They’re telling you…
That prices are down, while all your bills are going up.
That tariffs don’t raise prices, but now they’re lowering tariffs for some items in order to…wait for it…reduce prices.
That they don’t have money for SNAP or healthcare, while they send $40B to Argentina.

Can’t do regime change with the forces the US has positioned near Venezuela. Lacks the occupation force to install a new regime.
Can’t dismantle narcotics organizations either.
(And for the conspiracy theorists — can’t steal oil either.)
But can do a bunch of bombing and regime destabilization.

CBS has fallen so far from it's legacy. But give CBS News credit when they present a report that are in the Murrow spirit. I'm pointing to CBS Sunday Morning with a report on the working homeless by Ted Koppel. The economy is structured to take advantage of the poor. Video is linked in reply.

Trump can release all of the Epstein files/victim interviews/sex videos/proof now!
Trump does not need a vote from Congress to release the Epstein proof.
I want Congress to vote on the release anyway so it boxes in Trump.
OTOH - Look for a new investigation from the DOJ to prevent the release.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

One significant way to fix the federal deficit? Dramatically raise the minimum wage across our country. It will cause an increase in tax collections, much less people on federal assistance, and health outcomes will improve causing less reliance on federal health programs.

The jury thought the case was baloney
The Atlantic speaks with one of the jurors in the case of the man who threw a Subway sandwich at a federal agent.
The juror says that, despite two initial holdouts, it was ultimately pretty easy to acquit: "a clear majority felt it was nonsensical, like, don't waste our time or money."
