I'd be interested in seeing what the response would be if that question was asked today.

Again?! Didn't he do that last week? I have a sense that he's trying to work himself to do some war criming.

Even one ball in the air at a time is a challenge for our president. Having this many in the air at once -- with no competent help available -- is beyond his capabilities.

If people already lose money on the stock market by making decisions sober, imagine them being pissed. 🤣

“the Partnership for Public Service… estimated that 95,000 employees had departed federal science agencies from September 2024 to December 2025.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/04/b...

You're only a "war hero" when you're in a war & fit enough to fight. When you get seriously hurt or get out of the Service, instead of a war hero, you become a liability -- something the country that accepted your service & promised to take care of you has to pay for. Then a whole new fight starts.

I agree with MTG on almost nothing BUT At least she had the fortitude to stop being part of the fawning mass of flunkies heaping praise on a man who deserves none

Apparently, Pam Bondi was not well loved by the rank and file at the Department of Justice. By Friday morning, her official portrait was photographed face-up in a garbage bin at the DOJ. Not archived. Not stored. Trashed. www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

you were never going to get an anti-war president from a chauvinistic, jingoistic political party full of people who fantasize about being in a holy war. and yet, despite the US Army raising the enlistment age to 42, not a single one of these pro-war podcasters and pundits have signed up to fight.

Once again Trump shoots himself in the foot.

Unless you work in a hospital or hotel, it was not a great employment report. And events like like that viral massive 30k Oracle layoff? That is NOT included in this report. That data will be in future reports #EconSky

I hope some of those "good Christians" in Congress shine a light on this.

Why are there no reported campus protests over Trump's war? 🤔

We could’ve had healthcare and science and democracy but noooo, they wanted Grandpa Stinky McGrumpypants to come home and take his belt off....

This is not the Grand Canyon National Park, but the million acre Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni — Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument that President Joe Biden designated it in 2023. The lawsuit is all about mining on the monument.

Arkansas: The "Kick 'em While They're Down" state,

There are some weird things in the jobs report released today, not the least of which is that we're still seeing the see-saw effect we've been seeing every other month since May of last year. I expect to see it again next month. Also, there's a disparity between

The US economy has added only 260,000 jobs in the past year. 380,000 jobs were added in healthcare. Most other industries *lost* jobs #EconSky

Amy nails the disease here—the Immobile Economy. Everything is frozen in place.

We’re remembering the trailblazing Jane Goodall on her birthday today. Happy birthday to Jane Goodall! 🐒🌱🧪 #JaneGoodall #ClimateChange #Environment #WomenInSTEM #Science

"Rich person says something stupid that would be ignored if not-rich person said it" is continuing to do a roaring trade

Now Trump will only have to look at one news source. Think of how much time and ketchup this will save. He should have much more time to work for the American people now.

Leah has a whole thread on this if you want to follow along. I haven't seen what type of F-15 (one seat or two seat) was involved, but only ejection seat came down.

I wonder what rabbit these strategic geniuses are going to pull out of their ... hat ... next.

This is "household", not "everybody's household". It doesn’t include pension assets. Too, Zoomers with disposable income are more likely to invest in non-traditional assets like crypto, 2hich wouldn't show up here.

This is a terrific article. Herewith a sample....

The latest AAA data (below) shows that the national average for regular gas (petrol) has climbed to $4.09 per gallon. Dispersion across the country remains, ranging from an average of $3.27 in Oklahoma to a $5.90 in California. #economy #energy #oil #markets #gas

This isn't just a good post, the comments to it are worth reading as well.

Well, there goes my next vacation.

If they keep this up, it may not matter that Trump lifted sanctions on Russian oil. 🫡

Trump writes Dems’ ad for midterms

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Kolanovic.

He's got three more years to outdo himself.

What would YOU do if you rolled your car?

I could be mistaken, of course, but it looks like Pete Hegseth might have risen far beyond his level of incompetence.

For once, I don't think Congress will give the Pentagon anywhere near what it wants.

Oh no, not his legacy!!! I'm pretty sure his legacy will be chiseled in stone long before that.

Not surprising. I suspect that FedEx and UPS have or will raise their rates as well.

If I didn't make these myself I wouldn't believe them.

Pete Hegseth was one year old when General George took the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. He has discharged his duties with honor and distinction essentially for Hegseth's whole life. What Hegseth is doing is contemptible.

There a difference between the price on June futures, which is what you commonly see quoted (currently $109/bbl) and the spot price, which is the price you'll pay to get a barrel right now.

Not sorry to see her go.

Another month like March and we'll be close to 7% again. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/b...

Even if the war were to end today, prices would stay high for months.

Turkmenistan had a military show to impress the son of the dictator and it was as awesome as you'd expect. c/o @jayinkyiv.bsky.social

Correct.

I guess they weren't impressed.

"The Trump Justice Department's legal counsel concluded that the Presidential Records Act is 'exceeds Congress' powers ... at the expense of the constitutional independence and autonomy of the executive branch,' according to the White House official." If this is their whole argument, they'll lose.
