“Which specific countries have been in talks with the US about stepping up beef imports?” Brooke Rollins: “I am not privy to talk about that.” She’s the Secretary of Agriculture, it’s her job to know this. Courtesy of @atrupar.com

This is a tacit admission that tariffs are paid by consumers That part that amuses me though is the president’s assertion that this 90 day window will all ranchers to “grow their herds” given that the gestation period of a cow is 9 months and 10 days. The herds ain’t growing any larger in 3 months

90 day discount on beef—does nothing to address the problem. Clown economics.

Well, thank goodness they kept this information to themselves for five years so that he could go on to continue those business practices from the White House. Great job, Capital One.

All the greatest hits.

On the one hand, this is stunningly stupid. On the other hand, I get it. I mean, I feel like the last year has been a few thousand years.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Folarin Balogun, who is a US citizen because he was born here, scores a go-ahead goal for the US team in a knockout game. Score one for birthright citizenship.

We’ve all seen the 14 point agreement now. I’ll should be waiting for the howls of dismay from MAGA; but we all know it’s a cult of personality. So they will either be silent (hopefully) or find a way to praise this colossal waste of lives, money, and dignity as some kind of great achievement.

@theresthistory.bsky.social I couldn’t help noticing that while the Athenians were fighting Liberty, Democracy and all that is good it was still their slaves that carried the armor to the battle of Marathon… Perhaps a bit of victors writing history? Or am I making too much of that?

It's 1105 and it looked like the apocalypse out there. Churches were being burned, villages were bieng pillaged, and dudes were walking around with long hair and beards. And Bishop Serlo wasn't having it.

Ken Paxton’s own party impeached him. His own staff reported him to the FBI. Now his own defense attorney is endorsing our campaign. Those closest to Ken Paxton know he's unfit for office.

Let me get right to the point. The Senate should not confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general. Here's why: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-senate-should-not-confirm-this

The most corrupt president in the history of our country.

I will never ever understand.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

NEW: The judge has weighed in on the $1.7 slush fund. I promised an update when she did. Please share widely.

Yup this is just bloody wrong, in what universe is it OK not to notify voters that their districts have changed?

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.
