Hey Jesse Watters, I Don't Think AOC Is The One Who Wants To Sleep With Stephen Miller

Calling tariff revenue a “windfall” is like calling your speeding ticket a bonus for the police budget. Sure, it’s revenue. But for you, it’s a tax.

The Framers made arguably one major mistake: They believed the legislative branch would jealously guard its power. They could not have fathomed that the legislative branch (Out of laziness, raw partisanship and a desire to keep their sinecures) would willingly surrender its power.

Oh my

The @nytimes.com is reporting that the president is removing Billy Long, who just got there, as head of the #IRS

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes. Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items. If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

Oh.

For comparison purposes, that's the equivalent of what 272,602 federal workers earn in a year.

Unhappy with today's weak jobs report, Trump shoots the messenger, ordering the firing of the labor official in charge of tabulating employment numbers. @bencasselman.bsky.social @tonyromm.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07...

Whew that #jobs report was no good. Especially the revisions.

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

Canadian tourism plummets amid hostility from Trump -- 28% fewer Canadians have crossed the US border by car this year than by this point in 2024. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

WASHINGTON (AP) - US inflation accelerated last month to highest level since February.

25 year ago the United States had about 40 journalists per 100,000 residents on average. Now, the equivalent number is 8.2 Local Journalist Equivalents, about a 75% decline. Which is great for corruption (and also in keeping people uninformed)

Congrats everyone, we now have 35% tariffs on Canada for no apparent reason

Several bathrooms up Utah County’s canyons are closed because they’ve reached capacity and the Forest Service is unable to pump the toilets.

The difference in the travel/tourism bottom line between 2024 and 2025 is going to be a sight to see. Not a pretty one though.

Holding an event on the scale of the #2028 #OlympicGames, scheduled for #LosAngeles, takes a massive amount of planning including federal-state coordination. Three years isn't that far away and it's hard to envision that happening at this point.

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

Wow. Kilmar Abrego Garcia returning to U.S. despite numerous declarations that this would never happen.

Oh.

Aaron Rodgers quarterbacking Mike Tomlin's first losing season is an incredibly funny and reaslistic outcome

German Chancellor: "May I remind you that we are having June 6 tomorrow. This is the D-Day anniversary." Trump: "Not a pleasant day for you. That was not a great day." German Chancellor: "This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship."

(Reuters) - Staff of the Federal Emergency Management Agency were left baffled on Monday after the head of the U.S. disaster agency said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a hurricane season, according to four sources .. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/fem...

Biden reacted differently when Trump got shot.

The @rollingstone.com hed is a little more direct than the @nytimes.com. 🤡 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

imagine if at a town hall about inflation kamala harris had said "well you can't take it with you when you die"

"We all are going to die." A true statement but not something politicians usually say when asked about cutting health care benefits.

I am being flooded with news releases concerning comments Sen. Joni Ernst made at a town hall and I do not cover politics.

The Trump folks obviously knew and this is, in fact, important for the public to know, given Musk’s deleterious impact on so many. Kudos to @kirstengrind.bsky.social and Megan Twomey for having the guts to report out yet another condition that is in plain sight. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

There’s your empty shelf. US goods imports drop 19.8% in April — largest on record

Ten years ago today, #Beau #Biden passed away from a #glioblastoma, which he may have acquired from the burn pits in #Iraq. It's mind-blowing to think about how many things would be different had he not lost his health and subsequently his life.

Musk is supposed to have a press conference today with the president. Interesting to see if it still happens

The @nytimes.com which is on target lately has a blockbuster this morning on #elonmusk. The theme is drug use.
