McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care. It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

My state has had a legislative GOP supermajority for 22 years. Missouri is ranked: 50th in classroom funding 49th in starting teacher pay 7th highest in gun deaths 6th highest in maternal mortality Republicans can’t govern and you can look at every red state to come to that conclusion.

Says it all, really.
He turns being artless into an art form; He is a Picasso of pettiness; A Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: Even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look Trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a trump.

This is how much Congress, in a bill the House passed this morning, proposes to spend _just to hold migrants in detention_ over the next 4 1/2 years. From this new WOLA explainer: bit.ly/2025-05-wola...
2.   $45 billion for adult and family detention.

That would be enough to detain 100,000 people at a time, perhaps more. The New York Times reported in early April that ICE had already requested proposals from contractors who run detention facilities. Add another $3 billion for the Office of Refugee Resettlement to hold migrant children who arrive unaccompanied.

How much is that combined $48 billion? Adjusted for inflation, it would be:

    Enough to cancel the debt of 1,240,814 student loan holders ( averaging $38,375 each).
    A generous estimate of what it would cost to end U.S. homelessness for 19 months ($30 billion per year).
    1.6 times the global revenue of the entire music industry in 2024 ($29.6 billion in 2024 dollars).
    More than enough to build a new stadium for all 30 Major League Baseball teams (the Oakland As’ new stadium in Las Vegas is expected to cost $1.5 billion).
    More than Netflix’s forecast worldwide revenue from its 300 million-plus subscribers in 2025 ($43.5 to $44.5 billion).

Here's my set of takes on Biden and his age and ability to do the job. 1) The decision to seek reelection was very obviously the wrong one, and indeed I'd say catastrophically so. *At the time* it may have been defensible but with the benefit of hindsight, it was a terrible mistake.

I see people comparing Trump to 1700s mercantilists. That’s not quite right. Even 18th century mercantilists knew that if you were trying to use tariffs to boost your trade surplus, you wanted to tax imports of *finished goods,* not the *inputs* www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/tru...

Opinion | Trump’s trade policy is stuck in the ’80s — the 1680s
Tariffs are counterproductive. As Adam Smith showed us a long time ago.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

The interesting thing is that according to our own Justice Department, MS-13 began restricting tattoos (c. 2015) on its members precisely bc law enforcement was using them to ID them. Members have to get permission, which means fewer people would have them over last decade

People are entitled to vote for whomever they want, for whatever reasons matter to them. But when people who haven't been victimized complain that they're victims—people who have, in fact, been subsidized—and that this victimization entitles them to hurt others, no one's obligated to indulge that.
