Tourism to the US is down $30 billion. That's not gonna help the job numbers, or the GDP, or Trump's approval rating domestically or internationally.
As predictable a result as the sun shining. FWIW, I will never let MAGA (or the people who didn't vote) forget this.

Trump's Treasury Department is bragging that because of Trump's economic policies, t-bills are having their best year since 2020. Could someone inform these clowns that people primarily invest in t-bills when economic times are dire. For evidence, note that 2020 was the COVID year.

As expected, it's not bad enough that Trump's "peace plan" for Ukraine has a large serving of grift. War profiteering was a serious felony at one point in our history but Trump and the GOP regularly make criming a policy choice.

One thing that can ALWAYS be counted on is MAGA not knowing what they are talking about before commenting. For example, they always say things were worse under Biden, when almost universally they were better, and when it wasn't it was only temporary. With Trump? Not so much.

This is why climate policy is non-negotiable, *especially* when it comes to corporate interests. Because they don't care about what happens to the victims. They only care about cost containment for the continued production of profits.

Why don't we buy into the notion that establishment Democrats know what they are doing? Because they absolutely don't and the scoreboard don't lie. It's time we let the Mamdanis and AOCs take it from here.

This is the best explanation of crypto currency I've seen. It also explains why criminals are the only ones who really use it.

Trump's pick to head the Bureau of Land Management hates the idea of publicly owned lands (like national parks). He has made a career of dismissing the benefits. For those playing at home, the US gov't spends $3 billion maintaining nat'l parks, which return $53 billion in revenue. Not a misprint.

Share this video, get out the vote in Tennessee! Let's get someone in Congress who represents the actual citizens of the district they vote in instead of some wealthy donor who lives in another state.

This is a daily occurrence. It should be becoming obvious to MAGA that they are supporting the wrong people.

The US Treasury posted a $284.4 billion deficit in October, the worst opening month to any fiscal year in history.
This exceeds the previous record of $284.1 billion in October 2020, during the historic pandemic response.
That's bad, right?

The Great Depression was not an overnight calamity. It was a inexorable process over 3 years, and was made worse by every dumb thing that the people in power did to "fix" it. Kinda like what we're experiencing now. By the way, Herbert Hoover also blamed immigrants. You can look it up (link in bio).

MBS promised that Saudi Arabia would invest $1 trillion in the US. The entire Saudi fund doesn't have $1 trillion. The GDP of Saudi Arabia is $1.24 trillion. Imagine if Trump promised to invest $20 trillion in another country.
That's how ridiculous this promise is.

Bernie Sanders is in the Epstein files?! Not in the way you think.
Two takeaways:
1) Sanders lives rent free in billionaire (and their flunkie's) heads bc they email A LOT about his proposed legislation, and
2) he definitely reads all the legislation that he's voting on.

We could have had a rail system like they have in Europe and Japan. But Henry Ford had a more selfish notion in mind. And we've been paying for it ever since. And if you want receipts, I recommend the book Internal Combustion by Edwin Black.

You don't have to wait until November '26 to make significant changes to the House. There are enough special elections over the next few months to change the math to 218-216. If any more resign like MTG did, then it can be flipped before November. So if there's an election in your district, vote!
