"You're paying more, but you're really not. But we were going to cut these tariffs that you were absolutely were not paying for because prices increased, but not because of the tariffs that you definitely weren't paying and were for your own good."
Lutnick on Trump removing tariffs from coffee, fruits, etc: "What you're gonna watch is the president focus on the small things that touch Americans' pocketbook and he's gonna bring them all down. He's gonna use the power of what he's created to bring these prices down."

The bar for this President, and Republicans in general, simply does not exist.
Weird. Nothing on the @nytimes.com homepage about the President of the United States calling for the execution of members of the opposition in response to their political speech.
Important: House Dem leaders just said Trump's call for execution of Dems has prompted them to contact US Capitol Police and House Sergeant at Arms to "ensure the safety of these members and their families."
Treat Trump like an unhinged menace. He's weak and in deep political trouble. Don't let up.

What I find amazing is the lack of discussion around what a disaster for farmers tariffs were in the first Trump administration. Collectively, people seem to have memory-holed the fact that farmers were bailed-out during the first administration because of the tariffs.
This is not new territory.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: "There is no doubt that the farm economy, for a lot of reasons, is really really struggling right now ... we'll soon be announcing a potential bridge payment for those who are still facing loses. The biggest culprit isn't the tariffs renegotiations."

Somehow or other we've elevated folks utterly lacking in both pride and dignity to our highest offices.
Meuser: "We have some great things happening in our economy. This whole inflation debate -- when Reagan came in, he took 2, 3 years to start bringing down inflation with high interest rates. The president has corrected inflation just in 4, 5, 6, 8 months."

They're using "talent" loosely.
The astronomical pay deal shows the light years to which firms will go in order to retain talent. It also highlights the potentially cataclysmic risk, as businesses see it, of talent loss econ.st/4nXT9Fl

The administration is basically a Nazi employment program.
EXCLUSIVE: Paul Ingrassia says he is moving to a new job within the administration.
The conservative activist withdrew his nomination to oversee a govt. watchdog agency last month after POLITICO reported he made racist comments in a group chat.

He is digging around again -- not clear if its another book/or expanded paperback version. Was asking me all sorts of questions about why you hired Ken Starr. I told him I had no idea - I think he is doing some Trump-related digging too.

I'm kind of surprised the WH didn't pressure Johnson to delay swearing Grijalva in.
I suppose they could have, and he stood his ground, which would also be surprising.

The sum total of JD Vance's career is a little over a year as a Senator and about a decade as Peter Thiel's sugar baby. He also ran 2 failed charities in Ohio.

In the last 40 days it apparently did not occur to anyone in the White House that the end of the shutdown would force Johnson to swear in Congresswoman Grijalva and thereby force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.
TRUMP IS SPIRALING
Trump once again calls Epstein's child sex trafficking ring the "Jeffrey Epstein Hoax" and tells Republicans to focus on other things instead.

Have we ever had a President and a VP who both lacked a sense of humor?
JD Vance: "I don't know if you saw this media circulating on social media, but the president met the president of Syria, al-Sharaa, in the Oval Office a couple of days ago, and he asked him, 'How many wives do you have?' Heh heh heh heh heh! Haaaaaa! Amazing comedic timing."
