If any other president had pardoned - pardoned! - a man like this, they would have probably been impeached by now. Trump gets away with this kind of gross shit, day after day: nbcnews.com/politics/justi…

That's massively down from 85% before Trump took office. x.com/alosthighway0/…

The data we are getting out of ICE now conclusively destroys their "worst of the worst" narrative. Since the Los Angeles raids began in June last year, there has been a massive expansion of ICE arrests against people with no criminal record, while arrests of others remained flat.

The Pope, who’s spent his entire adult life studying religion, apparently knows less about it than 28 year old Karoline Leavitt

In YouGov polling, we have Donald Trump reaching his lowest point of either terms, which I believe is the first time I've seen that happen in his second term x.com/YouGovAmerica/…

One Year On: The Greatest Economic Own Goal in Living Memory A year ago, Donald Trump stood in the Rose Garden, surrounded by charts nobody understood, and declared war on mathematics. He called it Liberation Day. The Financial Times, along with every economist who has read more than a bus ticket, is marking the anniversary with a verdict that should be carved into marble: it failed. On every single front. Spectacularly. Completely. Embarrassingly. Let us be precise about this. Measured against Trump’s own three stated goals, making foreigners pay for doing business with America, narrowing the trade deficit, and punishing China, the tariffs have clearly failed.  Not partially failed. Not failed with asterisks. Failed the way a man fails when he drives a Reliant Robin onto a motorway and acts surprised when it rolls. And everyone said so. Economists said so. Trading partners said so. His own party said so. The entire field of international trade theory, developed over roughly two centuries by people who actually read things, screamed it from the rooftops. But Donald Trump, a man whose relationship with economics appears to consist entirely of gut feeling and cable television and 6 casino bankruptcies knew better. The average American household paid an extra $1,700 due to tariffs. Over 65 percent of Americans reported that everyday goods became significantly less affordable.  This is what happens when you run the world’s largest economy on instinct and vibes. One year after the Rose Garden ceremony, factory jobs are down and inflation is up.  The precise opposite of what was promised. With extraordinary confidence. Then the lawyers arrived. The Supreme Court found that Trump had exceeded his authority, ruling that the declared emergency bore no rational connection to the trade measures imposed.  In other words, the legal foundation was nonsense. The government had collected $166 billion in tariffs from over 330,000 businesses on grounds the Supreme Court found unconstitutional. The refund process is now underway.  One hundred and sixty-six billion dollars. Collected illegally. From American businesses. The financial markets, bless them, responded with the only appropriate tool available: mockery. The meme “Trump Always Chickens Out” refuses to go away, and the TACO index is now actively used by analysts to price in the president’s chronic habit of retreating.  Every serious voice warned this would happen. Trade economists. Former Treasury secretaries. The IMF. The WTO. The EU. Canada. Japan. Basically anyone who had spent more than forty minutes studying how global trade actually works. The man who ignored all of them had previously run a casino into bankruptcy and considered that a learning experience. He was not, it turns out, a fast learner. One year. Zero of three goals achieved. One Supreme Court ruling. One $170 billion refund. One economy paying more for everything and making less of it. Liberation Day. What a name for it.

Bull. Fucking. Shit. We’re supposed to believe that someone who was in charge of the Department of Homeland Security didn’t know that a man living in her HOME was a cross-dresser?!?

IRAN: Trump doesn’t believe in diplomacy! Hormuz is closed to aggressors. Death to America! BRENT: $120 WALL STREET:

Can't overstate the impact that's coming down the pipeline to truckers, farmers, logistics, and beyond- the U.S. economy runs on diesel with several states setting new all-time highs for diesel, while others are seeing largest monthly increases of all time: AZ +67% NV +58% NC +58% TN +56% LA +56%

You get attacked, NATO comes. You attack someone without asking, you’re on your own. It’s one sentence, Marco. Read it.

Most Americans still haven't realized how the Trump administration has defunded every aspect of criminal law enforcement -- anti-terrorism, drugs, fraud, organized crime, human trafficking, etc. -- to go after immigrants with no criminal records.

MAGA went from “the war is great!” to “it’s Obama’s fault” because of how unpopular it is LMAOOOO

Same president. Same results. Well done, America.

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

BREAKING: Daniel Tocci, a man pardoned by Donald Trump for his actions on Jan. 6, has been sentenced to four years in prison for possessing over 100,000 child sexual abuse images and videos. Prosecutors say his laptop also contained extremely disturbing violent content, including animal abuse, murder, and other graphic material.

Trump TACOs, Iran to control global price of oil moving forward.

Yikes. The U.S. hiring rate fell to 3.1% in February, the lowest since April 2020. This is a hiring recession. And Americans are feeling it. There were notable hiring pullbacks in February in hospitality and construction. Bottom line: The job market was already frozen before the war in Iran began. It's worrying that a "no hire, no fire" situation could turn into a "no hire, start to fire" job market quickly if there isn't a resolution soon.
