JALEN BRUNSON IS THE 2026 NBA FINALS MVP! Brunson averaged 32.6 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 4.6 APG in the NBA Finals, leading the Knicks to their first championship in 53 years 🏆

Ossoff: This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand—that our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Boycott the construction companies that agree to build detention center warehouses. They are a disgrace. Shut their businesses down.

The vile video is racist. Period. And it came from a racist White House. If you can't say that, what are we doing here.

Buildings need to be approved by building inspector as fit for human habitation. Couldn't building inspectors halt the use of warehouses as detention centers.

My latest Bloomberg column is on how Intel's recent stock gyrations reveal a big, unseen risk in Trump's unprecedented "state capitalism" push: private investment chasing politics, not fundamentals. The economic costs could be substantial. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

It’s not just policy uncertainty It’s policy unpredictability that global investors are punishing. Consider it a political risk premium being placed on dollar denominated assets such as the greenback. #Econ #EconSky

This is one of the best illustrations of the dangers of the graft & grift linked to crony capitalism: A Tehran bank collapsed under the weight of bad loans to regime cronies. For some ordinary Iranians, it was the last straw. #Econ #EconSky www.wsj.com/world/middle...

i tell you what, if Democrats win the elections in 2026 and 2028, one of the biggest mistakes they could make is to talk about uniting the country by not prosecuting all of the lawbreakers and corruption of Trump administration officials. One reason we are here today is Ford's pardon of Nixon.

At this point, it’s utterly bonkers that any Democrat would trust any Republican to negotiate in good faith.

I went to the Treasury website to read a recent speech and was greeted with this…the US govt has become an embarrassment

Coincidence or not, that’s pretty crazy. (via MS desk) @dkthomp.bsky.social

Speaker Johnson continues to stall the swearing in of Rep.-elect Grijalva so as to avoid having to deal with the Epstein discharge petition. Why shouldn’t Dems make support for reopening the government contingent on adding to the funding measure a provision mandating release of the Epstein files?

A reminder: Dr. Cook's mortgages are not the real issue. The threat to US macro stability is the clear intention of the Trump Admin to influence the composition of the FOMC in defiance of the structures designed to insulate the institution from such influence. Thank you for coming to my TED talk

I am against gerrymandering, but I am also against unilateral disarmament. Gavin Newsom’s plan to redistrict in California, to get more seats in 2026, and stop Trump in his tracks, should be replicated by Democratic Governors across the country. We need to actually fight here.

The issue isn't Antoni's background in conservative advocacy, economists said. It's his history of distorting economic statistics to support partisan positions.

I’ve been a Democrat for only two months, and I could sign off on all of this. Thanks @heathmayo.bsky.social.👇

Typically within a 3 month window the response rate for a single monthly survey time improves to 90% which is why there are ongoing rolling revisions that are rarely as large as the downward 258K revision in June. The numbers are not rigged and they are the gold standard internationally. #Econ

Dr. Erika McEntarfer has devoted her career to public service. She has conducted herself as BLS Commissioner with great integrity. There is no evidence whatsoever that BLS data are politically biased. #econsky

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

What Frederick Douglass said of slaveholders applies to today’s authoritarians. “For this cause they hate free society, free schools, free states, free speech, the freedom asserted in the declaration of independence, and guaranteed in the constitution.” teachingamericanhistory.org/document/the...

I can’t believe that “illegals” seems to have become broadly accepted as the noun referring to basically all immigrants who haven’t completed all the steps to become permanent residents. It’s not even a good descriptor and it’s such a nasty, toxic word.

I dunno, but maybe Democratic members of Congress shouldn't go the White House picnic tonight and pretend everything's fine and dandy, unless and until Sen. Padilla gets a phone call apologizing for what happened from Donald Trump?

How about Democratic Members of Congress don’t go to a fucking White House picnic because the guy in the White House is a fascist, an authoritarian threat to this country, who’s disappearing people and inciting violence on our streets? Come on my fellow Democrats, enough already.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

The Fed will continue to approach the outlook and tariff impacts cautiously, meaning they're likely to keep sitting on their hands for an extended period of time before feeling compelled to act.

Probably the most important cause of fascism.

Even as we contemplate Congressionally authorized budgets, extracurricular DOGE cuts are starting to affect data collection www.bls.gov/ppi/notices/...

The FAA, Department of Transportation, and Trump administration need to deliver solutions for Newark Airport’s air traffic control now.

The Suspension Clause: 1) Doesn't allow the President to unilaterally suspend habeas, especially when Congress is in session; 2) Applies only to cases of invasion or rebellion (this is quite clearly neither); and 3) *Even then,* applies only "when the public safety may require it." (It doesn't.)

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

I called this strain of thought constitutional denialism.

The GDP report showed a big jump up in the Q1 federal government price deflator as taxpayers paying for severance packages to employees who are no longer working counts as inflation (i.e., spending more to get less service). DOGE is doing "efficiency" in the least efficient way possible!

Saying you want autocracy in the U.S. is fighting words. If you want to throw out the Constitution, with its balance of powers and rule of law, you'll have to do it over my dead body - literally.

A useful way to think about his tanking poll numbers is that they would be far worse if more people knew what he is doing

This is an incredibly ignorant and racist thing to say.

One more thing. Democrats need to grow a set immediately. If this script was flipped, and this was Biden’s national security team, the Republicans would be screaming from the rooftops about treason. Make some fucking noise. Hold hearings. Demand resignations and a full response.

Why are autos being exempted from tariffs if tariffs don’t raise consumer prices?

By the way, the word in Russian and Ukrainian for a "suit" is "kostyum", in case you were wondering why Zelensky used that word. He likely meant "suit" in answering Glenn.
