When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

“Love Letters,” Received Forty Years Too Late Amy Holden Jones’s 1983 melodrama should have established her as a major Hollywood director, but, as a female filmmaker, she faced rejection.

Lovely article about one of my beloved early films in The New Yorker.

Donald Jr. and Eric Trump Pursue New Deals That Would Enrich President Trump The president’s older sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, spent the past two weeks traveling the world and announcing deals, many of which will financially benefit their father.

Yes. A big part of why so many young men are turning to destructive, amoral, misogynistic, bigoted, selfish, self-absorbed, blame-everyone-else ideologies is because that's what their dads believe in.

This aged well.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.

The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.

This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Stock Market Sees Biggest Declines of Trump’s Presidency So Far Fueling a 1.7 percent decline on Friday was an unexpected drop in the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index, as Americans worried about stubborn inflation.

The Trump recession begins. There is far worse to come. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/b...

The DOL Office of the Inspector General (“DOL OIG”) does critical work related to unemployment insurance fraud. To take just one example, during the pandemic, federal and state governments distributed over $888 billion in unemployment benefits to support Americans in crisis. However, my office uncovered that an estimated $191 billion in pandemic unemployment benefits may have been improperly paid—with a substantial portion of that money attributable to fraud.

5. A week before my purported termination at DOL IG, the Wall Street Journal ran an article commending my team and me on the great work we were combatting unemployment insurance fraud. It also mentioned the need to extend the statute of limitations. The article highlighted a U.S. Government Accountability Office report, estimating that $135 billion in funds had been stolen from the unemployment insurance program in a two-year span. Time is Running Out to Recover Up to $135 Billion in Pilfered Jobless Benefits, Wall St. J. (Jan. 16, 2025).

Fired Department of Labor IG Larry Turner found $191B in improper COVID unemployment payments, much of it fraud, and was hunting down $135B more when he was fired.

Here’s the guy who replaced Pete Buttigieg. If you’re flying anytime soon, good luck!

Oh. Would be a shame if everyone shared this everywhere while trump and Eric Adams try to work out a deal.

20 million $ to be exact. Thats what we paid for Trump to go to the Super Bowl.

Spoiler alert. They voted for him so they could hate freely.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Kaine: "He let Musk force the resignation of the FAA administrator. He disbanded an aviation safety committee... he's got an OMB director who's pushing a hiring freeze & saying 'I want to traumatize the federal workforce'"... he's got an anti-safety agenda..that's why he went the race-baiting route"

Yeah, how about not dissolving the air safety advisory commission at the FAA. As your team did last week.
