Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent person in the Trump regime — with the exception of Trump himself — and a clear and present danger to the entire world If Trump won’t fire him, Democrats should impeach him when (hopefully) they take over the House and Senate next January.

Core PCE inflation well above target for the 5th month in a row. But, the situation less concerning than it looks (at least for the Fed) but some clearly transitory tariffs & imputed stuff. Annual rates: 1 month: 2.8% 3 months: 2.9% 6 months: 2.5% 12 months: 2.9%

The Fed would have cut interest rates, but Trump's tariffs are preventing it. Powell blames tariffs for rising costs. Reckless tariffs are regressive taxes that hurt YOUR bank account. The government shouldn’t be rigging markets on the backs of working folks.

A four-panel meme. The top-left features a cartoon character in a "Make America Great Again" hat, smiling and saying "Yes! Muh heritage!" The top-right shows people waving Confederate flags behind barricades. The bottom-left panel shows a group waving Mexican flags, with a sign that reads "DON'T DEPORT THE FIELD." The bottom-right panel has the same cartoon character, now angry and yelling "You will be deported!" The meme highlights perceived hypocrisy or contrasting reactions, using a caricature of Trump supporters.
