JPMorgan sounds as exasperated as the rest of us.

Distraction and hoping to jump start the markets. 🙄

No ma’am. Now is the time to show your constituents, many who have been affected by this administration’s irresponsible behavior,‘that you stand for what is right. This is not it.

A Man!

Serbian opposition did this in parliament today. Just a thought for Democrats.

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp' Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to “drain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.

Claiming "you were only following orders" did not cut it at the Nuremberg trials.

It will not work here either.

Proceed accordingly.

Frederick Douglass Parade Canceled After 54th Massachusetts Pulls Out The Trump administration’s ongoing crusade to roll back DEI initiatives was never out of a concern for fairness or challenging what it sees as unjust discrimination.

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long.

They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

Lauren M. on Substack The US needs to stop saying “Half of America voted for this.” That is not true. The largest demographic that impacted the 2024 election were eligible non-voters. Nearly 90 million of the 245 ...

2 dead after small planes collide in Arizona Two people have been confirmed dead after a Lancair and a Cessna collided midair at Marana Regional Airport in Arizona on Wednesday.

My heart breaks at news of another horrific plane crash. I'm praying for the families of the victims & people of Arizona. It's vital the government thoroughly investigate this tragedy to bring peace to the victims and families and protect everyone flying in the US.

My wife’s friend knows somebody who signed the buyout. Got placed on admin leave, then terminated and no payout.

Trump handed massive tax cuts to the rich in 2017. Now he's planning even more cuts.

How are Trump and MAGA Republicans planning to pay for them?

By making it harder for millions of Americans to access Medicaid, food stamps, and other federal programs.

Trickle up economics.

Dear third-party voters, you’ve been awfully quiet. What’s up? What’s the game plan for the next 3 years and 11 months?

Asking for 75,017,626 friends who did the right thing because we wanted to avoid all of this shit!!!

Why did U.S. homicides spike in 2020 and then decline rapidly in 2023 and 2024? In 2020, the average U.S. city experienced a surge in its homicide rate of almost 30%—the fastest spike ever recorded in the country.

It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes some people to realize that they’re part of the “you” in “The regime wants you dead.”

Here’s the pitch:

They hire back the accidentally-fired bird flu folks *and* the accidentally-fired nuclear security guys BUT they put them in each other’s jobs — also by accident!

It’s TRADING PLACES meets FAILSAFE meets CONTAGION — and maybe also FREAKY FRIDAY!
