The national debt just hit $40 trillion, gas is $4 a gallon, personal bankruptcies are at an all-time high, mortgage rates are up, GDP growth is terrible, we are stuck in another endless Middle East conflict, but the Republican Party is focused on ballrooms and car races.

Hey @durbin.senate.gov, remember that making a mistake is grabbing salted butter instead of unsalted butter at the grocery store. Building a weaponization fund so that the President can fund paramilitary forces in America isn't that.

The NYT removed the "um"s in Trump's answer on Taiwan, but put "um"s in AOC's answer on Taiwan to make her look dumb Trump said "Um, I would say 'like' is maybe too strong a word...um, no, I'm holding that in abeyance and it depends on China, depends, it's a, it's a.." L: Trump R: AOC Video below

The New York Times: The American president’s comments had been released over the weekend, after Mr. Trump left a summit with Mr. Xi in Beijing on Friday. He said he was keeping on hold a decision about a package of weapons to Taiwan worth around $14 billion, and described it as a “very good negotiating chip” that could be used with Beijing.

“I’m holding that in abeyance and it depends on China,” he said in an interview with Fox News. It was not immediately clear what Mr. Trump wanted China to do in return.

The New York Times: The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises.

Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response.

“I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.

See the left of the graph, when monthly job creation was high? A terrible economy that should be described negatively. And on the right side, where the line has sloped down, and even a relatively high month is lower than the average under Biden? That’s good, and merits positive words like “solid.”

There’s a bizarre social consensus, somehow strongest among the elites and institutional leaders of the nation, that all this deranged behavior simply amounts to nothing - bluster and chaos sitting atop a fundamental normalcy.

Could the press please, finally, learn this lesson: Everything these people said about Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, starting new wars—all of it—was false. Not because they meant the opposite, but because they're post-truth and say whatever they think gets them an advantage in the moment.

So much wrong here: 1. There was some new hiring, so this number is off by about 100K 2. Unlike most businesses, personnel spending is a tiny fraction (5-6%) of federal outlays 3. Spending has actually increased 4. Many have noticed worse services! donmoynihan.substack.com/p/a-year-on-...

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"
