As usual Prof Wolfers provides a clear and concise assessment of the damage being done by Trump and the implications of these policy failures. The impact of failed Trump policies (political and economic) will cause consequential long term damage to alliances, health and wellness and innovation.

A very interesting (and ominous) article. Bonus, it also explains how that nuclear scientist at MIT who the Brown University shooter also murdered is tied into all of this.

The President said some words last night about the economy. I'll help you figure out which ones were true. youtu.be/xtHjvS9yv5g

Maria Shriver, niece of JFK: He was a man interested in the arts, culture, education, language, history... It is beyond comprehension that the president has sought to rename this great memorial. C’mon my fellow Americans! Wake up! This is not dignified. This is not funny... It’s downright weird.

Trump is about to sell us out to our most sinister enemy

Is DOJ planning to define Christian beliefs in order to charge Charlie Kirk’s killer with a hate crime? Are we OK with that? Join the discussion on Substack: substack.com/@thefrankfig...

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

RFK jr (and Trump and Republicans in general) are to blame for the needless spread of measels. Once eradicated in the US measels threatens to become an epidemic as hilodays approach. Hundreds quarantined as South Carolina measles outbreak accelerates www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Every day we fall further behind on just about every important measure. Now, due to Trump's love of fossil fuels and hatred of renewal energy China is the world leader in clean energy production - renewable energy at half the cost of energy costs in the US. www.wsj.com/tech/china-a...

This is not surprising. I imagine they came to this conclusion about 10 months ago. Trump is a global menace and free nations are collaborating to control the danger he represents. Russia, Saudi Arabia and a few other countries are working to align with trump to build an axis of global evil

Trump created a problem that cost famers $40b in trade with China and resulted in many farm bankruptcies. Now he will give farmers $12b in subsidies to compensate for their losses. Sounds like he's using taxpayers money to buy votes for himself. wapo.st/44bxe6G

That’s Trump’s goal. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Hahaha!

Thank you Senator Kelly! The Americans that believe that the US constitution makes this the greatest country in the world are behind you 100%! We will not back down - we will not shut up! Home of the free and land of the brave!

Trump has issued 1500+ pardons and counting…a who’s who of drug kingpins, crypto scammers, violent insurrectionists, terrorism financiers & corrupt politicians. In Trump’s oligarchy, the rich and powerful can pay their way to reside above the law.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him. So there’s that, too.

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

When Mark Kelly spoke to the troops, he wasn’t talking politics. He was reinforcing the pillars of a free country.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Removing the entire cabinet is a requirement to flush the corruption and ineptitude from the executive branch. Then we can work on Congress

Trump's failure to grasp 'math' makes his latest proposal 'very unlikely' to pass: report

People around trump just die - Ivana, Epstein are two examples. Kind of like how it goes in Russia. People have "accidents"

'Game over': Observers blast 'pathetic' GOP Senator for 'covering up' Epstein crimes

Every MAGA crook is seeking reparations for being prosecuted for their crimes. In this case Flynn was tried and plead guilty. Now he claims he was harmed by being prosecuted. Should we expect every convict to seek similar compensation or only the MAGAs? #flynn www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

When faced with the release of the Epstein files, Trump attempts to shift the focus to other parties that the DoJ as previously declined to investigate further. This is another more than another Trump smokescreen. An innocent man would not be worried. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump made a problem and after economic damage has been done is reversing his very bad tariff policy for some products. He'll likely claim victory while blaming you know who.... #trump #tariffs #tradepolicy #moronpresident www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

That gaudy, grotesque place that used to be the Oval Office of which we could be proud? He's only temporarily using that space that we the people own. Let's not let him convince us otherwise. Like any bad tenant, once he’s evicted we can remove the junk left behind.

Trump's campaign of lies continues. Will MAGA voters and Republicans in Congress call him out on this? #economy #trump #lies #inflation www.cnn.com/2025/11/10/p...

Trump has a career as a failed real estate investor, but that has never stopped him from claiming hyperbolic success. The myth of his business acumen is the result of his ability to lie about everything - and have ppl believe his lies. Congress won't challenge his lies and MAGA voters don't care.

Brace yourself for higher pasta prices thanks to TACO Don! As Italian pasta producers exit the US market other producers will charge more. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Temporary residents of historically important buildings should have absolutely no right to do anything to the building, other than repairs, ever. You are President for 4-8 years only, the White House is not your property, it is iconic, it is history, you will be forgotten in time, thank god.

The man should be in prison. But sure, let's pay him a quarter of a billion for being a criminal.
