This is from yesterday: “Tariffs can change very quickly, and therefore we don’t make an investment in the US based on a tariff.”

An exception you can, uh, drive a truck through, if it’s as general and loosely defined as the global dipshit says

Prices are rising.
Unemployment is going up.
The cost of living is soaring.   And what’s Trump focused on? Providing a $20 billion bailout to his authoritarian buddy in Argentina. What a disgrace.

Not even 20 minutes later and I guess we’re doing 50% tariffs on IKEA for some reason. He’s a man with a plan to make life more expensive and he can’t be stopped.

Every day, Trump wakes up and thinks “what product should I make arbitrarily more expensive today?” Truck tariffs means drivers pay billions more for vehicles, companies/consumers pay more for shipping, & the benefits to truckmakers get outweighed by costs to other manufacturers

It’s really bonkers that someone would indict the guy who absolutely swung him the election. Only a person who is so thinned skinned that expects a loyalty pledge from career civil servants and can’t take unimportant criticism goes to these lengths. What a pathetic little person he is

This is a 'small' lignite mine on the former GDR border, the scar is so deep and wide. With it's own cloud ceiling in the morning. 150Mt CO2 emitted and it still emits by sitting there with exposed, once sequestered carbon. Burning stuff is the past. Don't live in the past.

Hakeem has been consistently underwhelming but this is actually good messaging

This isn’t an ultimatum. It’s political suicide for the morons in the WH and fasch party. There’s no point in negotiating with treasonous terrorists www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/u...

This is coming from an R no less

This is illegal fwiw

THE ONLY REASON THEY HAVE TO BE BAILED OUT IS BECAUSE YOU PUT INFINITY PERCENT TARIFFS ON CHINA AND THEY RETALIATED I AM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND

Really tells you the gravity of this unnecessary crisis. This was an easy Shadow Docket case, yet the traitors on SCOTUS hold greater allegiance to unconstitutional authoritarianism than the rule of law

This is hugely thought-provoking, on many levels. I’d love to see one for Seattle. One thing it really puts into relief: bus speed is both super difficult and critical to enabling citywide growth when rail is hard to build. Our electeds MUST understand & care about buses for our cities to succeed.

So glad Slow Horses is back!!!

Replayed Kimmel. He had a very good monologue

It’s good that Dems want to weigh in on this and used this as a wedge issue, but they need to really improve their comms/messaging methods for this and really need to hit on ALL the illiterate economic decisions from the WH

This is an exceptionally good thing. It should not be a priority to electrify public transit buses anywhere in the US, particularly if it electrification isn’t ETBs. The priority should be butts in seats, increasing frequency/span of service/coverage, and purchasing more regular buses for operations

No shit, Sherlock. Just like the tariffs are disproportionately damaging and culling small businesses, particularly startups. The fool is killing prosperity for no reason at all

Listen to the Mayor of London describe why he wants to pedestrianize Oxford Street.

You guys, the proposed Metro budget invests in TROLLEYBUSES!

Gonna watch Jimmy Kimmel on Disney+ tomorrow

Kimmel: "Disney has asked me to read the following statement and I agreed to do it. 'To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account ... '"

Yet another excessively dumb poast that will be used as evidence of blackmail corruption and explicit lies against him. Congress has an obligation to prosecute the global moron, remove him from power, and direct the Justice Department to try him for his High Crimes

It’s easy to call KOMO to tell them you’ll stop watching and call their advertisers to dump them Call this number and leave a comment on their General line: 206.404.4000

The things that get me about this episode is that their ideological hatred of civil servants and technocrats leads them to torch obviously-valuable research, and what’s even dumber is that they believe poverty, joblessness, etc will not exist if it is not measured

😂

You don’t say! More prosperity for all in other countries, less for the US

Port of Seattle Commission members are onward to Quebec City, Kobe, and Geneva this fall scctv-portals-pos.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/...

Wow! en.traicy.com/posts/202509...

TikTok trading hands from one authoritarian, anti-democracy national security threat to another one was so predictable! Europe has every reason to immediately ban it, including active firewall blocking it. So glad I didn’t use that spyware, misinformation social media

Just got a chance to hear Michelle Caldier and wow is she deeply unhinged 😂 I can see why she didn’t want to talk about how hardcore she is for the global moron

Thanks to Mark for this iconic memorabilia

The people in the WH remain undefeated as the dumbest people on the planet

Absolutely zero businesses with visa holders were, in any shape or form, okay with the economically-killing action

Step 1: Cut funding for food stamps Step 2: Stop measuring hunger Step 3: There's no evidence cuts to food stamps led to a rise in hunger www.wsj.com/economy/trum...

TIL that Philadelphia picks up trash from single-family houses and condos/co-ops for free, while charging rental properties for the same service, even though multifam collection is way more efficient codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/philad... (via @danieltrubman.bsky.social)

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

Driving a company into decline due to communist interventions is one hell of a choice that won’t pay out well in the end

Long-term bond holders aren’t budging and are demanding higher interest rates because they think inflation will remain unchecked

Gupta: The impacts of this—H-1B visas—are going to show up once Trump is out of office. If fewer people are able to take those jobs, what happens? We’re just not going to have enough people to meet the demand for medical services.. And the irony here is it’ll probably impact red states more

This may be the single most anti-economic growth action on immigration ever in US history www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

Weird day that Cruz is channelling nearly a normal position

Inflation to the moon and exodus from the bond markets in 5, 4, 3, 2… It would be nice if these fools would stop being ideological terrorists

Another R who is friend of the Bolsheviks and Brownshirts

We're bringing the "150% tariffs on China" policy into the immigration world

Miran: “Up is actually down, the sky is green, water is dry”

DBE is dead, but governments that maintain it have an extremely high chance of having their projects defunded on the horizon, but obviously only if they are in states that didn’t vote for the authoritarian rapist traitor felon highways.dot.gov/newsroom/fsk...

Colbert and Kimmel are guaranteed Catholic Saints

Recalling a local Seattle state legislator brushing off this as a problem. To be clear, fare evasion is also a problem. Two things can be true and they should both be dealt with at the appropriate levels because they have serious financial consequences in capacity to deliver services and expansion
