Good morning, Fairfax!
Senator Warner start bellowing-hold forth with total and utter disregard for your bipartisan persona—Standup for America @markwarner.bsky.social @indivisible.org
If the US is supposed to become a manufacturing center that can create products to be sold in China and third world countries, labor rates are going to be very low.
These people are bastards.
Here’s a statement that isn’t a lie: Donald J. Trump is a CONVICTED CRIMINAL.
See the difference?
Already canceled our subscription late last October when Bezos quashed the presidential endorsement. Democracy died in broad daylight.
If he hasn’t already been disappeared.
Thank you, Senator!
They make shit up all the time. It keeps them in practice to make shit up.
And he did!
HEARINGS NOW‼️
HEARINGS NOW‼️ Stop illegal market manipulation!
This will erode public confidence in our legal system further. Really bad things are coming.
I think Stephen misspelled “manipulation”.
They get enough money and perks legally from lobbyists. Insider trading is illegal and unacceptable. It is also dangerous to our economy.
First heard that quote used to describe this administration by David Brooks on PBS News Hour last month.
It’s yours.
How low will they go?
Martha Stewart served time for something like this. But, hey, she wasn’t a politician.
The bastard-in-chief is gloating about how much money his market manipulation is making for his billionaire friends! What about his own accounts? How are you MAGA folks doing right now?
They’re doing it to manipulate the markets and benefit from insider trading.
Because there aren’t any.
That will work out just fine! LoL!
The message we’re receiving from this administration’s actions, as well as the legislative and judicial response, is not conducive to a law-abiding society. We are in danger of a complete collapse in public compliance with legal norms and rules of behavior. The response may be totalitarianism.
Thank you, Senator Schiff! This manipulation is criminal behavior. Trump refuses to put his investments in a true blind trust; so how much are he, his family, and his friends benefitting illegally from insider information? Where is the oversight? Where is the legal enforcement?
Owning the libs is getting way more expensive than buying eggs.
Thank you, MAGA. Maybe you’ll be able to afford those eggs again
Economics 101: Businesses and markets abhor uncertainty.
Trump is manipulating markets on purpose. If we had a functioning Legislative and/or Judicial Branch, there would be consequences for him.
Well, I’m still waiting for my check!
You’d think there’d be enough judicial integrity in so august a body of legal scholars (at least among their clerks)! That we even have to question the outcome causes me great sadness.
No doubt in my mind. He probably advised them to short stocks in advance as well.
Taken from a position nearby.
Hands Off!! Washington, DC.
Quite a rise in those trousers, too!
More like the reservoir has been poisoned. People will be buying bottled water and filtering their tap water until we can drain the reservoir and refill it. Not exactly a quick recovery.
Trump hates dogs. We knew that!
Short term? Most economists estimate that it may take a decade or more for U.S. industries to replace production of foreign goods we import. Factories need to be constructed based on sound business decisions, while Trump causes nothing but uncertainty.
This is a perfect scheme to collect import tariffs by our government that will ultimately be paid by our citizens (the consumers) to help deflect income tax burdens on the rich.
Look how they jacked up prices during COVID and blamed everything on the supply chain, then on the inflation that they created!
Replace Chuck Schumer with Cory Booker. That’s it. That’s the skeet.
For this regime the cruelty is the point. Understand that, and it all makes sense.
They ALWAYS accuse our side of committing the abuses that they’re already committing. It’s called projection.
Hope the folks in West Virginia and Kentucky who voted for Elon are happy with their choice.
There is no profit in health care for the elderly and the poor. So, either you need to provide universal healthcare or you need to euthanize us when it’s too expensive to treat us. That’s the naked truth.
Poisonous testosterone levels.
He might be right, given what he and Trump have been doing!
The pain is the point.
Definitely not a good likeness!
Because they can tell which way the wind is blowing.
Who was supposed to be reading all those hundreds of thousands of emails anyway?
If there were a semblance of honor or shame in this administration, I’d play. Lacking that, I wouldn’t hazard a guess on how many heads of lettuce he can outlive.
They should all go down with this f’ing ship!
Why shouldn’t we cross the lines? Trump has already crossed the lines.
Tyson’s Corner, VA 3/22/25
Not out of control. On the contrary, he’s been given absolute authority by His Majesty, who is above the law as already decreed by the personally appointed Supreme Court. And the DOJ, run by Little Marco, is firmly under His Majesty’s thumb. So, who, pray tell, is going to cuff him?
This ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Now we have some class!
Can you trust this government anymore? I’m not sure I can. The lies are so easy and so plentiful.
I will NEVER forget.
Thank you, Senator.
Thank you!
How can you be certain it’s making it better for all those babies? If a baby isn’t wanted, it can be born into a nightmare existence; abuse, poverty, disability. But the basic issue is whether the government can force a woman to give birth. I don’t think it can, maybe you do.
Actually, abortion had been on the decline for years after Roe v Wade. Abortion became legal, safe, and more rare. Most women were just trying to live their lives. Evangelicals and opportunistic politicians made it an issue. So how is the so-called pro-life movement making things better?
His argument centers around the anti-abortion position that “babies are being killed.” But these pregnancies are either unwanted or there is a medical problem. If the government is going to force women to give birth, who’s going to ensure the welfare of the unwanted child?
But you still haven’t given me any evidence of harm caused by DEI initiatives. Because you apparently can’t. So, I’m not going to bother engaging with you any longer.
Equity in gender-related health care.

publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/analysi...
Which part of diversity, equity, and inclusion are you opposed to?
First, you show me how DEI has harmed people (aside from annoying white supremacist wannabes).
MAGA voters actually believe he’s not making money as president.
While we’re on a similar subject, can Republicans please show how DEI (what they call “wokeness”) has caused actual physical harm to anyone? Because it can be shown that their anti-DEI policies are already causing plenty of physical harm and even death.
Donold and the right now want everyone to “shut up about egg prices” after promising THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN to lower egg prices on day one.
Won’t last. There will be a falling out, and it won’t be pretty. Wait for it!
Fuckin’ A‼️
It will reduce the capacity of the IRS to collect unpaid revenue from tax evaders by providing inadequate resources and staff.
Thank you!
What is this? The f’ing Stassi??
They might not be laughing when the tariffs kick in and drive up the cost of cars, clothes, and food. They can’t eat culture wars. Owning the libs is going to get expensive.
Might as well.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
You know, I'm starting to think Republican voters might not be good judges of character or ability.
Douche bag.
Grifters gotta grift.
No more money from me, WAPO.
Another strong woman speaks the TRUTH…
Maybe even arrest him as a war criminal.
This is looking more plausible by the day.
Even if Trump and his minions were undertaking effective and productive works, I would still be against them because they are the most obnoxious, irritating, malicious, and uncouth beings that have occupied the executive branch in my lifetime.
In order to successfully impeach Trump, the Dems need a majority in the house. In order to remove an impeached Trump, the Dems need a 2/3 majority in the senate. That alone requires a lot of heavy lifting in 2026.
So, if I’m understanding this correctly, the agency that is being required to defend the legitimacy of its staff reductions is claiming that it doesn’t have enough staff to provide the defense for its staff reduction activity. Absolutely perfect!
I’m with you! I OWN September.
