Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
Caught Bruce Springsteen's homecoming show in Newark last night, part of a tour designed as a musical cavalcade of protest against the rise of American authoritarianism. I have to say that as a brash and sincere act of dissent, it was one of the most genuinely patriotic things I've witnessed.
"This impressive, continuing coverage exemplifies investigative reporting at its best."
WIRED won the Hillman Prize for our coverage of DOGE's takeover of the federal government! I'm so so proud of our team, and so honored!
CHRIS WRIGHT: What happens when the wind blows right now? We turn down natural gas plants and we save 2 cents in reduced natural gas price. We pay a 4 cent subsidy and save 2 cents

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Let's sum up Trump's tariffs.
1) They were illegal and also corrupt and arbitrary.
2) They did real damage to economy, esp farmers, small business.
3) Lutnick cheerled them while his spawn prepared to $$.
4) Corps (& some small businesses) finally getting refunds.
5) Consumers will get squat.

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.
Happy 89th Birthday George Takei!

As a child, Takei and his family were forcibly relocated to Japanese...
@hcrichardson.bsky.social Happy Tuesday Dorchester
For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.
I noted yesterday that we would do well to describe what role the actions Trump is performing, rather than assuming he is functioning as President.
Mostly, Trump is an old man retreating into his lifelong hobbies: construction, cons, and corruption. With lots of golf.

Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Hurricane Leah is destined to flood Mar-a-lago. ( Wouldn't it be delicious if that happened?)
