Data. Evidence. Thank you Gina McCarthy. Gina McCarthy has been my hero for many years. I even gave her my first ReSister bracelet! She hasn’t slowed!. I needed this push from her today. As she says “pull up your big girl pants and get back to work!”https://apple.news/A4wnIVSnBRb25SfdRQ2BZwA

Very cool to see how the California power grid dealt with the solar eclipse today! Covered the gap in solar power with batteries, imports, and natural gas.

It turns out that it only costs $39 million a month to eviscerate federal government capabilities and bilk the American public 😤🤬
Funding Floodgates The Trump administration began funding DOGE soon after it took office. It started by tapping $750,000 from a White House fund for information technology initiatives in late January. Since then, the funding has ballooned; the most recent apportionment came on Feb. 8 and included a $14 million chunk described as part of a “software modernization initiative.” In all, ProPublica found, more than $39 million has been earmarked to DOGE in the Trump administration’s first month. For perspective, in recent years Congress had allocated around $50 million a year for the IT modernization initiative that DOGE supplanted, budget records show.

I was so shocked by this White House post that I asked Google Gemini AI whether it was real or fake. Gemini's 1st take -a resounding assertion the tweet was a spoof- is in the post below.

Gemini's reasoning is similar to what any normal human being would think after seeing such a sophomoric post.

A reminder.

Presidents often get too much credit - and blame - for what happens in the economy.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.

What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

This is what COURAGE looks like. Thanks to every person who marched. Thanks to all who cheered and waved. Thanks to all in cars who endured traffic jams but continued to honk and wave. And to the MAGA guy who yelled from his truck that we are not patriots, check yourself. The Resistance is coming!

Utah, Miami, Minnesota, Michigan...and that doesn't even include the really big ones in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington.

Not yet a hundred days, and it'll get plenty worse before the policy pendulum will swing back, but the political pendulum is swinging back hard already.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.
