KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down? HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs KARL: So they might not go down?

To my students: Lean into skills AI amplifies, not ones it bulldozes. Frame good questions, scope problems, interpret messy data, apply judgment, explain clearly. The bot can autocomplete; you bring curiosity, context, and ethics.

I want a government that doesn’t sound like a deeply damaged, bratty boy when it communicates with citizens exercising their First Amendment rights.

Rep. Thomas Massie: "Trump's being a bully…They're trying to beat me here in Kentucky. But here's what's interesting, the people financing the campaign consist completely of three billionaires, and they're all in the Epstein class. One of them is named in Epstein's phone book."

"... please trust us now when we say that what is happening in the Chicago area is wrong. It is not law enforcement; it is terror.” The biggest names in Chicago broadcast news condemn the violent attack on the city they love. I talked to the author, Phil Ponce. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

Portable mortgages are like your cell phone plan: when you upgrade the phone, the plan comes with you. Let your mortgage follow you to the next house. That unfreezes movers—especially downsizers—and unlocks inventory. Lemme explain why I love this idea:

Evil AND incompetent. #Dumbflation

We are off the cliff folks

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." Malcolm X. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina. The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

Hey Megyn Kelly – would you leave your 14 daughter alone with Donald Trump? Stop trying to rationalize what is clearly rape.

We don’t have to choose — we can win the midterms *AND* build a Democratic Party that actually fights for us: indivisible2026.org/?utm_source=bluesky

Fear, horror, fury. 🫣😬🤬

"Get the hell outta my yard, you asshole". Good for her --->

Don the Con. 😠

Greg Sargent is one of the clearest thinkers on Trump's ongoing construction of a dictatorship. Everyone who cares about defending democracy and decency should give him a Bluesky follow, read his New Republic writings and listen to his podcast. Highly recommended.

The Great Depression had Gatsby. We’ve got Trump. Different century, same empty stomachs.

Clergy were dragged off in handcuffs at the Broadview ICE facility; faith leaders arrested for demanding basic humanity for detainees. The vigil turned confrontational after an attorney challenged ICE’s protest curfew. Instead of addressing abuses, police & ICE cracked down on clergy & activists.

Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

Priests being arrested

Chris Murphy: "I don't think anybody with ambition right now should be planning on running for president in 2028 because we might not have a free and fair election in 2028. We all have to be in the business of saving our democracy right now."

Maybe we should just call it the ‘Trump files’ This is damming 🔥

After weaponizing the shutdown to block SNAP benefits for hungry people, the Trump Admin is using the oldest trick in the book to do more of the same. This kind of red tape does nothing to prevent fraud — it just makes it harder for working people to get the benefits they need.

Trump's revenge campaign continues---> www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.

Even if it were true, "taking jobs from Americans" is not a criminal offense that calls for committing human right abuses against said person and potentially renditioning them to third countries with poor human rights records "This person is undocumented" does not mean "this person has ZERO rights"

It's back up again in Washington DC Over on 14th street and V in front of busboys and poets The Friendship Statue of trump and epstein "FRIENDS FOREVER " It is over 12 feet tall

This is another example of what has become one of the most dangerous — yet underreported — aspects of the Trump Administration: they fire people who tell the truth.

Jeffrey Epstein in 2015: "would you like photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen."

hmmmm maybe this why fox is almost completely ignoring the story....

Congrats again, everyone

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Helpful tracker!

Wow. Jeffrey Epstein writing about Trump in 2018: "He feels alone and is nuts!!! I told everyone from day one. Evil beyond belief. Mad, and most thought I was speaking metaphorically. It's obvious he could crack. Stormy Daniels? Lies after lies after lies."

Trump was credibility accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women. He said his celebrity allowed him to grab women by the genitals. A jury found he had jammed his fingers up a woman's vagina. A little context for the WH's denials of any wrongdoing. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Epstein mocked Trump for “leaving his nose print on the glass” while watching young women, wrote that Trump knew about illicit activity tied to Mar-a-Lago, and visited “many times,” and noted Trump’s planned visit to his neighbor Howard Lutnick’s house.

Wow

Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein once tried to warn people about President Donald Trump, calling him "evil beyond belief" and "nuts," according to newly released documents from the case.

Imagine one of the worst people on Earth saying this about you, and the you happens to be Donald Trump, the President.

“What is most concerning is not what this administration has done, but what the majority in this body has failed to do — hold Trump accountable as a coequal branch of government that we are.” -Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

👏 "Spoken like Don the Con."

Trump’s all-in for billionaires with special deals and tax cuts — but wants to shut down the agency that protects Americans from grifters and rip-offs. The CFPB’s returned $21B to cheated Americans. No wonder Trump wants it gone. He’s with the cheaters.
