Moody’s chief economist estimates that 22 states are already in or at high risk of a recession, and only 16 are expanding. Notably, California and New York are “treading water”.
This is an amazing amount of resources and energy -- not to mention human suffering -- to avoid admitting a mistake.

JUST IN: Feds say they are incapable of moving Kilmar Abrego Garcia from PA to TN for court session Friday in his criminal case. A week lead time isn't enough, prosecutors say, plus there's a hearing on one of his civil suits Friday in Maryland. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Guy closes a door. Ernst says, farmers really need some doors to open up, and no one can do it better than the guy who closed the door.
Joni Ernst: "Unfortunately, our farmers do need that assistance. They don't like it. They consider it welfare. They want trade, not aid. So we really need to see some of these new markets opening up around the globe ... but if there's anybody that can make a deal, it's President Trump."
Agreed. But when ppl are saying "how can anyone support this guy?" they are reacting to the lack of outrage, not the overall popularity
Let me get this straight: Tiktok was threatened because its owners allegedly had close ties to the autocrat in Beijing. Now they'll be controlled by a guy with close ties to the autocrat in the U.S.
Cool.

When the right blames the left for incendiary speech, they use incendiary speech. All the left has to do is to play the tape.
Lovely to be a guest on a podcast I've long listened to. Thanks Jeffrey Church!

The catch-22 for the opposition is that protests against this will provide the pretext for an even more violent military response

In supercharging diplomacy in order to win a Nobel, tRump just showed how very bad he is at it.
I'm amazed at how many posts responding to some outrage by tRump frame it as an attack on often unnamed fellow dems not doing enough to criticize tRump.
Imagine what a super billionaire who didn't have the sensibility of a 12-year old boy playing with toys could do for the good of humanity.

Comer on Trump sending troops to DC: "I think this is an experiment that's probably needed in a lot of the Democrat-run cities in America."
This is a goose-step toward total military takeover of major areas of the country. The stage is being set to cancel the 2028 presidential election.

The US President is explicitly threatening to deploy military troops to seize control of several other, named US cities.
How do we/they know they are "undocumented"? The masked thugs who are kidnapping people have neither the expertise or authority to determine this as far as we know.

Great. My culture is pre-Colombian Maya. Can I join so you can help me defend it? Cool.
Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

So... Trump says he's cutting drug prices by 1500% while adding tariffs of 250% on them if made outside the country. Someone help me figure out the math here.
I just came across another writer referring to tRump as a "would-be authoritarian". There is no would-be about it.
He's clearly an authoritarian. He's just terrible at it.
