The world’s richest man and a kid named “big balls” brought 6.7% unemployment to DC, put uniformed Fed troops in the streets and per conservative estimates cut programs that’ll result in the deaths of millions of people: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/u...
While you’re paying for this Administration’s unauthorized war and watching your costs skyrocket, the Trump family is expanding its business empire and pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars.
Jared Kushner, Don Jr., and Eric. All cashing in on this presidency in real time.
How profoundly immoral.
A typo twice, ok babe.
Yes, I know - so who is the she you’re talking about?
Tina Smith is a senator asking questions, she isn’t answering them
A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

I'll simply say again that for Shlaes to resurface in The Economist at this moment is an indicator of an ambient concern that Rooseveltian policies and politics are increasingly likely. The thing about the New Deal is, it was *immensely popular.* That's terrifying to certain people

We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.
Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.
Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.
With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.
Howard Lutnick's firm, Cantor Fitzgerald, bought up the rights to refunds from importers, essentially betting against his boss's signature economic policy. Lutnick -- and his adult sons who run CF -- will make a fortune. The cynical cash grab continues.
The FBI reported to the Senate Judiciary Committee that Kash Patel had been successfully targeted in recruitment programs run by both the Russian and the Chinese intel services and that Kash had taken money from each. But then we knew this long ago, and the Senate GOP decided they didn't care
I always laugh when people can’t acknowledge the fact that republicans were slashing state school funding in the 1980s which slowly led to ballooning college costs, which they now rail against too.

7/When a president can make convictions disappear for his allies while leaning on prosecutors to go after his critics, the damage isn’t just theoretical, it’s already happening in front of our eyes. It’s on all of us to see it clearly and refuse to look away. joycevance.substack.com/p/justice-ac...
3/Here’s what that means: The gov’t wants to pretend the indictments didn’t occur & juries never convicted these defendants on some of the most serious charges that can be leveled against people in a democracy. Vacating a conviction means it never happened.
Here’s the chaser: At the same time…
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures ... have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?
⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry.

Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'
