"Having loyalist lawyers in place will make it much harder for military officers to resist Trump’s orders."
New, from me: Unpacking the Friday night news:
*The military purges have begun - why do they also include lawyers?
*A Judge is allowing the dismantling of USAID to proceed. This reflects a pattern where Judges are ignoring the broader democratic risks.

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

To the government of Denmark: the best thing you can do re: Greenland threats, is to not express fear but anger instead. “Keep threatening and we will deny you access to Greenland.” Trump, like Putin, understands threats and will back down.

Under the tax plan proposed in Project 2025, it's estimated that a family of 4 making $100,000/year would get a $2,600 tax hike. But a family of 4 making $5 million/year would get a $325,000 tax cut.
It's a trickle-down nightmare.

Chipotle raised prices six times since 2021 and kept them high — even as costs have flattened.
The result?
Profits jumped 110%. It authorized $400M in stock buybacks. Its CEO was paid $22.4M in 2023...1,354 times the median Chipotle employee.
What's really driving inflation?
