The man is, whatever his other faults, just way in over his head. Maybe Democrats should say that more often. The fact that he’s costing taxpayers a billion dollars a day on a war most of them didn’t want may be a good place to start. trib.al/oQGYMWP
How fitting.
TORONTO/WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - Shots were fired at the U.S. consulate in Toronto early on Tuesday but no one was injured, police said, in what Canada's public safety

Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Turns out adhering to corporate principles has its benefits:

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

Are we allowed to get the rest of the Epstein files now?

The White House has offered mixed messaging on if the US was pulled into war with Iran because of Israel. Media reactions further exposed the long-standing conservative divisions on the subject.
Job growth over 14 months of Trump’s second term: 150,000 jobs
The previous 14 months: 1.74 million jobs
Under Biden: 0 months of job losses
Trump’s second term: losses in two of the last three months, three of the last five months, and five of the last nine months.

As oil prices soar, remember: It was four days ago when Trump said he helped “stabilize” gas prices, touting the “decisive action” his administration took “to help keep down the oil prices.”
Yeah, about that...

again, not great news for the Fed
Pity poor Kevin Warsh, who was nominated for Fed chair because he promised to cut interest rates
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
NEW: Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) and several Democratic officials have denounced the FBI’s decision to subpoena records related to the 2020 election in Arizona’s Maricopa County, characterizing it as an attempt to undermine trust in elections.
Just another normal morning where the President of the United States shares completely false claims from a conspiracy theory site. I’ve confirmed with election officials in Maricopa County that this is 100% BS.
Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.
The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said. The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.'
“The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence.”

I realize it’s the Daily Mail, but it sounds like they really did get their hands on a DHS bulletin that was meant for public release until the WH stopped it. The report is worth reading in full:
