According to Federal Reserve economists, without Trump's tariffs, inflation would have dropped to pre-pandemic levels last year. Instead, core goods prices were up 3.1% by February 2026 — and Trump's Iran War will send prices skyrocketing even higher. Tired of winning yet?

Apologies, the previous chart was incorrect. I missed that SCOTUS granted emergency relief in Murthy v. Missouri after the appellate court's stay. I also missed FDA v. Alliance. The updated rate of lifted injunctions for the Biden admin is 10% (2 of 21), not 0%.
Infographic titled “One Court, Two Standards” compares how the Supreme Court used emergency powers to rule on lower-court injunctions against the Biden and Trump administrations. Two panels show:
	•	Biden Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 21 cases.  2 cases saw injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.
	•	Trump Administration: Lower courts blocked policies in 86 cases. 66 green squares and 20 red squares show that 77% of injunctions/TROs were lifted by SCOTUS.

Key takeaway box below reads:
“Using its ‘shadow docket,’ the Supreme Court granted emergency relief to lift 77% of lower-court injunctions against the Trump administration. It lifted 0% of those against the Biden administration.”

Sources and notes below include: CourtListener data through July 7, 2025; analysis by Adam Bonica.

Palestinians gunned down while trying to reach food aid site in Gaza, hospital says
Witnesses say Israeli forces opened fire on people near distribution point run by Israel-backed foundation More than 20 people were killed on Sunday as they went to receive food at an aid distribution point set up by an Israeli-backed foundation in the Gaza Strip, according to a hospital run by the Red Cross that received the bodies. Witnesses told the Associated Press that Israeli forces had opened fire on people as they headed toward the aid distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). “There were many martyrs, including women,” the 40-year-old resident said. “We were about 300 metres away from the military.” Continue reading...

Note that those who proudly voted against FEMA are now asking for FEMA aid because of devastation from storms “that will take a lot of effort to recover from”. NO SHIT- you fired the people who could help, now you AND the people who voted for you can suck it up like the rest of us will have to.

It is time to impeach and bring forth a means to determine if there is any competence in the administration. Arresting political opponents is not our United States of America. For a party so focused on touting the Constitution, they need to read and understand it.

The city’s swankiest tweens lived it up over the weekend at dueling lavish bar mitzvahs, we hear.

Uptown, Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick’s son Ryan was fêted at the Metropolitan Museum’s Temple of Dendur — the same setting as Vogue’s annual Met Gala — with music by Rich the Kid and DJ Irie.

An insider told us the performance by Kid probably cost “between $200,000 and $300,000.”

One hundred kids attended with 200 adults, including Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson, Melania Trump’s former adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff and publicist Alison Brod, taking part in the festivities that included catering by Paris’ iconic Caviar Kaspia.

Federally funded R&D (not all of which is spent at universities) as a fraction of GDP is as low as it's been since we started tracking. Which is a different way of looking at it than "line go up." 4/x ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf2332...
Line graph of the ratio of US R&D spending from various sources to GDP, 1953-2021. The federal percent ranges from about 0.6% of GDP to 1.8%, with the peak in the 1960s, and the low point at the very beginning and over the last 20 years.

I have never before felt such shame in paying taxes. I have often questioned how our money was divided. This year, the anger at sending innocent people to El Salvador, $92M military parade, millions in golf trips, throwing away decades in research on climate, cancer, infectious diseases, and more. 😢
