Trump wants a $250 bill with his face on it youtube.com/shorts/QLRRu...

Cornyn could have stood up to Trump, gotten crushed in the primary, and rode off into the deeply principled sunset to the acclaim of plenty of people; I would’ve been one of them. Instead, he chose this.

Oh. My. God. This is despicable.

Translating: The Trump administration is considering settling a lawsuit that Trump filed against the Trump administration (to get a huge payout straight out o from US coffers).

So you're telling me that cutting tariffs leads to lower prices? Fascinating.

@benmckenzie.bsky.social 's 'Everyone is Lying to You for Money' is screening at the US Capitol tomorrow (5/12). Every Senator and staffer on the Banking Committee should be forced to watch it before they vote the crypto bill Thursday. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEXx...

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran. By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/o...

actual communism

Lemme try to reconcile a strong stock market with a weak economy. The market represents the big incumbents with a line to the White House. As policy tilts toward crony capitalism, they're offered a carveout-for-compliments deal. Main Street gets no such deal. Result—Weak economy yet strong stonks

There’s a lot of dog wagging going on today. m.imdb.com/title/tt0120...

Two facts worth considering: 1. The Fed is projecting GDP growth of 1.4% this year 2. Nearly every time growth has slowed to this rate, the economy stalls, and a recession follows

To the Democratic Party: Make understanding of US monetary operations described below by @stephaniekelton.bsky.social as the mandatory cornerstone of its economic foundation, including a job guarantee, to create a Project 2029 blueprint to take back our democracy.

An independent evaluation of who gets what from the Republican tax bill just dropped, and wow. This chart shows only the tax cut side of things, and they only find the rich. The spending cuts, which are separate, somehow only find the poor.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

It was a beautiful day for pedaling in Palo Duro State park with a bit of a tiny climb.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Ronny Jackson is our Official Representative in the US Congress. He’s too busy and important to hold a town hall. So Beto @betoorourke.bsky.social did it instead. #Amarillo
