I dont feel so good

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

He sold arms to terrorists to fund terrorists - but the real battle was in his heart.

Dems pulled some procedural craftiness to get these Epstein files public. Encourage good deeds. Help Democrats organize and build for the long term from Texas ( secure.actblue.com/donate/jrsli... ) to Maine ( secure.actblue.com/donate/jrsli... ) by supporting local activists in these key states.

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people. Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.

10/10. Chef's kiss. No notes. 💯

Here is the story. Now remember that the IQ guy is taking a job from a woman who is objectively far more accomplished than he is, and neither he nor Trump will see any contradiction between their espoused commitment to intelligence and how they are acting. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas

The U.S. Secretary of Energy does not know that electricity is energy. I'm glad we've gotten rid of DEI programs and are now giving America the leadership it deserves.

Your dad was Mario Cuomo.

This is the type of person Trump pardoned. He proudly asserts that they should have injured a US Capitol Police Officer worse than they did on January 6th (@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social) had to medically retire). But MAGA supports law enforcement? Seriously? Then show me by condemning this guy.

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.

Trump just ended the century-old "de minimis" exemption, which allowed items worth less than $800 to be shipped to the country duty-free, or without having to pay any tariffs. In response, postal services from around the world have begun suspending shipments to the US www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

Trump admin planning to change student visas from lasting for duration of academic program to fixed 4-yr term, and then much harder to renew Could destroy US ability to attract global talent, particularly those seeking advanced degrees in STEM. The median time to complete a PhD is 5.7 yrs per NSF.

The CDC is one of Atlanta’s crown jewels. Dedicated public servants who are tireless advocates for public health. They deserve better than this administration’s disregard for science. We deserve much more from our government than conspiracy theories and indifference towards individuals’ well-being.

"WGBH, the bellwether public TV station in Boston, has laid off the 13 people who worked on the history series “American Experience” and announced that no new documentaries will be produced for the show until further notice." 🗃️ www.nytimes.com/2025/08/27/a...

I honestly can’t wait to see how the Navy reacts to 1. The admin trying to change the name to Dept of War and 2. The claim that it was the War Dept (and apparently the War Dept alone) that won the two world wars. This is Naval Erasure!! Forrestal is rolling in his grave!!

The carve out that SCOTUS gave to the Fed when it allowed Trump to fire members of other independent agencies did not look especially well grounded in law. Now SCOTUS will either defend it or engage in further judicial pretzeling to give Trump what he wants. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/why-the-su...

this is exactly right. it's the same stupid bet every republican has made since 2015.

Yes, the stakes here are large. Very large.

The markets can believe Nothing-Ever-Happens longer than you can remain solvent

What’s worse: A ruling saying the Fed’s protections of for-cause removal are unconstitutional, or a ruling saying that the President’s determination that there is cause is unreviewable?

Frieze, Fulton County Dept. of Health and Wellness, Atlanta, Georgia. They don't decorate public buildings the way they used to. It makes me feel better already. Go get 'em doc. Not today Death, not today.

We got this with Brexit too where there was a lot of, "Aha! It wasn't as bad as you nerds warned!" ... yes because you listened to us and: 1. Had a multi-year transition period; 2. Negotiated a tariff free EU FTA; 3. Accepted EU standards; 4. Did not actually implement border screening for YEARS.

the people of America cried out "IKEA is too cheap Mr. President! It is too easy for me to find affordable and utilitarian home furniture!" and the President lept into action

How you lose the rule of law and your status as a global economic and political superpower - gradually, then suddenly.

That’s never stopped his supporters before

Sometimes the sheer idiocy of this moment overwhelms me. The idea that our convicted felon POTUS who incited an attack on DC police then pardoned the attackers & who's the most corrupt official in US history is going on an "anti-crime" ride-along in a city w/falling crime rate is...(brain explodes)

"While I support the intent to accelerate housing development, I cannot in good conscience support any legislation that might actually do that."

When someone is allowed to detach public power from law & wield it as a personal tool, then you, your family, and your property become less secure.

“Mamdani must renounce his ties to Uganda, the country we are making a deal with to take our deportations.”

Tell me you don’t understand how market forces work without telling me you don’t understand how market forces work.

As Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo put it: "A city where you can get let go of your child's hand"

“The aggressor is always peace-loving… he would prefer to take over our country unopposed.” My favorite Clausewitz line, one of my favorite quotes from anything, really applies here.

My nomination for dumbest urban policy idea of 2025: Melbourne's mayor wants to fine pedestrians who don't "keep left" on the sidewalk. He says the rule is needed before a transit expansion brings 500k people/week into Melbourne. Here's a better idea: **Expand the sidewalks**

We must preserve the US Postal Service because UPS or FedEx would never do this.

holy cow, it’s always important to track universities’ institutional debt, but this stat is wild: 85% of undergrad students’ tuition going to service debt at U Chicago

A person who was such a toxic bigot she was banned from Facebook, Venmo, PayPal, GoFundMe, Instagram, CPAC, Uber and Lyft has more influence with the President than many Cabinet members.

These two things cannot both be true: 1: throwing a sandwich at a federal officer is a violent assault worthy of prosecution. 2: raiding the Capitol grounds, assaulting police offices & vandalizing federal property in an effort to interfere with an election is a harmless protest worthy of pardons.

if i were a pro-trump financial type i might view the destruction of reliable government data with the kind of anger and apprehension that might lead me to reevaluate my politics, but then if i’m a financial guy throwing my weight behind strongman rule, i’m already too stupid to breathe

The Airbus A320 series “is poised to overtake its US competitor as the most-delivered commercial airliner in history ..” @bloomberg.com $BA www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Yep, pretty much sums it up.

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.

Strange, I was told congestion pricing would turn Manhattan into a ghost town

"Many residents still do not feel safe." 41% of Americans feel that ghosts exist, which is why I am demanding that we set up a Federal Office of Ghostbusting

Antoni’s only been the chief economist of the Heritage Foundation for four months. He only got his PhD in 2020. He’s never worked for a government statistical agency, either at federal level or state. Republicans talk about “DEI hires” endlessly, then put forward people as underqualified as this…

one of the biggest arguments against AI dependence is that the strongest proponents of its use have become visibly *dumber* in the last few years.

"Private equity is causing the housing crisis" is a very common take that mixes up cause and effect. Single-family homes are an attractive investment vehicle for private equity because there's a shortage of them, not the other way around.
