This is just absolutely perfect. Kennedy destroys Lutnick and vividly illustrates the absurdity of the Trump trade policy. bsky.app/profile/atru...
KENNEDY: If Vietnam came to you and said, 'You win. We're gonna remove all tariffs and all trade barriers. Would the US please do the same?" Would you accept that deal?

LUTNICK: Absolutely not. That would be the silliest thing we could do

KENNEDY: What's the purpose of reciprocity then?

Sales for ticket packages are down about $1.6 million year over year, a window into the arts center’s challenges following President Donald Trump’s takeover.

This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face.

Totally dystopian.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

This is indeed incredible. “Conservative judge” doesn’t quite cut it as a description of Wilkinson. He is one of the most deferential-to-government-power judges in the country. When he writes like Justice Sotomayor it’s signs-and-wonders level.
INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear."

There’s growing evidence that animals have a sense of humour.

Should this change how we see them?

Wow… President Zelenskyy right now is thanking every world leader on Twitter who is showing their support for Ukraine after Russia’s brutal missile attack on civilians in Sumy.

He is doing this because Trump and JD Vance refuse to condemn or even comment on Russia’s war crimes.

Republicans: “We’re the party of the economy.”
Also Republicans: every major market crash since the Great Depression

What does every Wall Street crash have in common? Republicans
The lie that won’t die is that Republicans are better for the economy than Democrats. By every measure possible, that is just not correct. Republicans break shit, Democrats fix it, and voters ...
