped.

Trump owns Truth Social. Trump “truthed” before announcing the 90 day pause in some tariffs that “now is a great time to buy.” DJT (Truth Social) was up 21.67% today, with majority owner Trump getting a $1B gain in 1 day.
Trump controls the agencies that would enforce the laws governing this.

As Americans brace for massive losses in their retirement savings tomorrow, most will take little comfort in Trump’s claims that his massive & sudden tariffs are a “beautiful thing.”
Some will though, because they’ll believe him, right up until they join the rolls of the unemployed.

The world order Trump is dismantling …
The U.S. economy outperformed or was more stable than its global peers since 1949, in terms of wealth, innovation, & global influence. While countries like China have seen faster recent growth, the U.S. lead in per capita wealth and technological leadership.

My view will be unpopular with many Democrats, but I think Schumer did the right thing not shutting down the government. I’ll link a gift article in my comments with his recent NYT interview, where you can scroll to the end and hear his reasoning in his words.
In a shutdown, Trump’s cuts are legal!
