Trump is treating inflation and high prices the way he treated Covid: claiming the numbers are going down. But like Covid, he can’t lie his way out of this one because everyone is experiencing it. And like Covid it will be his downfall.

you can’t voter suppress your way out of this kind of enthusiasm people are Very Mad

Musk, who’s just wrangled a nearly USD 1 trillion comp package, is largely responsible for this. There are candidate motives that make his dismantling of USAID more despicable. But the outcome alone—esp., as I think it’s fair to presume knew it to some extent—is indictment enough.

This does, for me, capture something. I don’t expect Trump to be trying to help stabilize this guy. But his blank, almost peeved expression, his standing firm at his desk rather than making way for a medic or even just getting out of the way really seems consistent with what we know about the man.

Things he’s confusing/ conflating: - SNAP benefits and affordability - Energy and at-the-pump fuel prices - Inflation vs. prices 1/2

At the turn of the 20th century, the leading cause of death among adult men in the U.S. was sepsis secondary to a tooth abscess.

This is the hype video the White House posted when they arrested Sandwich Guy, who was found not guilty today.

Alright, who used the word ”liquid” in front of Trump? I‘m sure it won’t surprise you that his comment is gibberish. There are lots of details, but it’s not really possible for us to run into the kind of liquidity problem he alludes to. (So long as we maintain our present monetary sovereignty.)

Holy ass he said it out loud. They can't make us feed hungry people. This is insane. Like insane right? This is our tax money earmarked for SNAP and he's like no it's mine now, check out the ballroom.

Anyone downwind of this sundowning walrus turd is taking their life into their own hands

Yeah. You know, just buy two tickets…🤦‍♂️

Bad AI supplanting human expertise is an issue that transcends any one field, but man—not many people on earth whose knowledge and dedication deserves respect like LIBRARIANS.

Ya think?

I wrote a lot about Ken Griffin at my job because he is a prominent art collector and art patron but since I was laid off I can point out he doesn't even live in NYC; he moved his hedge fund's headquarters from Chicago to Palm Beach in 2022.

This is just… saying they can’t do nazi concentration camps… it’s the bare minimum and the govt lost its mind about it. Really telling honestly.

Matt "Just say deliberate" Van Epps. I worked with this guy. He's the absolute definition of a yes man, and he's clearly gotten his orders on this. The amount of pure loser behavior on display here is embarrassing. Good thing people like him have no shame. We need @aftynbehn.bsky.social to win.

Republicans threw an Islamophobic Hail Mary in the final hours of the New York mayoral election

This you?

Has the prosecutor presented the “Gassy Roll” 2nd sandwich theory yet?

Wait. Isn’t this the guy who yesterday said, in contravention of a court order, he wouldn’t restore SNAP benefits until the government shutdown was over?

To the surprise of no one.

A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism. “I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.” zeteo.com/subscribe

Last night’s story in Georgia is a story about voters reclaiming our power. GYJC knocked on 132,491 doors to educate folks on the Public Service Commission race. In Fayette, Houston, & Paulding County–communities long written off as unwinnable–GYJC showed up and changed what’s possible in Georgia.

lol

Truly, the funniest line out of Zohran's mouth during the campaign was something to the effect of "Habibi, you have spent more than the two percent I was asking for." I died.

Incredible

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term. Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms. Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊 #AccountabilityIsComing

Totally not a cult.

Imagine being this much of a bigot. And being perfectly comfortable sharing your ignorant bigotry to you 314,000 followers.

So the way my facial hair grows makes my mustache SUPER dense in the middle, and if I so chose could rock a really dank Charlie Chaplin, but I can't, because some fucking loser couldn't get into art school and made it everyone else's problem. Reason one million and one to punch a nazi today.

And I will reduce drug prices by 2000% in two weeks.

A guy can dream.

57% of ad spending by Rs in Virginia targeted trans people, and the Ds absolutely shellacked the Rs. Is this goober really gonna try to bang this drum some more?

It’s hard to be precise, but somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 million Americans—I mean, ~26 million believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump—would basically vote for this weirdo under any circumstance. Just chew on that.

Omg. Who did this?
