Trump Moves to Cut NATO Bombers, Submarines, and Warships in Major Win for Russia open.substack.com/pub/olgalaut...

Stephen Miller: "Based on what I've heard, we could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them"

Dude, your boss is currently trying to steal $1,776,000,000 from the Treasury. And that’s just *one* of his scams. You people have ZERO self-awareness.

Secretary Whiskeyd*ck Has A Message For [Hic!] West Point Grads By @evanhurst.substack.com you should follow him! www.wonkette.com/p/secretary-...

BARTIROMO: Last time we spoke, you told me you were expecting GDP growth to go north of 6% later this year once the Iran conflict wraps up. Are you still expecting that? HASSETT: I really do think you could see a quarter like that

Hassett: "AI is creating jobs right now and the people who are using it are booming. It's not a negative employment story at all."

BARTIROMO: Are you worried about affordability right now? HASSETT: Absolutely. The price of gas has gotta come down. We've gotta continue to do things like make sure all the groceries store aren't closing because of stupid rules about refrigerators.

The correlation is almost perfectly correlated.” If nothing else comes out of this era, I hope people stop conflating intelligence and wealth, because this administration is full of ultra wealthy people who are fucking morons.

Hassett on record low consumer sentiment: "They call it 'consumer sentiment' but I don't think those words mean what they think. The correlation between what independents and Democrats say is almost perfectly correlated. So they've devised a political survey that tells us how Democrats are feeling."

Great point from @dceiver.bsky.social on our pod: Attacking Trump's corruption can serve as an umbrella for attacking many other disastrous MAGA effects: Destroying our democracy, wrecking professional civil service, empowering tech oligarchy. Our exchange on this: newrepublic.com/article/2108...

We are spending more money because things cost more. How are you an economics expert?!

Why is this guy so happy we have to spend more money on everything?

Hassett: "The thing I've seen is that while people have been spending more money at gas stations, they've been spending more money on everything else, which means they're still very very optimistic about the state of the economy" (Consumer sentiment is actually at an all time low ... )

Hassett: "As soon as the straits are open, then energy prices are gonna plummet like nothing you've ever seen before"

GOP has "abandoned the idea of crafting policy. They are a full-time media operation, trolling and creating content. The president is checked out. There is no turnaround coming as long as Trump/GOP are in power." On the pod, @dceiver.bsky.social nails the moment: newrepublic.com/article/2108...

Rep. Malliotakis: "I'm willing to hear what the White House has to say in terms of why this fund is needed, and I do believe there are people who have been legitimate victims of weaponization under the Biden administration that deserve to be compensated"

So twisted, just by saying basic, humanistic things. Like. Things any sane, centered, "good" person would think. I think that's why they hate it so much. It's someone exemplifying basic, human decency, but they have a lot of sway and authority.

BARTIROMO: The Pope said AI could make civilization 'less human.' Why is the Pope commenting on AI right now? BURGUM: I didn't know that tech editorializing was part of the role of being Pope

He is echoing the Kevin O’Leary playbook of accusing activists of being foreign or something.

I'm tired of being force-fed this billionaire wet dream of a planet run by AI. I just want the billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes, so I can have affordable Healthcare and clean air to breathe.

Says the slug-brained twit who stated at a recent Congressional committee hearing that solar power isn’t reliable because the sun doesn’t shine at night. And he’s SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR OF THE UNITED STATES.

The one in Utah he is talking about, is planning on using 16.6 billion gallons of water each year. Utah is in a severe draught, the governor has declared a water emergency.

And it's noisy as hell.

They're reaching deep now. Yeah, must be the "foreign propaganda." Actually, I just don't want to have a facility that takes all my water, spikes my power bills, and also tries to take my job from me.

Burgum: "We shouldn't even call these 'data centers.' We should call it manufacturing intelligence. There's a concentrated information propaganda war that's geo-targeted. Any place that's trying to build data centers is getting bombarded with foreign-directed propaganda to try to block these."

Crucial finding from @gelliottmorris.com's new poll: Dems are now at near-parity with Republicans on which party is more trusted on immigration. GOP only +1. That's astounding. And it confirms what I argue in this piece: The core tenets of right wing nationalism are getting deeply discredited.

i regret to inform you that our crazy president is promoting QAnon again this morning

Burgum: "It's obviously President Trump two moves ahead of his critics as always. Nothing short of aspiration for peace in the Middle East. I mean, who on a Saturday afternoon over a holiday weekend can pull together all of the world leaders from the gulf state allies, get 'em all on a phone call?"

New in PN: Elon Musk is about to get richer and more powerful than ever "If the artificial intelligence industry was built on a bubble before, it’s about to get even more so — and your retirement account could depend on whether that bubble pops."

agreed

I think that is part of it, the other part is I suspect Rs who have survived this cycle without Trump trying to purge them are betting he won't be alive and/or coherent enough to go after them next cycle.

Do you really not know that presidential approval matters probably more than anything else in midterm elections?

Trump's polling collapse is more significant than people think. As Trump bleeds non-MAGA Rs and alienates groups he made inroads with in 2024, GOP lawmakers are now genuinely fearing voters that lie outside the MAGA rump. That's something new. Some thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2108...

Trump reposts a violent AI meme depicting himself with a shotgun hunting rhinos, with the text: “NO RINOS! REPOST TO MAKE THE POINT CLEAR”

"In September 2025, nine mosques and cultural centers in and around Paris were targeted...Bloody severed pig heads, each marked with the word “Macron” in blue ink, were left outside their front doors." This was a Russian stunt. From @occrp.org Read more: www.occrp.org/en/investiga...

Correct. When he had what they attempted to pretend was "a preventative MRI" it meant they were either 1. looking for something 2. monitoring something What, has not been disclosed.

Reiner: "I'll be interested to see what testing they do today because if they repeat some of the scans that have been done in the last year or so, that tells us they are surveilling something and that's never been disclosed to us."

Ossoff: "What those who build ballrooms and monuments for themselves, what they hate the most is when people hold them accountable at the polls. So why Fulton County? I submit to you it is bc the fact Black voters were instrumental to his defeat might be more offensive to him than the defeat itself"

RFK Jr just caught dinner.
