Trump: "I say that our soybeans -- I told this to President Xi -- our soybeans are more nutritious than competitors. Somebody said, 'Is that a Trump statement, or is that real?' You know who asked me that question? President Xi. But that's what I hear."

Every real economist in America warned at the time he was imposing tariffs that it would affect each of these things, and deportations have affected the ability of farmers to access labor. This is all happening because of one man.

Supreme Court oral argument this morning, in sum Sotomayor: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (derogatory) Gorsuch: you're asking us to destroy the foundation of government (complimentary)

oh hey look it’s the thing literally everyone said would happen

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too? A witness recorded ICE agents taking a cash box from a taco stand in La Puente during an operation where four people were arrested.

"Now that I've hit everyone with ruinous taxes, I'll dole some of it back out to my political supporters as welfare payments."

Trump’s worldview is one of winners and losers. Always has been. His new National Security Strategy picks Russia, China, authoritarians, his friends and his family as the winners. Do you know who Trump decided the losers are? You and your family and our safety.

I guess the Administration is going to try not to release the full video.

Can't afford Christmas decorations because of tariffs? Michael Kosta has the perfect solution

Isn’t it a Trump admin policy that if you haven’t learned English after you have been in the US for 30 years then you lose your citizenship? I thought I saw that on the internet. bsky.app/profile/atru...

“.. Given Trump’s position on situations like this, he’s going to either need to fire himself or refer himself to the Department of Justice,” said Kathleen Engel, a Suffolk University law professor and leading expert on mortgage finance. @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Paramount's entire sales pitch is the US government will do our bidding AND they are paying the president's son-in-law: Trump Family's corruption is magnitudes more than anything else in US history.

Trump proposes a $12 billion aid package for farmers hurt by his own trade policies.

So strange that CBS's $16 million payoff a few months ago didn't buy the company a reprieve from Trump's hostility

There is a difference: Trump ultimately lived in *neither* of his "primary residences."

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.) Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Health insurers are jacking up premiums while raking in billions in profits. Expiring ACA subsidies will saddle millions of Americans with massive monthly premium increases. Is it any wonder that 63% of Americans now support Medicare for All?

We're bringing in trillions in foreign investments.... All to ourselves.

The new US ‘National security strategy’ spits in the eye of every day since August 1945. Total abdication of the ‘values based world order’ for something much more chaotic, where USA seeks advantage by creating plight for others. The USA is no longer a friend or partner. It’s all gone.

NEW: The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans. We found that Trump once did the very thing he claimed could be a crime.

The Trump National Security Strategy document warns that certain European countries are in danger of becoming majority non-European. But European countries are by definition 100% European. Unless they mean something else that they don’t want to explicitly say. 🤔👌

Literally a week ago Musk said that falsely labeling people as Nazis "should be treated as incitement to murder." And here he is (falsely) labeling the EU as Nazis.

Of course anyone with half a brain knew how this was going to end long ago: Walk away from Ukraine, walk away from NATO, blame Zelensky, lots of business deals between Trump, his cronies, and our new “friends” the murderous, corrupt, lying Russians.

“He passed a crypto bill that helped all the crypto donors. He has served Israel’s interest, even attacking Iran. He has serve big Pharma… we’re still out here saying we want to see action on areas for the American people, not for the major industries and the big donors.” - MTG

"Needy Amin" still ranks among the banger nicknames for Trump.

Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she shared with Trump death threat she received that he incited, and his response was "extremely unkind"

We’re all seeing this, right? Elon is amplifying Russian talking points, right? Elon should be treated as if he is a threat to the west, because he is.

"The Supreme Court is set to decide if the Constitution violates the Constitution."

Trump has issued over 2,000 pardons and commutations this year, letting a string of drug dealers, corrupt politicians, and MAGA-friendly businessmen off the hook in a gross abuse of the Constitution. Commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

After 99 years, Michigan clockmaker Howard Miller is shutting down. The culprit: Trump's tariffs. "If the federal government had said, ‘Oh, it's a 10% tariff, constant,' … they might've worked things out," an employee said. "But no. It's just chaos." By @annaleighclark.bsky.social

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X. Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene. A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Affordability concerns are real because: - Tariffs raise import costs - Deportations make it harder to harvest crops - Attacking Obamacare hikes premiums - Budget deficits raise mortgage payments - Undermining the Fed risks inflation. It's not a hoax; it's a policy choice.

Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department. One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone. When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?

Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.
