It's just a fact that these tariffs will do a lot more damage to the economy than anything Kamala Harris even joked about doing. Good job people who sold out minority rights for the economy!

Boris Epshteyn, a top Trump aide/operator, is accused of soliciting $ from people hoping to get high-level appointments in the Trump II administration, including Treasury Secretary nominee-to-be Scott Bessent. By my colleagues @maggiehaberman.bsky.social & Jonathan Swan. (gift link)...

Fortunately, the effects of the retaliatory tarrifs will be immediate, loud, and disproportionately affect Trumps base - rural voters and manufacturers. They won't last, not at the ruinous levels he's proposing.

Sorry Jo, but they are not fucking kidding you. Or us. Or themselves.

Woomp womp.

I have already accepted that the world going forward is going to be shitty until we all die in nuclear war or from climate change famine.

Let these these fucking idiots suffer too.

I have already accepted that the world going forward is going to be shitty until we all die in nuclear war or from climate change famine.

These issues are all related, of course. The apathy and greed, the drive for "better" living standards, narrowly defined as more and more consumer goods, no matter how frivolous (hey, I buy them, too, I'm no angel). All of this is at the root of climate change, which itself is a symptom of resource plundering.

This was never going to end well. We all just hoped it wouldn't end during our own lifetimes, eh?

 

[Casey Pelous]

They didn't vote for any of that to happen to them. Just to you.

Let's break down what 25% tariffs between the US, Canada & Mexico could mean, based on our deeply integrated supply chains and economies. 1/ [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Homan: Don’t knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien from ice. Because that is a felony. We have one hell of an Attorney General coming in… we're going to have consequences of people who violate the law and try to prevent us from doing our job.

Elon Musk publicized the names of government employees he wants to cut. It’s terrifying federal workers

Then President-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on the line.

Now they have a new fear: becoming the personal targets of the world’s richest man – and his legions of followers.

Last week, in the midst of the flurry of his daily missives, Musk reposted two X posts that revealed the names and titles of people holding four relatively obscure climate-related government positions. Each post has been viewed tens of millions of times, and the individuals named have been subjected to a barrage of negative attention. At least one of the four women named has deleted her social media accounts.

Although the information he posted on those government positions is available through public online databases, these posts target otherwise unknown government employees in roles that do not deal directly with the public.

Musk needs to be made an enemy of Trump ASAP, so we can get him away from the levers of power he's fucking around with.

It's all women. None of the targeted employees have been men.
