Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Posted this a few years ago, but given current SNAP benefits cuts in the US, and overall economic insecurity, it sadly seems more timely than ever. Happy #Thanksgiving and please support your local food banks! www.davesink.com/ink-blog/oak...

Met @jasonfriedmanil.bsky.social who was making the rounds in River Forest, IL this morning. Seems like a smart guy and a worthy candidate to succeed the retiring Rep. Danny Davis. Looking forward to hearing more from him in the coming months. #congress #illinoispolitics

A must-read summary of what the Trump administration has single-handedly done to speed up coming climate disasters, not only in the US but globally & how that is ALREADY resulting in insurance company collapses and widening class divisions. True ignorance & evil.

Tricia McLaughlin, asst sec at the Department of Homeland Security had this to say in response to Pope Leo insisting that Catholic detainees be allowed to receive Holy Communion.

Note to Trish: tough to administer the Sacrament when you’re being pelted with pepper balls and tear gas.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
