Goods prices are rebounding amidst the trade war—excluding food and energy, prices are up at the fastest pace since the COVID inflation surge, and increases in durable goods prices are currently larger than at any point from 1995-2020.

A similar recent situation out of Boise: Boise PD and Idaho State Police used footage provided by a far right group to target and charge an abortion activist. Three years later, a mistrial is declared when withheld video, apparently, shows battery and instigation by the source's group.

Fucking losing it how little of the reporting I’m reading about the CDC not mentioning how an anti-vaxxer gunman killed a police officer and fired hundreds of rounds at the building 2 weeks ago. An end to end ouroborous of delusional mania. The GOP will probably give the shooter a posthumous medal.
