* BlackRock’s Rick Rieder Climbs Ranks of Fed Chair Contenders @bloomberg.com
LUTNICK, on Musk/DOGE: “.. the focus should have been on cutting the waste, fraud, and abuse — and the people you could do over time. I thought he got that backward.” @mediaite.com @axios.com www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...
Donald Trump has blamed his opponents for Charlie Kirk’s assassination and vowed vengeance. But Utah Republican governor Spencer Cox has called for the de-escalation of partisan tensions, implicitly challenging the president.
“.. For example, it is unusual for the prices of toys to rise on a year-over-year basis. Prior to the Covid-era inflation bulge, the last time CPI toy prices were rising on a year-on-year basis was in August 1997. .. CPI furniture price gains have also shot up.”
BREAN: “.. High inflation is not just a tariffs story. Core CPI goods inflation is now running at 1.5% year-over-year, which compares to a 1.9% DECLINE .. in August last year. “.. Over the last three months, core goods prices are up 2.8% at an annual rate, the fastest pace .. since June 2023.”
WSJ has now appended this lengthy editor's note to its original report. It notably contains zero contrition for the initial decision to spread such incendiary misinformation. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...
“.. Job finding is the risk in the labor market. According to the NY Fed SCE, .. the mean probability of finding a job if you lose one today plunged to 44.91%, a level never before seen in the history of this survey.” 👀 - RenMac
man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger
Here’s one. I think he was one of the biggest tools in the Republican Party. Ignorance begins with dumbing down by the Republican Party for over 40years.
“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The White House this week: “No inflation!” Everyone else: 🤡
NEW: FBI Director Patel was at Rao’s the night of posts about a person in custody in Charlie Kirk’s shooting www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
JPMORGAN: “This week’s US CPI report reinforces our view that tariff-related price pressures are building .. “.. recent softening in job growth .. is now weighing on labor income, a dangerous development at a time when an increase in US inflation is poised to squeeze household purchasing power.”

Count. The. Cardboard. 📦
WE ARE NOT THE SAME! Stephen Miller said that Kirk's last message to him was a call to dismantle radical left organizations fomenting violence across the US and he will make this happen in Kirk's name. Right extremists were responsible for 75% of all extremist murders in the US from 2013 till now. 🤨
We remember.
Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.
Hey! We’re number one.
💯
I will post this everyday to remind us. She was always right!
The world will remember forever
So 🤡 has the flags at half-staff for Kirk, but did not want the lowered for Jimmy Carter. What a POS. Kirk wasn’t even a politician.
Y'know that Guardian article which cited an anonymous friend of Tyler Robinson claiming he was the only "leftist" in his family? It just got updated after the "verified source" decided he couldn't remember his "relationship" with the accused shooter well enough to be quoted
Nancy Mace plays the victim card on CNN: "It's very one-sided right now. I have never called one of my colleagues the kind of names that we've been called. I've never dehumanized my colleagues." (Would've been nice for Kate Bolduan to push back on Mace's blatant lies.)

Well guess what everybody? Charlie Kirk wasn't killed by a radical leftist after all! He was killed by a 22 yr old conservative Mormon that was a MAGA! So the dumb fvck was wrong! Charlie Kirk 'killer' identified as Tyler Robinson after assassination in Utah mol.im/a/15086467 via dailym.ai/android
Ok, one last thing... Tyler Robinson. White. 22 years old. Mormon. Loved the smell of gun powder in the morning. Father 27 year sheriff. Tyler was a registered Republican. Tyler even dressed up as Trump for Halloween. SHOT AND KILLED CHARLIE KIRK. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
“Hey MAGA— #MAGA domestic terrorist Tyler Robinson wasn’t raised by liberals. His family are dyed-in-the-wool Republicans. Dad’s a minister and ex-cop, the family’s got military in the bloodline, and they put guns in his hands as a kid. This is your creation. Own it.”
Trump and MAGA seeking to incite violence and war against "the left" for Charlie Kirk's murder are stuck now that the suspect is white, conservative Tyler Robinson. Which means they will quickly forget the story and move on. Much like they did with Vance Boelter and Trump's shooter.
Meiselas reports on Tyler Robinson, a 22 year old, from Utah confessing to his dad that he killed Charlie Kirk and his dad turning his son over to authorities and Meiselas provides the latest details of the Robinson's background and the background of his Republican family youtube.com/watch?v=Smcm...
Charlie Kirk's murderer, Tyler Robinson is a white, radical-right, MAGA 'Christian.' His Dad was a Sheriff, MAGA supporter, gun enthusiast. Tyler is a home grown domestic terrorist that is nowhere near being 'liberal left.' Who's shocked?
Tyler Robinson is one of yours, MAGA. Curious what you do about the increasing violent radicalization of young MAGA men who are influenced by Nick Fuentes and Groypers and white nationalist conspiracy theories.
It's always sad when you tried to blame a transgender, woke, Democrat for Charlie Kirk's murder, and it turns out to be a Republican white boy from Utah instead. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice Tyler Robinson
What's that sound? It seems to be the deadly silence from MAGA since the shooter was one of them. Tyler Robinson 22 yo white guy from Utah who loves guns and his Conservative family.
Top: Nancy Mace not knowing who was responsible Bottom: Nancy Mace learning Tyler Robinson was white Christian male raised in a Republican family that owned guns
I posted a photo of Tyler Robinson wearing a red Trump t-shirt. I subsequently saw the original photo and realized the Trump t-shirt was Photoshopped. So I deleted by post. If you copied that photo from my post, please don't disseminate it. I apologize for inadvertently spreading disinformation.
Tyler Robinson, 22, of southern Utah, surrendered today as the suspect in Charlie Kirk’s killing. From a conservative Christian family with a long history of firearms experience, he was turned in by his father after being identified in surveillance footage.
The shooter was not: Not Black. Not Trans. Not Muslim. Not an Immigrant. Not a Democrat. Meet Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. A white Christian, Conservative, Republican male with a gun... again.
www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Another HUGE reason (one of the main reasons) why I can’t vote Labour again. Why does Starmer think he won the leadership contest in 2020? (Because he was a Remainer) We didn’t think back then that it was all going to be smoke and mirrors.
it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient
WHAT A DUMBASS
Ukrainian drones today hit two sanctioned tankers carrying Russian oil, the Cai Yun and Kusto. On the way to Net Zero, Ukrainian style. #explodey
Phang: Part of the reason the FBI has been showing this level of dysfunction is evidenced by the lawsuit filed yesterday by former FBI officials—what it shows is that the FBI has basically been hollowed out…

"Kirk’s violent rhetoric helped shape this world, and yet, it has been deemed “civil” by those on both sides of the political divide. This is the mark of a sick society, one that is perfectly fine with an unconscionable body count as long as none of the disfigured, barely recognizable faces are […]
Many people in the UK had no idea who Charlie Kirk was before yesterday. Now, the BBC is running a whole programme on him. Strange that they see his murder as more significant than Israel’s assassination of the Prime Minister of Yemen. #bbcbias
You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.
I don’t know about other social media sites, but Insta there r lots of posts about Kirk n MAGA violence, which is exactly what Taco wants. But, this Kirk thing even has other countries wondering if it was a Gov hit to distract from Epstein files. N who leaked all those Epstein Emails? #arresttrump
can’t be stressed enough that charlie kirk did not produce a single thing of value in his life
Did the Russians kill Charlie Kirk? If the Russians planned an assassination of a prominent MAGA influencer, they knew (without any evidence) that Trump and MAGA would blame Democrats and trigger more violence across America. Russia is trying to destroy America.
Charlie Kirk, entirely in his own words, all within the last three years and mostly since 2024. 1/2
To see the New York Times normalizing Charlie Kirk post mortem as „fun-loving“, „masculine“, „main stream“, „even faintly cool“ (even if sometimes saying „extreme things“), as opposed to bow-tie young republicans of olden days, seems deeply disturbing to me.
“In the aftermath of Kirk’s murder, Trump and the Maga establishment have immediately denounced leftist rhetoric and blamed the left for political violence in America – while ignoring entirely the extreme vitriol coming from their own side, including from Kirk himself.“
Republicans are NAZIS all of them.
I will bet my net worth against his that we do not.
In a perfect world, we’d all just say: I feel so sorry for his small children. These very powerful people force me to say things like: if you want to draw up a sheet of paper, because you may be too stupid to do this yourself, side by side with me of the domestic body count of political violence…
A strong statement from Sen. Thom Tillis.
didn't catch this on first read but Trump also lies about winning Wisconsin in 2020. there's layers of shittiness here
note how Trump explicitly links approving disaster aid for Wisconsin and South Dakota to the fact he won Wisconsin and South Dakota
Hell is waiting for him. He will meet the Devil soon.
REPORTER: What's your reaction to Russia's drone incursion into Poland? TRUMP: It could've been a mistake
Allies are aghast as US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker fails even to show up at the NATO emergency meeting following the incursion over Poland. Guess he was too busy measuring men's urinals again.
This article gives the impression that local authorities and the FBI have essentially no leads at all in the shooting of Charlie Kirk. I'm curious how much of this has to do with the post-purge state of the FBI and its previous focus on domestic extremist activity. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/u...

That’s a lovely thought. But it could never happen with Donald Trump serving as president, and would never have been necessary if he weren’t.
