#Bezo's *income* over a weekend just about covers the annual loss at the #WaPo. The cost of his yacht covers five years' losses. (And that doesn't count the smaller yacht that follows the $500 million yacht). He needs to sell to someone who understands what #journalism is & why it matters so much.
Not to mention no reporter appears to have called him on this repeated absurdity; no WH staff member (including 'economists') has gotten him to stop, meaning 1) none of them can do middle school math either, or 2) none of them have the guts to tell the #emperor that his math and clothes are fake.
BREAKING: #Trump promises many drugs will soon not only cost $00.00, but come with cash rebates of up to 1400% of the current price!!
Talk about deals!
The sicker you are, the more drugs you take, the richer you get!
#TrumpMath is the only true Math.
Legacy math is just fake math!
#Trump promises to lower drug prices by as much as 1400% (up from 1300% yesterday).
So just wondering, if the current price of a drug is $100, and #TRUMP lowers it by 1400%, does that mean the new price of $0.00 includes a bonus $1300 gift card?
Math realists need to know...
There's already a book!!
Our orange #king is spewing out quite a flood of distracting "truths" this evening, so he's up to or expecting something he's hoping to divert us from.
That's Ron *Vara.* Ron Vera is no smarter than a tariffed box of bricks.
It's not a trade war, it's TEGWAR - The Exciting Game Without Any Rules.
Wondering if the rules for a #Trump trade war are the same as for TEGWAR (The Exciting Game Without Any Rules). So far, the answer seems to be a strong yes.

They ain't got to show you no stinkin' practices!
Flann O'Brien would make short work of Trump.
Things I never would have believed I would someday believe: I would happily trade Trump if we could only have Richard Nixon to kick around some more.
This is what passes for efficiency can competence in the #MAGA World. Just as tethered to reality as their alternative facts and history...
For mobsters #Trump, #Musk, & #MAGA, DEI is the center of their strategy. They've just redefined it.
It's all about using Destruction, Extortion, & Intimidation to multiply and leverage their power over every possible source of restraint or resistance, large or small, in or out of government.
Sooner or later, #Musk, #DOGE, and #Trump will discover, to their surprise, that ignorance, incompetence, arrogance, and cruelty will only get you so far.
#DOGE is dismantling the airplane -- not building it -- while they're still learning how to fly it. What are the odds that gravity will sooner or later impede their work?
If only DOGE had access to some engineering intelligence and experience...
So is Elon #Musk the worst president ever?
It's a trick to get as many non-sycophants as possible to out themselves. When the courts or Congress make it clear that Trump can't do this, he blame them for stiffing the workers, and then have a list of all the people he wants to fire anyway.
Turns out #Trump is actually a huge proponent of #DEI -- as long as it's Destruction, Extortion, and Intimidation.
Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.
Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
This, unfortunately, is who we are -- the people of the United States -- as Trump returns to office. Resentment, rage, ignorance, and lies rule the airwaves more than ever. www.mediaite.com/tv/just-how-...
Nearly a third of Pam Bondi's net wealth consists of stock in Trump's Truth Social platform.

It's still #January6, 2021. The lying, cheating, and lawlessness has never stopped.
This is a Wendy's, sir. You're setting a bad xample for the other patrons.
Speaking of Hummers, what percentage of them are still on the road? Is their half-life something like three years? Can't remember the last time I saw one...
Not to mention the rest of their children's lives, however shortened they may be.
Hegseth is gone this week, followed by Kennedy, Gabbard, and Patel. Only real question is the order of withdrawal and how long they're left to twist slowly in the wind.
CNN's Reliable Sources newsletter today:
"Fox, which employed Hegseth for a decade, has not covered the past week's controversies involving his nomination to DOD at all, according to SnapStream and TVEyes database searches... Fox is the top TV outlet for Republicans."
