Worked in the movie biz for many years. Politically progressive. Cranky. Judgmental. This does not make me wrong. I’m an Oscar voter, too. And I review theater and dance for politicsmoneyculture.com. After Trump's election I say, Don’t get mad. Get even.

My take as a Californian is that we, the world’s fifth largest economy, should refuse to do any business with red states. They need our technology, agriculture, and ports more than we need anything from them. They vilify us, vote against our views, then take our money. To hell with them.

Himes: "This shows Steve Witkoff almost literally sitting side with the Russians on this ... it's unimaginable to consider the fact that you would propose a peace deal that the Ukrainians didn't even know about."

Let us pray this guy is right about Musk and Tesla.
I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

The death of two national guardsmen is a horrific tragedy.
It is also an orchestrated tragedy by a president hellbent on creating a tinder box environment across the country.

Money talks. Or in this case, kills.
The EPA has approved two new pesticides with "forever chemicals" that will be used on food.
The agency has also announced plans for four additional approvals.
The approved pesticides will be used on vegetables such as romaine lettuce, broccoli and potatoes.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.
Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.
They're selling out their own voters.

Every time I read about Melania in the news I am reminded that the wrong Trump wife got pushed down the stairs.
Trump on the turkeys he's about to pardon: "I shouldn't say this. I was gonna call them Chuck and Nancy. But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people. I wouldn't pardon them. I wouldn't care what Melania told me."

In the Trump administration cruelty is not a handicap.
A new federal directive by Mehmet Oz allows the sharing of Medicaid applicant data with DHS effective immediately, rescinding previous “interagency integrity” firewalls. This forces mixed-status families into an impossible calculus: access life-saving medical care or remain invisible to enforcement.
NEWS: Medicaid Data Now Flows to ICE
Effective today, a new federal directive allows immigration enforcement to access state healthcare enrollment data, TPS ends for thousands of Burmese war refugees, plus Kristi Noem explainer video.

Noem is in contempt. The court should call for her incarceration and require the U.S. Marshall’s to enforce. Performative, perhaps, but still necessary.
New Justice Department filings reveal that it was Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who chose to defy a federal court order by transferring more than 100 Venezuelan men into Salvadoran custody to be imprisoned.

What’s really amazing is that anyone, conservative TV anchors included, would believe a word Trump stooge Kevin Hassett utters.
This is amazing.
As if "trading down" isn't an economic decision.

Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

'An ordinary president, Kelly told us on Tuesday afternoon, would have responded to the video by affirming that troops should of course follow lawful orders. “But not this guy,” he added. “We basically said, ‘Follow the law.’ And he said, ‘Kill them.’”'

This captures the Trump era perfectly: an American operative advising a Kremlin official on how to manipulate the U.S. president through simple flattery.
“Call him a man of peace.”
Our foreign policy isn’t diplomacy anymore, it’s ego management.
And America can’t survive another term of it.👇
