Krugman: "the interaction between this Japan deal and Trump’s other tariffs probably tilts the playing field between U.S. and Japanese producers of cars, and perhaps other products, in Japan’s favor." (To be clear: That's not how this is supposed to work.) paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-art-of...

Dumb tariff policy, tax cuts for billionaires, a president with a meme coin, market manipulation, and blatant corruption. All things that don’t make people feel good about the economy. Is anyone surprised?

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Lines from Paul Simon's "American Tune"—what he calls his most political song—have stuck in my head of late. He wrote it as a solo number, but the best recording was from his 1981 reunion w/ Art Garfunkel in Central Park. See you around. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvSu...

BREAKING: Here is the anti-trans sex/gender executive order. It's extensive, it's bad, and it's often lawless. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... And, do not miss in "d" and "e" below, it even tries to put in the beginnings of a personhood argument, for some reason.

Sec. 2. Policy and Definitions. It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality. Under my direction, the Executive Branch will enforce all sex-protective laws to promote this reality, and the following definitions shall govern all Executive interpretation of and application of Federal law and administration policy:

(a) “Sex” shall refer to an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female. “Sex” is not a synonym for and does not include the concept of “gender identity.”

(b) “Women” or “woman” and “girls” or “girl” shall mean adult and juvenile human females, respectively.

(c) “Men” or “man” and “boys” or “boy” shall mean adult and juvenile human males, respectively.

(d) “Female” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.

(e) “Male” means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.

Jake Chansley, the Arizona actor who called himself the QAnon Shaman and who became one of the most recognized J6 figures, said tonight in a post on X that he received a pardon from Trump. He added: "NOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!!"

A white man wearing red, white and blue face paint along with a fur hat with two long spiked horns. He appears to be shouting or howling.
