Even more to the point, Treasuries usually rally even when the United States is the source of the downturn - see also: the financial crisis. That they’re not now is really bad

I’m confused as to how the design and execution of this tariff policy wasn’t flawless. 🇺🇸

every person online who thinks the tariffs are a good idea are people who are trying to figure out how to take their first step as a huamn being

“Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” This doesn’t sound like “radical transparency” to me. Check out my latest secrecy newsletter to see which FOIA offices have closed so far, and which might be next.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

JUST IN: Judge James Boasberg has been assigned to the Signalgate lawsuit.

I don't know why Mississippi Today continues to say it is "the state's only nonprofit newsroom" (this is from a brand new job posting), but for the record, our nonprofit newsroom, the Mississippi Free Press, just turned 5 years old this month. 😜@mississippifreepress.org

What Krugman said

Epic idea

FOIA release shows Sierra Nevada reservoir water release was a wasteful stunt, officials knew it wouldn't reach SoCal Stories like this show how FOIA is critical for scrutinizing government activities, and why RIFs at FOIA offices (OMB's FOIA staff down 75%, for example) should be a top news story

How bad is this? Let me count the ways Also, and related, short of firing Powell (or trying, anyway) screwing with economic data would be just about the dumbest (and worst) thing to do apnews.com/article/trum...

Curtain call for the TCB Brian Clarey, co-founder and former Publisher/Executive Editor of the Triad City Beat speaks inside Scuppernong Books in #Greensboro, N.C. on Feb. 28 as weekly paper celebrated 11 years of business after publishing the final edition on Feb. 20. #TriadCityBeat #localnews

Support independent media.

I’m sorry I couldn’t do it any longer.

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

USA has ~600K undocumented Canadian & European immigrants How many CAN/EURO students is ICE raiding at schools? •0 How many CAN/EURO babies ripped from parents? •0 How many CAN/EURO people thrown in Camps? •0 It was never about “protecting our borders”—it was about protecting white supremacy.

The fact that undocumented workers are the backbone of American farm production is sort of an inconvenient narrative… www.ers.usda.gov/topics/farm-....

Who are the 60,000 voters being challenged by Justice Griffin in NC's state supreme court race? I did a brief analysis to find out. Available at the link below. #ncpol www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/fxt46...

Lots of truth here. And real journalism must report beyond partisanship and let the chips fall where they must. Never false equivalency.

I just want to mention that “I don’t even HAVE Facebook” has not quite reached the level of insufferable signaling that “I don’t even HAVE a television” once was, but goddamned if some of you aren’t doing your absolute best.

Only positive Trump/Musk spoken inside the X borders. 🙄 The propaganda/censorship machine is growing fast. Goebbels would approve. (“Gobbles” could be a good nickname for this one.)

Does it feel like tech is ceasing to evolve in ways that are useful to everyday people, and instead functions to control, placate and diminish us?

As many have pointed out, the New York Times published its "front page" story on Biden's economy's success 15 days before the transition to 🍊, not 15 days (or more) before an election that could have averted it. This means one thing. We need a new media. Let's fix it ourselves.

This is a great illustration of the problem with a deceptive Y-axis. It blows differences and changes waaaay out of proportion.

When a gentleman reaches a certain age, the flirty spambots start to hunt you down.
