Congratulations to my old friend and mentor Gar Alperovitz who was the young staffer for Sen. Gaylord Nelson (D-WI) who wrote the original Earth Day legislation in 1970.

U.S. Considers Financial Support for Oil-Rich U.A.E.

Seems like NYT should have mentioned that UAE's spymaster bought 49% of Trump's World Liberty Financial and used $2B of its USD1 stablecoin, directing hundreds of millions to Trump.

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.

Trump’s Fed Chair nominee grades Trump‘s economy an A, despite soaring gas prices, rising inflation, and plummeting GDP.

Just another Trump ass kisser who is untethered to reality.

So weird that Trump just happens to choose the course of action most favorable to Russian interests and no one else

Actually, they didn't. What you mean to say is that Trump was up-front about what he intended to do, and many of his voters chose not to take him seriously. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/the-ration...

PETE HEGSETH: "It's a well known fact that the flue *can't* spread in a crowded submarine. Jesus said that. Or did I read it on the bottom of a beer bottle cap? Another mystery, man!"

Am I reading this right: Companies who paid for Trump's "beautiful" tariffs will be compensated, but haven't they already passed on the cost of the tariffs to the comsumers?

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

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...

Why is the Maga project teetering? Because not even Trump supporters voted for this dysfunction | Moira Donegan The president’s fixation on culture-war grievances is a colossal misreading of voters who just want prices to come down, says Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

SORKIN: There's a whole number of very large companies, including Apple and Amazon, that have not sought reimbursements yet for the tariffs. From what I understand, part of the reason is they're worried about offending you.


TRUMP: I think it's brilliant. They got to know me very well. I'm honored.

I noted the day of the SCOTUS decision that JB Pritzker IMMEDIATELY moved to make this point, by demanding a refund for IL. And State refunds may be the best way to politicize how Trump created the worst of all worlds. But Elizabeth Warren is, predictably, focused on it as well.

I'm tellin' you, that guy Warsh is bad news for the Fed.
Please call and put pressure on your senators to NOT confirm him. The consequences will take decades to correct.
Remind them of all the horrible confirmations thus far in this administration.
And, remind them you vote.

Warsh has clearly indicated that he will say or do anything to protect and enable a treasonous pedophile.

Warren: Did you invest with Donald Trump, the Chinese or Jeffrey Epstein?

Warsh: Those entities will all be sold if I am confirmed

👀 👀

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.
