The Wells Fargo exec overseeing their customer account scam got a $125 million exit package. Meanwhile, most Americans who lose their jobs get only limited unemployment benefits. When I say we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest, this is what I mean.

CONGRESSMAN JAKE AUCHINCLOSS

  LAST 2 WEEKS IN REVIEW I’m your Representative in Congress and I write to keep you informed. The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy A junior varsity national security team  No one is above the law, or below it  Big ideas to govern better Hitting back on behalf of scientists Meeting with constituents in the MA-04   The chaos and costs of Trump’s tariff strategy   WSJ’s “dumbest trade war in history”:  The president announced sweeping tariffs this week, which amount to a $500+ billion tax hike on everyday Americans. The tariffs were calculated  nonsensically  and communicated incoherently. There is robust debate between policymakers and economists about how tariffs might help America, but every serious participant in that debate recognizes that the chaos of this tariff roll-out will cause pain for businesses, families, and allies alike.  I have often joined the tariff debate, generally arguing for free trade with the exception of Chin...

Ramble On: Waiting for the Barbarians (video) Morning thoughts on exfiltrations, the gutting of the FDA, tomorrow's protests, and how to quiet the brain by visiting Alexandria Greg Olear Apr 4 Good morning! Here is today’s ramble: And here is the transcript, edited for clarity: Good morning. It is Friday, April 4th, 6:17 a.m. We’ve made it. Those of us who have made it have made it through another batshit crazy week, courtesy of Trump and Musk and Vance and this entire cockamamie administration.

This morning, I don’t know, I want to talk about a couple of things and my own emotional state this week, because I think that might be helpful. Two stories that really stuck out for me. One of them I wrote about on Monday, or Tuesday rather, in  the April Fool’s piece , which is that the ICE Ge...

Trump's Shows SIGNS OF DEMENTIA During AWFUL Announcement

Image
  + 1,700 COMMENTS WORTH READING! I am a Nurse at a long-term care facility. Trump increasingly behaves and speaks like the residents I care for. He isn't aware that groceries are what most people are dealing with every day. He doesn't believe this. He is so far away from day to day normal life. One individual was not meant to have this much power in our country. That is not how the Constitution was designed. Shame on Congress and the Courts for failing to do their job to keep this maniac in check. The Republicans in Congress need to stop this madness! That entire party is sick! His vocabulary, syntax and sentence construction was always stunted, blunted and profoundly limited. My Mum had dementia. THIS IS IT. FULL FRONTAL. Started trying to tell ppl in 15 that he was demented. Worked geriatric psychic for 30 years took care of lots of old men like him. Florida was a real disappointment!! I am 76 years old. I'm gaining weight. My spatial awareness is declining. I forget...
