From @reuters.com: President Donald Trump's trade war has cost companies more than $34 billion in lost sales and higher costs, according to a Reuters analysis of corporate disclosures, a toll that is expected to rise.

The NYTimes article frustrated me because while aesthetics are subjective, the real issue with the house is it doesn’t add infill density to an area that sorely needs it. If I had to guess, I’d say the house will not sell and they may have to split it into 2 condos.

But there isn’t enough reasonable variety of homes of different sizes available in this area. The corner would be better served (and also arguably more profitable for the developer) if they had put condos or luxury rentals there for more people. As proof the house has already had a major price cut.

I am a staunch free speech supporter. But after ten years of freaking out about woke students deplatforming right-wing speakers, I don't have the energy to pivot to criticizing a fascist president for launching an all-out attack on free expression at universities.

The issue here is that this is a very desirable corner with enough square footage space for 6-8 apartments that would sell or rent quickly, but instead they built a $5 mansion that has sat unsold for weeks.

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

Stop taking this administration at its word

This is revisionist history because when Democrats try to shape media attention to policy, the media largely ignores is. In 2022, major outlets chose not to air a major Biden speech on democracy. You mean to say the next Dem nominee must do more to make journalists feel important which sadly is true

Lol my dude @daveweigel.bsky.social Biden gave entire addresses the media refused to air. When he did give press conferences, journalists like yourselves wasted time asking him about Trump. You are addicted to him.

The article describes the DeSantises as having a priority to cut programs for the poor, then claim they are reducing govt spending while taking that money for themselves, their own campaigns and their rich friends’ companies. That should sound familiar as it’s the same DOGE, Trump playbook.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen.

Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

What’s the significance of starting at 2009?

The author of this piece is an American photo journalist who has been embedded in El Salvador. Reading this piece is frightening and it should be. It's who we are in danger of becoming. time.com/7269604/el-s...

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

The administration is flagrantly violating Article I and Article III of the constitution on an hourly basis now. Whatever you want to call the system of government that represents, it's neither "democracy" nor a "constitutional republic."

BREAKING: The head of the $42 billion federal BEAD program that aims to bring broadband internet to rural and unserved areas has left the Commerce Dept.

He sent a departing email warning of "deeply negative outcomes" for people if the Trump admin shifts $$ from fiber internet to Musk's Starlink:

Serena Williams easily on that list. Won major tournaments / reached Grand Slam finals across 4 decades. Her career head-to-head record against other top players she supposedly had “rivalries” with is the most lopsided in the entire sport.

Schumer's whole plan, in his words, is "I am focused on bringing Trump’s numbers down, his popularity down, exposing what he has done to America and what he will do," but when asked about specifics like Columbia & Khalil, he leaps to Trump's defense while admitting he doesn't even know the details.

Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is doing a national town hall tour.

On Saturday he stopped in Omaha, Nebraska, where the crowd was thrilled to welcome him.

Gov. Walz was happy and excited to meet with voters, but noted Republican U.S. Rep. Don Bacon’s failure to face his…

"dei medal" you might as well just put "n*gger medal" because that's what they mean to say

Do us all a favor, America. Next time, don’t stay home. Get your ass to the polls and make sure your family and friends do too. That’s what Black folks do.
