SARA EISEN: The president is just expressing what he wants in terms of monetary policy
ELIZABETH WARREN: I'm sorry. Is that real? You think it's not different to say 'here's how I read the numbers' and being the president and employing the DOJ to bring criminal charges against someone?
Look at this chart.
Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.
States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).
I hope Gov. Hochul does.
I'm not going to provide details, so don't ask. Nevertheless:
No, it is not OK to have one hallucinated cite. No, you can't delete that and expect me to take the rest of your work seriously. No, absolutely not. It should never ever happen.
The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

Support these data centers: SCHOOLS, LIBRARIES, BOOKSTORES
Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

flipping through a proof of yet another book from a somewhat well known liberal voice diagnosing “where the left went wrong” and i’m struck, again, by the fact that a large part (if not most) of the liberal commentariat simply does not believe that the political right has agency.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
