Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo

.@JamesTalarico: There's been a lot of talk in this race about what it means to be a real man. Recently on the campaign trail I told the story of my adoptive dad, Mark Talarico. Every Saturday morning, he would mow our lawn, and then without anyone asking him to, he would go next door and mow our neighbor's lawn because she was a widow. My dad never talked about it — he just did it, because that's what a man does. A man takes responsibility, upholds his commitments to his family and his neighbors, and does what's right, even when no one is watching. Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life, sell their soul to the highest bidder, or steal from other people in order to enrich themselves. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves. I welcome this debate about what it means to be a man, and I don't think Ken Paxton or Ted Cruz are in a position to tell anybody what a real man is.

Ana Navarro: “Trump is furious that the people he endorsed are losing. Getting the endorsement of Donald Trump in California is like being endorsed by Satan when a Cardinal wants to be elected Pope. People in California detest, loathe Donald Trump”

The US government is becoming increasingly dependent on private investors to finance its growing debt burden: Privately held US Treasury debt maturing within 1 year is up to a record $8.3 trillion. This figure has DOUBLED over the last 5 years, reflecting the government's growing reliance on short-term financing from private investors. As more debt shifts into Treasury bills, a larger amount must be refinanced every year, leaving borrowing costs increasingly sensitive to interest rates and investor demand. At the same time, foreign central banks are reducing their share of Treasury holdings, making private investors absorb a larger portion of new issuances. As a result, the Treasury market is becoming increasingly dependent on investor demand and liquidity conditions rather than the stable long-term buyers that have traditionally anchored it. With US public debt at an all-time high, even modest disruptions in funding markets could have an outsized impact on borrowing costs. Treasury refinancing risks are intensifying.

Every Republican on the House Appropriations Committee voted against Ukraine aid. These people are total hypocrites: yesterday they give standing ovations for King Charles speech about supporting Ukraine...

⚠️ BoA DATA: FOOD INFLATION PIPELINE BURSTING: - US food & beverage inflation surging 7.9% YoY in March • Tomatoes: 102% • Vegetables: 90% • Diesel: 88% - Rose 373bps from 4.2%) which is the biggest jump in ~12 months - Retail CPI food still lags at just 2.7% which means pass-through to shelves imminent.

If you were horrified last night watching our elected leaders run and scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, becomes a part of the solution and only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Next time, if you want to fool anybody other than your idiot supporters, move the clouds.

Trump wants $200 billion more for his war in Iran. Know what that buys? - 7 years of ACA tax credits - 3 years of dental, hearing, and vision for seniors - Millions of homes for first-time buyers That’s the choice he’s making. Via @SenAmyKlobuchar
