Scalise: "Everybody complains, 'Why when I watch TV do I see this Gecko lizard & emu & all these animals out there selling car insurance & homeowners insurance? Why aren't they selling healthcare?' That's bc federal laws prohibit people to have choices for lower cost products for health insurance"

there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

Greg Bonino's job is to create a fog of violence and lies to create an excuse for the dictator to invoke the Insurrection Act, so people like you and me can be shot.
This is a thread detailing a series of incidents where federal Judge Ellis rules that Gregory Bovino and his agents lied or misrepresented what was happening on the streets of Chicago. In this one, she says body cam footage suggests they brake checked to cause accidents

Per @jenniferjjacobs.bsky.social, DOD presented Trump with plans for strikes in Venezuela yesterday, including on the ground. Astonishing to see the U.S. on the brink of another regime-change invasion with essentially none of the pre-2003 effort to rationalize it domestically and internationally.

Space X billionaire fanboy Jared Isaacman, back as Trump's NASA nominee, has a secret plan to demolish the agency and turn it into a slush fund for Space X and other private aerospace contractors:
A confidential manifesto lays out Isaacman's sweeping new vision for NASA
The former, and possibly future, nominee for the space agency said he did not intend for the document’s public release.
