This is a story about an economy getting throttled by one man and his capricious, destructive governance. And you see it across pretty much every indicator. Job growth way down. Unemployment slowly drifting up. And wage growth slowing.

AOC: We all saw the performance Bondi had. She was screaming and crashing, and I think it’s because she knows she is implicated in a massive cover-up to protect a ring of pedophiles through:

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Politicians must refer to the current federal control as the Trump Regime, it s not an administration. Pound it into the public psyche.

Dignified, respected, respectful, loved, noble, composed, intelligent, caring.

No drama and no scandals, just two hard working men who did the work required of them.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from yesterday’s Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine.

George Soros and Muslims are not on the Epstein files.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist.

Cool.

FDA won’t review Moderna application for first mRNA-based flu vaccine

The decision, which shocked company officials, comes as the FDA says it will take a stricter approach to federal vaccine approvals.

Steve Bannon, Trump’s confidante & henchman, had an intimate relationship w/Epstein. So why hasn’t he been hauled before Congress to answer questions?

My latest: Bannon’s communications w/Epstein, legal efforts to hide them, & Bannon’s hours of Epstein video he's hiding.

Trump often talks of a 'third term' in office and now of 'taking over' the election process from states. He has turned ICE into a personal paramilitary force. ICE just spent half a billion $ buying warehouses to convert into 'detention camps'. Is this how US democracy dies ? (cartoon Dave Granlund)
