this gaffe should follow Eric Schmitt around for the rest of his political life (Jack Smith was actually in Maryland at a HAWKEYES game, not in Atlanta colluding with Fani Willis as Schmitt alleged) (Win McNamee/Getty)

Reminds me of a CA friend who don't know the difference between Illinois, Iowa and Indiana. How could they have never heard of the "Hawks" as short for Hawkeyes. Amateur hour.

Apparently it is of no concern to any Republicans that Trump and Bessent are taking in billions of dollars from plundered Venezuelan oil and nobody knows where the money is, where is has been going, if anyone is getting proceeds, with no accounting of any of it made available.

13 years later, the data has been updated, and the distribution is worse than before. And here’s the interesting part: Republicans and Democrats agree on what a more equal distribution of wealth should look like. It’s not left vs. right. It’s up vs. down. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gxl...

Fox News is more hopeful about the Senate than a good chunk of Bluesky, I feel.
A map of Fox News' Senate forecast. NC, MI, NH, and GA are "Lean D," while OH, AK, IA, and ME are toss-ups. TX is "Lean R." Nebraska is "Likely R." Minnesota is "Likely D."

We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.
Line chart titled "Consumer Sentiment just fell to a (new) all-time low" showing the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index from 1952 to May 2026. The index plummeted to 44.8 in May 2026, the lowest reading in the survey's 74-year history, falling sharply from 74.0 in December 2024. This marks three consecutive months of decline and drops below all previous crisis lows, including the June 2022 inflation surge low of 50.0 and the April 2020 pandemic low of 71.8, signaling an unprecedented collapse in consumer confidence.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Gonna be a tough sell for the GOP when it takes months for fuel and fertilizer prices to come down, and inflation spikes regardless. All assuming Trump claims victory and gets out of the region. Not a sure thing!

We unilaterally tore up a previous agreement. We’ve repeatedly bombed Iran during negotiations. We’ve killed their leaders. They have leverage with Hormuz. Why can’t we hammer out an agreement on our terms in one day?!

Maybe in an era of online learning, we have too many pork-barrel regional campuses. In WA State: Eastern WA is an hour from WSU-Pullman. WSU Everett, midway between UW and Western WA, has just 253 students. And if most classes are taught remotely anyway, why not just go online?

Yeah, maybe throwing out the deal Obama’s team carefully, professionally, and rigorously negotiated wasn’t a good idea.
