The consumer price index was unchanged in December, and the inflation rate for some consumer staples like food and electricity remains elevated.

'Really?' Piers Morgan slaps down MAGA lawyer's justification for mom's killing by ICE

A Seoul court says an independent counsel has demanded a death sentence for former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on rebellion charges in connection with his short-lived imposition of martial law in December 2024.

“Food inflation broadly has been a thorn in Americans’ sides for years — especially for people living paycheck to paycheck. And that’s something policymakers must keep an eye on, even if the broader data looks somewhat encouraging.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Onion ass title

2/2 To be clear: -I had an early account there, w large audience. (250k+) Have maintained the account *so it can't be hijacked.* -Have not posted since Nov 2024. Will not ever again, under Musk. -Check it every so often, as monitor of ever-rising Nazi, bot-porn, and general-racist tone.

You failed to mention that she's married to the US Senator Dave McCormick, and that her appointment is a clear conflict of interest.

AIPAC spends hundreds of millions buying primaries across the country. Now they’re trying to buy mine.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

In my feed this post is literally adjacent to a post about Grok's role in creating and spreading fake porn using images of real people.

I always figured humanity would be wiped out by a racist robot.

The “AI” that brought you MechaHitler and CSAM on demand is being integrated into military networks.

I absolutely love me an uber-outraged, unapologetic @timmiller.bsky.social vid. It’s this sort of unalloyed, straight talking content about the evils and dangers of the Trump regime that makes my @thebulwark.com subscription worth every cent.

Time to throw some non tainted dollars Kat’s way.

"Once central banks lose their independence and are forced to help governments finance deficits, that's always a precondition for high and even hyperinflation," said former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen. https://to.pbs.org/4qCfD0V

The “US kill line” has become shorthand for what, supposedly, is wrong with America and right with China—and it has been more successful than most state propaganda in achieving its aim

voteinorout Rep. Don Beyer has accused Donald Trump of being "the most corrupt president in American history," highlighting Trump's alleged use of the White House for personal gain. Beyer claims Trump's crypto ventures have generated over $800 million, doubling Trump's net worth.

Minutes after Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-IA, claimed in a telephone town hall that "we delivered ... no tax on Social Security," a caller says she's wrong – the tax on Social Security remains. The Republican concedes the point. Too bad the caller didn't ask her why she lied in the first place.

In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.” This video belongs to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social and I’ll take it down if they want me to. 2/2

Kristi Noem On Renée Good Murder: ‘We Will Find The Immigrant Who Did This’

Would be useful for stories like this to point out, among her political ties, that her husband is the *GOP Senator from Pennsylvania.* (Beat Bob Casey by 0.2% in 2024.) Not even mentioned in CNBC dispatch.

From globalization to neoliberalism, Iraq to Gaza, Thomas Friedman has left a trail of wrong, bad opinions. The New York Times is paying him (handsomely) to keep at it. Belén Fernández looks back on his career.

“It has been widely reported that the United States intends to use this data to build an unauthorized national voter database and to target voters for potential challenges and disenfranchisement,” according to the Jan. 9 filing. thetriibe.com/2026/01/illi...

NEW — Last week, voting rights groups and three Illinois residents filed a motion to intervene to block the Trump administration from forcing the state to provide highly sensitive voter data. thetriibe.com/2026/01/illi...

A masked federal immigration officer killed Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother and poet, shooting her at point-blank range in her car. The incident is far from the first time immigration officers have shot someone in recent months.

St. Clair has not specifically indicated that her child would begin a gender transition.

Powell's rare video response allowed him to take control of the narrative — and shows he's willing to make a stand on certain issues.

Candlelight service in memory of Renee Nicole Good in Anchorage tonight.

We just had a week that changed everything, including my view of impeachment. Before: Wait until 2027. Now: Embrace it in 2026 and hold hearing-like forums to spotlight the many articles of impeachment filed against Trump and his cabinet. My latest @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/embracing-...

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

The @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social of 25 years ago, and the me of that same era, would be equally incredulous if told that we'd be on the same side of the major battle-for-democracy in the 2020s.

2/2 Apart from obvious reasons, an underappreciated one: -All developed economies (every one) see birth-rates falling, as average income goes up. -Euro countries, Japan, S Korea, + China & Russia have steeply aging population. -US different *only* because of immigration. You can look it up.

Who could possibly have foreseen this? /s (Answer: Anyone whose knowledge of immigration-and-economics, especially through US history, extends beyond Jean Raspail's "Camp of the Saints.")

No decent person or organization should be on Xitter any more.

An example of when law enforcement is really unlawful enforcement. When a bad cop manufactures offense to justify getting his rocks off by killing somebody. 😠

🔥 Most media keep avoiding the key legal truth: ICE’s killing of Renee Nicole Good violated the Supreme Court’s deadly-force standard. Here’s the truth 👇 bsky.app/profile/that...

UPDATE: What We Know About the Minneapolis ICE Shooting

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

More proof that traditional media is out of touch: The level of pearl clutching over Mayor Jacob Frey dropping a well-deserved f-bomb versus the outrage over the murder of Renee Nicole Good

This is a corrupt, politically motivated attack on the Federal Reserve. The strict independence of the Fed has been paramount to the stability of the global economy for over a century, which will collapse if Trump moves to seize control of it.

"Bill Maher, you give us so much. Try less." Wanda Sykes legend #GoldenGlobes

Saying the officer who committed murder is a murderer is dangerous, but it's OK to claim that his victim was a domestic terrorist who literally ran him over.

Not sure how you can rationalize still maintaining a regular presence over there!

"It wasn't murder, and if you say it was murder we will kill you, which again will not be murder."
