SCOTUS acts like there won't be a Democratic president in a few yrs...SCOTUS allows Trump to fire Democratic member of trade commission - They will also hear arguments about overturning a 90-yr-old precedent that allowed Congress to create independent agencies www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

GOLDMAN: “.. During the last 40 years, there have been eight episodes where the Fed cut after being on hold for 6 or more months. In half of those episodes the economy subsequently entered recession.”

“.. He thinks this is more like the early part of 1929 when stocks added significantly to their Roaring ’20s gains.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

WSJ: "Cardboard-box demand is slumping .. to the lowest levels since 2016. On a per-capita basis, the drop is even sharper, with box shipments per American down more than 20% from their 1999 peak." @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/car...

We've gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to "4 deals no one really believes".

From @hcrichardson.bsky.social: "the U.S. Dept of Agriculture is ending its annual report on household food security." An expert who explains that this is troubling because inflation is up & the job market is unstable, both of which increase food insecurity. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Ok for the 100th time. Democrats need to instead be reminding America they have NO POWER and this is entirely on the GOP to fund govt. entirely. If they need dem help then ok but there will be a cost. Is anyone over there any good at messaging?

Angus: Trump, says lumber from Canadian mills represents a national security threat. You’d use that language about buddy going down to the Home Depot in Arkansas to buy some 2x4s?

Probably a coincidence that Hegseth puts out a new edict restricting Pentagon reporters from gathering military info and reporting it right as the Trump admin launches their campaign to start blowing up boats.

Ka$h pledges to have the FBI devote unlimited resources to investigate every right-wing conspiracy on the internet related to the Kirk shooting.

Sounds like the US is about to bail out Trump’s pal Javier Milei. ‘America First’ always has lots of exceptions.

Rep. Jim Himes tells it like it is--on Trump's illegal boat strikes, Pentagon gag orders on the press, and how fear keeps Republicans silent as America moves toward authoritarianism. A lively if sobering conversation. www.youtube.com/live/M7n8gcK...

they get mad when you quote Charlie Kirk. they get mad when you don't quote Charlie Kirk. they are mad at the sum total of human knowledge.

"Democrats should apply all the pressure they can. This is both a real case of corruption and coverup, and a colorful one. As Cava says in its ads, 'You shouldn't have to choose substance over flavor.' This scandal has both." www.thebulwark.com/p/a-scandal-...

“When historians look back on this moment in American history, the date that may stand out to them is . . . Sept. 15, when [VP Vance] promised that the federal government would use the assassination [of Charlie Kirk] to begin cracking down on leftist organizations.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/o...

First Colbert, now Kimmel, and Trump says Fallon and Meyers are next. We now join the ranks of Russia, Nazi Germany, and North Korea—places that persecute comedians and media personalities for dissent. We won't back down. Make a contribution and join us: https://t.co/7rjiOaij8i

Farmer speaks out at GOP Rep. Alford's Town Hall: “Trump is not helping the farmer. When are you gonna stand up for us instead of kissing his ass for these trade deals?"

“.. US Attorneys around the country must ask themselves whether they are willing to become just another instrument of political power. .. Each must be prepared to resign rather than baselessly punishing the president’s enemies ..” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

As Trump and his goons strip Americans of our constitutional rights, the silence of the nation’s leadership class is deafening. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/america-without-a-leadership-class

“Charlie Chaplin was willing to mock Hitler. Colbert and Kimmel were willing to mock an American president with his own authoritarian designs. What will the rest of us be willing to do in order to stand up to fascism?” Al Franken writes. Commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The US attorney in Maryland, Kelly Hayes, is now telling people she's bracing for pressure to bring charges against Adam Schiff. But she also won't do so if the facts don't warrant it, NYT reports. More evidence that Trump's corruption is running into deep institutional resistance (see below).

Two of the top officials tied to the Epstein case—Kash Patel & Alex Acosta—admit they never reviewed survivors’ testimonies. Justice was never the point.

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

Someone at some point will figure out when exactly this happened… but we have completely normalized psychosis. Trump. Stephen Miller. Speeches that were completely unhinged from reality. Delusional. Psychotically paranoid.

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
