@GottaLaff Funny how when it's time to make hard decisions, it's still time for tax cuts for the wealthy!

“Tariffs on pharmaceuticals would go against a duty-free agreement that the U.S. signed on to under the World Trade Organization… Under the 1994 Agreement on Trade in Pharmaceutical Products, major economic entities agree to eliminate tariffs on most pharmaceutical products and their ingredients”

Trump again threatens tariffs ...

Integrity is not a prerequisite for any of Trump’s department picks. Greasy, colluding, lying, and grafting are all requirements.

@WarnerCrocker It doesn't matter what the administration says. Every MAGA already hates The Atlantic, and every non-MAGA knows who the liars are. I'm pretty sure The Atlantic is aware of this as well, and is not even tempted to leak. If I were the editor, I'd get good personal protection, though, because I don't trust the government not to try to disappear him.

"The White House budget office has taken down its website where approvals of federal funding provided in appropriations laws are statutorily required to be posted for public viewing, a move likely to face major blowback from members of Congress and government watchdogs."

I'd like to reply to that with the following quote from #PeteHegseth himself:

Rupar is watching Newsmax for us.

FINNERTY: Are you saying that they should not be on Medicaid?

REP. GREG MURPHY: I don't personally think they're disabled.

Rep. Greg Murphy endorses including Medicaid cuts for 20 million people in the House reconciliation bill: "Now is the time to make really really hard decisions for the sake of the country."

I heard #Trump spewing lies and disparaging remarks about the journalist who was included in the Signal app national security leak.

Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic was the journalist on the text chain. He should sue Trump for slander/defamation.

Trump’s intelligence officials are clowns. Let’s hope their cavalier reckless behavior doesn’t get someone killed.

"Volvo Trucks is set to redefine long-haul trucking with its new flagship electric model, the Volvo FH Aero Electric—a breakthrough that could accelerate the transition to zero-emission freight transport. Boasting a remarkable 600-kilometer range and the ability to recharge in just 40 minutes, this powerhouse represents a significant leap forward in electrifying heavy-duty logistics."

I get it. Because sometimes it's hard not to call Trump a fat, bloated fuck.

ICE officers arrested 54-year-old Julio Noriega and moved him into a van before he could explain himself, he said.

He spent several hours in an ICE processing center before officers checked his wallet and realized he is a U.S. citizen.

If you're wondering what it looks like when people take classified information seriously, here's a true story: I was once detained by Canadian Armed Forces military police for mistakenly sending a lunch menu over an insecure fax.

Rosemary Barton on CBC just said "if Pierre #Poilievre becomes Prime Minister, he will be automatically granted a full security clearance."

Unbelievable that a CBC host is pushing the idea that Canadians need to calm down, back off, and quit asking why PP won't get a clearance BEFORE voting day?? 🤦

BREAKING: Trump to defund Planned Parenthood of tens of millions of $’s in grants.

Trump is defunding cancer screenings, STD testing and birth control for millions, while spending $3M a week to vacation at his own resort.

I should just have this emoji permanently embedded in my posts 🤦🏻‍♀️

Via Hugo Lowell:

New: Asked whether it would be fine to release all the messages in the Signal chat since he says they are not classified, #Trump demurs and tells me: “I'd have to ask the military about that, because, you know, maybe you wouldn't want that. I don't know.”
