Huh, a lack of migrant workers is driving up prices, you say? Hmmmm.
Your health insurance premiums are increasing by +50% because we no longer receive ACA credits, you say? Hmmmm.
A masked, untrained ICE gestapo agent with complete immunity is…
When you list it out like that, it seems even more distressing.
Too bad the MSM is now controlled by Trump's MAGA lovers, or else more people might have a clue. This is escalating and half the country either doesn't care or doesn't understand.…

Bold added:
The Atlantic reported in August that training for ICE officers had been cut to just 47 days: "Academy training was shortened to 47 days, three officials told…
When Mr. Powell’s term as chair ends in May, he could stay on as a governor — and one of 12 voters on monetary policy — through January 2028. With threats intensifying, the case for his continued presence as a quiet but firm defender of Fed independ…
Maybe mutiny is in the cards? Once a few step into the breech, many rats may follow.
This is the inevitable ending for a lame duck prez who is destroying his own party in addition to the entire country. The GOP will save themselves and bury hi…
Hatred can make people irrational. Hatred and anger can be funneled in the wrong direction - and Trump has done this extremely well.
The MAGA 40% are so angry at the world that losing their own health benefits and their meager retirement benefits …
@larryB - He has a limited window in which to push the Project 2025 agenda, and it is 100% anti-democratic. By November-2026, there may be some actual checks on him from Congress (if elections go as anticipated).
So it will be this full press the …
Kudos to JPOW for calling out the cowards....
In a blistering statement on Sunday, Powell argued he had been threatened with criminal charges because the Fed had set interest rates “based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather …
Attacking our allies - with tariffs and/or threat of war - should make it all better. Right?
The current blitzkrieg consists of threats vs. Iran, Cuba, Mexico, Greenland and Minneapolis, MN. We would steal oil from Venezuela, but Big Oil isn't b…
Whether its 6-3 or 5-4, all decisions have been predetermined. The MAGA fix is in.
Sure, they might throw us a bone once in a while, but the political kowtowing by SCOTUS is pretty much expected and will continue.
They are simply enablers of t…
If the Supreme Court can overturn Roe v. Wade and enable the Trump cartel to run amok, then why should we expect anything good from this motley crew.
US laws and the constitution are being subverted for political purposes. SCOTUS is no longer resp…
There has to be a tipping point. Please God I hope so (and I don't really pray).
His gestapo are looking for any excuse to use their weapons, and the conservatives will lie and gaslight us until it all burns down. Which may well be the intention…
Perhaps, without our realizing it, corruption has become a key component of the US society culture.
Corruption has become acceptable to MAGA, at least. The rest of us have to hold the line.
How is it that only 1% of the Epstein files have been released - Pam Bondi too busy sucking up to her master to blacken out the remaining 99% ?
He belongs in a jail cell for pedophilia, trafficking underage girls and homicide (Epstein did not ha…
The only way I'd be ok with this is if it meant the end of the current regime. It's the kind of move that is indefensible at any level.
It would crush the entire GOP. One for the history books (under "Elect a loser twice, and this is what you …
Krugman today
// I’m not going to talk today about how we got here and strategies for getting out. All I want to do right now is to say that we should be clear about what is happening. American fascism is on the march, and anyone who balks at sayi…
This is terrible. When this madman is finally toppled, I would hope that much of the govt funding can be restored. It will come too late for many channels to survive, but others will spring up.
Worst administration ever. Period.
The MSM, often run by Trump billionaires and loyalists, took the bait and are running with it. Even the left leaning media is fixated.
"Look over here, not over there" - and they nod.
Hmmmm, weren't the rest of the Epstein files due this past week?
Golly, talk about questionable timing.....we are being duped by the con man once again.
Somebody once pointed out that he runs the country like it's a "reality" TV show, as he ju…
