My concern is she doing this because of Trump? She certainly didn’t seem interested in lowering rates before & now all of a sudden she is? on.mktw.net/4mDD0EQ Check out this article from MarketWatch - A voice breaking from the Fed ranks just heightened her push for cutting interest rates fast
Exactly. Why is a federal agency that is supposed to be looking for actual criminals being used for political purposes? Trump is imitating El Salvador’s Bukele.
You are wrong, but it’s pointless providing you with facts, so I won’t.
How quickly we have become like Venezuela or El Salvador, forcing businesses to do whatever dear leader & his cronies want. www.wsj.com/tech/trump-i...
Talk about waste, fraud & abuse, congressmen & Senators should be tried afterwards for continuing to waste money like this: flip.it/APa4Wk
"a framework for a deal" sounds a lot like "concepts of a plan"
That was the problem Ms Glasser, you should have recognized the war, instead chose to act as if things were normal w/Trump & his followers. Mr Baker, maybe had you all devoted time to Trump’s mental decline instead of claiming he was transparent, we might not be suffering through a 2nd term.
@tabithaspeaks.bsky.social This is why I am furious with our citizenry. Especially when they start crying that Trump is doing something they don’t want! www.cnn.com/2025/06/26/p...
Trump likes to shout “ceasefire” so he looks like he’s done something positive but it’s as good as the ceasefire between Russia & Ukraine or Israel and Gaza, in other words-not real. Both Putin & Netanyahu know how to string along Trump.
Can I sue parents that don’t vaccinate their kids if my kid winds up sick and winds up in the hospital or with long term repercussions?
Really doesn’t do us any good when Trump & his toadies control everything. He lied his first term, he lied while he was out of office and he has been lying since he got back in, yet his number are still not in single digits.
And even with this clear disregard for her constituents, they will vote her back in because “illegals, trans” are hiding behind every corner. By the time they realize damage Ernst & idiot GOP senators have done, it will be too late!
Yep, those folks he gave badges to were business ppl so I’m guessing one or more has contacts with right ppl in admin & offered to “donate” hefty sum to Trump’s “campaign.”
Crappy take, lacking any compassion. I have other words, none of them nice for you & MSM, but I won’t use them. You all keep beating a dead horse while we have a serpent & a nest of vipers in the WH.
@chrismurphyct.bsky.social What bullshit is this? Quit attacking Biden and focus on the present and future! Republicans & Independents didn’t have a problem voting for an 80 year old nutcase. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Yes, however, since he has no “power” they aren’t going to listen to him. Republican senators will only start backpedaling once voters show up in large numbers to protest. But, doubt that will happen.
Yes, I can blame voters. Instead of looking for a JFK or Obama, they should’ve seen the danger & how they were being manipulated by foreign powers. But, hey, sure, let’s blame the DNC cause we wouldn’t want to accept responsibility for our own stupidity.
The kicker, a recent poll, despite the sh*t show & Trump’s awful numbers, shows voters would still reelect him. Again, it appears we, the voters, have not learned out lesson.
Dem fiasco? LOL, why blame others for what is voters fault? Ppl keep voting or not voting on “principle” or because they consider both parties evil or because Gaza despite warning from Dem leaders, many others. Voters were told that they wouldn’t like the consequences & still they didn’t listen.
Unfortunately $400,000 worth of wiring will need to be added to make it AF1. It is just amazing how corrupt this man and his goons are.
Interesting point, he knew they were going to do this since last year before he became president. Making the bribe even worse.
You do know Democrats are in the minority, they have no power.
Well, he has no power since he’s in the minority. The question should be why aren’t we piling on to Republican Senators? Why should they not feel the heat?
Not sure why folks aren’t seeing that. Trump even said it was a concept. And Americans aren’t paying attn to the fact that we will be paying a 10% tax that wasn’t there before.
Yep, it’s a concept of an agreement that they have agreed to. Which basically means nothing.
Worse yet, the deal is not finalized. They agreed on a “concept” of an agreement. Unfortunately, look for hiccups as negotiators come across sticking points on both sides. Ultimately, American consumers will be paying the 10% tax (tariff) that was not there before.
Why is this not a bigger thing? Are folks not aware that once they cross this line they can pick up anyone? #habeuscorpus www.cnn.com/2025/05/09/p...
Why are we deporting people to countries that are not their own? And why to jails, when they aren’t criminals? Look up how destabilizing it is to ship hardened criminals to a least developed nation. Look at how MS 13 grew from a small street gang in LA to terrorizing El Salvador.
Wish the attorney general in Virginia would sue Trump for those funds as well.
Rather than continuing to find ways to cut taxes on everything, raise taxes on the rich. It’s time they carried their fair share of the burden. I’m sure they can get by with 1 plane or yacht instead of two or three.
He shouldn’t be able to, but all the other things that DOGE killed were also appropriated by congress. Bottom line, without congress finding a backbone there is little standing in his way. If we could get French/S Korean style protests/strikes going we might put enough pressure on congress.
Trump and his flunkies are going to destroy our economy, simple as that.
It is important that we stand up for these two public broadcasting stations. Trump can’t get away with shutting down Sesame Street and other very positive programming. It really is time we start striking.
Was just coming to ask same question!
If Am@zon won't do it, somebody should.
The short answer is yes. He wants to control the whole Western Hemisphere. He believes if he expands US territory that will get his face up on Mt Rushmore. Which is also why he is trying to end war in Ukraine because he desperately wants a Nobel Prize.
LOL, very good point.
Wow, what fantastic negotiating (heavy f**king sarcasm), I mean nobody else could have given Putin so much. At the same time, we are extorting minerals, as payment, from Ukraine. Trump has done more to damage our standing in the world in a short three months, there is just no one to compare him to.
Yep, markings on his collar are weird.
Here’s one of those “wannabes”: www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
Even if we get a sane president& admin the Magaverse is not going away anytime soon. It will be a constant battle to put them back in the bottle, and unfortunately they will not go quietly or peacefully, I believe.
True. However remember Trump didn’t have that power the first term either, but he learned & despite all sorts of warnings & project 2025 voters still gave him a second term. Your sarcasm aside, when institutions are destroyed or compromised every thing fails, justice,etc.
I agree w/your point, however all other countries are battling with their wannabe Trumps. Fortunately, for them, Trump’s insane antics have turned the public in those countries away from conservatives that were attempting to imitate Trump.
So your solution was to go ahead & allow a dictatorship to take hold. I’m sure that all ppl suffering will thank you for saving the middle class. I’m sure middle class will be thrilled to have to juggle life under a dictatorship as well because this administration will make life better for them?
LOL, I’m not loyal to either party. I recognize Democrats are sane ones, for now. I recognize evil of MAGA & Trump. I also recognize billionaires & corporations need to be reined in. However, I understand limitations of system & shooting myself in foot to make a pt won’t solve anything.
All righty, how’s hope working out? You had 5 million turn out for protests on 5th of April, for lawmakers to take note you need 15-20 million, there also needs to be talk of a general strike. But at the moment folks are betting things will go back to normal & legislators will save us-they won’t.
And you are part of the problem we face today. No candidate is ever going to meet all expectations, but once selected you vote for that candidate. Instead ppl like you get on your high horse of “both are evil” or principles & disregard all warnings leading to today.
What is Bernie proposing? Because short of massive protests & nationwide strikes, hope won’t win this battle.
Texas is the experiment. If large opposition doesn’t rise up against these draconian measures, Trump will try implementing them at federal level. Texans need to stand up to Abbott, Patrick & Paxton.
It will also track anyone they want. Texas is acting like the incubator experiment for what they want to roll out to rest of the country. I’m amazed that Texans are allowing it to go this far, thought they had more fight in them.
Makes Trump look weak.
Now that SCOTUS has given him an off ramp without actually making him bring the person back, NOW he’s talking about sending US citizens down there & helping El Salvador build more prisons. Not to worry folks, he’ll ONLY be sending “criminals” down there.
He’s only saying that because Trump & quislings have let him know they want him to keep the men. Otherwise you would see much different behavior.
Bukele can return the man but chooses not to because Trump has made it clear there won’t be any repercussions for him. And he’s considering sending USCs. If SCOTUS doesn’t make it abundantly clear that Trump & his staff can be held responsible for that, then we are cooked.
They all were founding members of MAGA.
Without Americans in those states protesting in mass, so the elected officials know they will lose their upcoming elections, yes, we will.
MAGA yes, definitely are nut cases believing 100% Trump’s ideology. Swing voters that put him in office tend to not be so into the ideology as much as they thought he would be good for the economy. Some may now be regretting their vote.
They don’t want to fix it. If they did they wouldn’t have any scapegoats or be able to frighten their followers.
That's not what the nat guard should be used for
Europeans could have seen the threat of Trump coming. “But up until the eleventh hour, they actually increased their defence dependence on the US,” writes @nathalietocci.bsky.social www.prospectmagazine...
Witkoff is another Putin fan boy, so whatever they discussed should be a hard no for Zelenskyy. Fortunately it appears Europe will be able to provide Ukraine needed support. At least here in US, public opinion is still supporting Ukraine which is why Trump appears like he “supports” Ukraine.
This & add free meals at schools would take burden off busy parents while ensuring well fed kids. We would really hit jackpot if it included two hours after school of supervised activities, sports, reading, art, etc. Parents wouldn’t have to rush home & it would help kids get much needed activities.
The state, which has long ranked worst in the US for child wellbeing, became the first and only in the country to offer free childcare to a majority of families.
The US dollar is reserve currency of the world, that allows us to borrow money at low rates, it incentivizes investments in the US. Our soft power has allowed us to access markets around the world that have lead to US’ economic growth. Our support also creates jobs for Americans.
Hmm, there were plenty of stories on CNN & other media regarding RFK jr.’s whacked views especially leading up to his confirmation, but folks didn’t care. Ppl should have learned instead they continue to embrace stupidity, which is why they can’t be let off the hook.
Absolutely true, but let’s not take the responsibility away from citizens who knew what he was and chose to listen to him. I’m not taking away that he’s a freak but just saying it’s time we start putting blame on idiot citizens as well.
Republicans are still trying to sell us on his “great plan.”I wonder if they realize how angry folks are whose 401k took a major hit & everything will be more expensive, to boot.
To start we had much lower tariffs on goods than the across the board 10% he’s putting on everything, so everything will go up. How to wreck an economy in 30 days or less, thanks to Trump & Republicans.
Here’s a thought, when we get a sane govt in, all Musk contracts would be voided, just like they did to all contracts they didn’t care for. Musk is not a good faith businessman, just look at how he paused starlink when Ukraine was about to bomb a Russian ship.
Ahh, but then they say it’s that the market was overpriced and it didn’t count. Seriously the hoops they go through to justify their king is just wow, and not in a good way.
Unfortunately Vance, and then House Speaker Johnson, aren’t any better. They might calm down if Trump were impeached & convicted, thus ousting him, but I am certain it would be short lived. Vance is just as ambitious & nuts as Trump.
See y'all in 90 days when he tanks the economy again.
Yep, they are acting like they made some great deal, instead of panicking all markets & ppl w/401ks. But sure let’s do this again in 90 days. Here’s CNN making it sound like the market surging back is because Trump is such a genius: www.cnn.com/webview/poli...
@cnn.com WTF is this? Have you all decided to become Trump’s cheerleaders? R u not paying attn to market? How about all ppl he has left w/no jobs while attempting to give huge tax breaks to billionaires! Fire Enten, see how he likes it! substack.com/@aaronrupar/...
Wow, “disapproves,” will “concerned” be next? Can’t use tough words with Putin.
How exactly are we in a“wartime” state? SCOTUS continues supporting Trump on his power grab.
@jaketapper.bsky.social just listened to ur interview of Gov Walz, maybe had you all in MSM reminded public of Trump’s crimes from first term we wouldn’t be in current predicament. Also maybe mention how certain Dem voters turned on Harris because of Gaza, how’s that working for them now?
Personally, I believe folks like Ackman, Musk, etc should be held accountable for the absolute loss that we are about to experience. If folks haven’t heard the Asian markets are taking a drubbing, so be prepared for the US Market continuing its downward dive.
Not going to happen.
Not really a matter of tolerate as much as a third of the population don’t pay attn to politics until it affects them directly. I am hoping the tariffs will do it, however if Trump comes away with a few countries (Vietnam, India) having bargained, Trump will claim a win & some will believe him.
That would require that the majority weren’t sycophants or spineless.
Unfortunately there is a housing shortage and since we have now placed massive tariffs on Canadian wood, he is going to our forests. He is going to open up all preserves and national parks to anyone kissing the ring.
You are thinking he is remorseful or hesitant, instead he has fully bought into what Trump wants. Do not let him off the hook, he is a willing participant.
Not a Schumer fan, think he needs to retire. However, I’m curious as to what you think shutting govt down would have accomplished? Trump might have taken the opportunity to say why do we need all these federal workers fire the ones at home & keep the ones working.
How so?
well said learn from your southern neighbors rw propaganda rotted the brains of 1/3 of the constituency the walking dead is no exaggeration
I do not agree w/deportations of protesters. But many explained over & over the danger of reelecting Trump. Look for his goons to begin looking for US citizens to revoke their citizenship & deport them. He is testing waters. Kamala wouldn’t have deported y’all & she would’ve put pressure on Bibi.
So protesters selected or helped Trump get elected, now not only is he allowing Israel to do whatever they want but you all gave Trump an excuse to attack universities & deport whoever he wants.
Had she selected protesters over Israel she would have lost by wider margins. I don’t agree w/what Bibi has done but protesters made a tactical error in only protesting against Israel. They should have been denouncing Hamas as well.
Biden was Gaza architect? How exactly? You fail to take into acct Netanyahu & how he orchestrated helping Trump while hurting Harris’ campaign. All you had to do was see the body language of Harris & Netanyahu to understand they didn’t like each other. I think she would’ve been a lot harder on Bibi.
Even if we were to curtail Trump at mid terms & Republicans lose massively in 2028, we still have to eradicate MAGA infection or else we will have a Trump wannabe in 2032.
Not just anger, but start trade wars with all allies. I think it’s more than abandon but threaten to annex Canada. Just an all around sh** show. We had a great economy going now it is headed in the wrong direction, and he thinks it’s great.
His workers aren’t going anywhere. They report to him and anyone believing he won’t continue to insert his influence with Trump daily doesn’t understand why he bought the presidency for Trump.
So when you have a health condition we should take away your ability to make your own decisions about your food?
Ugh, for both of them.
Because, unfortunately, she seems to have a lot of sway over Trump.
No, the fault lies squarely on voters. Once again, just like 2016, Dem voters fail to see danger & decided they weren’t going to vote because of Gaza or Harris was not progressive enough or “principles.” It was F..ing clear the danger & once again Progressives screwed all of us.
Yep. However, his supporters continue to believe his lies & think this will result in 1950s jobs coming back. Idiots.
Well, legislators could do something to stop him but GOP won’t say “boo” about him so that avenue is not working. The courts could be another avenue, but we see how this admin is already ignoring their rulings. Ppl are so far gone they think this is good.
