For those whose objection to soccer is the lack of scoring, the USA beat Paraguay 28-7.

DOGE didn't make a dent in the deficit, but it did bring back screwworm and enable a historically large new Ebola outbreak, so it's not like they didn't achieve *anything*

RT @PanasonicDX4500: I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress e…

Did I understand a single word of it? I did not. Was it a vibe? It was.

Bad Bunny’s America is dope AF. 👏 👏

The team with the most TDs called back last season because of penalties? The Chiefs. The team with the most TD drives extended because of penalties last season? Buffalo. Just stop

This is a remarkable statistic: 18.7 million out of the 24.3 million Obamacare enrollees are in states won by President Trump in 2024.

What do we want? Restore US manufacturing! How we gonna do it? Force a shrinking US manufacturing industry to pay import taxes to the feds, and then re-route the money to soy farmers!

I understand why eye for an eye logic is satisfying for Republicans, but the full picture of what’s happening here is: 1. Trump doesn’t care about the law 2. and, relatedly, broke the law 3. and, relatedly, promoted a culture of law breaking in his admin 4. and now is demanding in open that the DOJ target and punish anybody who acted on points 1-3 5. and is using the fact that he was tried and convicted for crimes as justification for politicizing the DOJ to throw his opponents in jail The principle that’s being promoted here is something like: The presidents who break the law the most have the highest moral claim to punish their enemies with lawfare. And that’s bad.

Poof. No more inflation 🎉

a few days ago brian kilmeade said homeless people should be executed. jesse waters accused the left of trying to start a civil war. fox news spent years telling verifiable lies about dominion and the 2020 election. canceling jimmy kimmel isn’t about an offensive line in a monologue. it’s about wielding state power to silence political opposition.

My heart is with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with the United States. Politics has become a disease in this country, and it’s deadly. But don’t listen to the pessimists who say there is no cure. There is a cure. It is inside of us. We must find our better angels and walk back from the extremes. If we can’t agree on anything else, we must find agreement that we don’t solve our debates with violence. This is a horrible tragedy. May it also be a moment for everyone to rediscover their humanity.

We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk's murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones. I knew Charlie, and I admired his passion and commitment to debate. His senseless murder is a reminder of how important it is for all of us, across the political spectrum, to foster genuine discourse on issues that deeply affect us all without resorting to political violence. The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence. Honest disagreement makes us stronger; violence only drives us further apart and corrodes the values at the heart of this nation.

Our founders never intended for the executive branch to have unilateral authority to tax Americans without Congressional support. This is a good victory for taxpayers.

You can’t remove a Fed governor on accusations. This is not the Apprentice. Anyone can make up accusations, and Trump regularly does. That’s why the Fed is independent. It’s not supposed to be easy to remove them.

Mahomes is 18-15 when Chiefs allow 28 points. Meaning you could add these QBs together just to match him in wins (while adding 28 more losses): Lamar 8-12 Hurts 8-15 Burrow 2-16

An "economist" so dumb I had to explain to him how the import price index works last month will now lead the BLS, kill me

Lol Jerome Powell literally stands behind a podium and explains every interest rate decision in detail, followed by taking questions, at a press conference 🤦‍♂️

People realize these are vaccines for CANCER, right? Like, cancer was going to become a treatable disease because of this funding. Now your cancer will be a death sentence, because of RFK and Trump.

This is. Not right. The BLS has been very transparent about their inability to efficiently survey the public because of the federal hiring freeze, funding cuts and a drop in survey response rates. The former Commissioner of the BLS did an entire Odd Lots episode on this with @TheStalwart and @tracyalloway just a few months ago. They're doing the best they can with increasingly limited resources and their data, despite inefficiencies, is still incredibly close to private sector sources like ADP (see attached chart). You either want very efficient and well funded data suppliers or you can accept poorly funded and inefficient processes. You can't have it both ways. Either way it's silly to fire people over monthly surveys that we know are inefficient by design. Especially when people who actually understand this stuff know that the revisions (like yesterday) are the process by which the inefficient monthly surveys are brought in-line with the state provided QCEW data, which we know is accurate....
