When you take a step back, it’s genuinely stunning how far any of this is from anything Trump campaigned on. It aligns perfectly w Project 2025 of course, but in terms of Trump’s public rhetoric, this was totally absent.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?

But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?

Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

87% of jobs at Amazon pay less than $20 an hour while half of its warehouse workers struggle to cover food and housing costs.

Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth increase by $7.9 million an hour in 2023.

Is this the "free market" Bezos is so desperate to defend?

Letter from Pam Bondi to Kash Patel that demands to know why she didn’t receive Epstein files and demanding an investigation.

Letter from Pam Bondi to Kash Patel that demands to know why she didn’t receive Epstein files and demanding an investigation.

A week ago, Pam Bondi went on Fox News claiming the files were sitting on her desk. Now, in a fabricated letter to Kash Patel, she insists she never received them.

Congrats on shifting the news cycle. Lie better.

After ceding power of the purse, GOP lawmakers beg Trump team for funds Republican senators find themselves in an unusual position these days: begging Trump officials to release funds they themselves appropriated.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

We wanted them to have healthcare and a high paying job and a planet to live on and freedom. They want us to suffer. The parties are not the same.

We’re Negotiating with War Criminals No amount of diplomatic palaver can paper over Russia’s record of kidnapping Ukrainian children, executing POWs, and targeting civilians.

“The people who represent the nation that has committed these war crimes are sitting across the table from Rubio with the hope of relief from devastating sanctions and an end to a conflict they started, all the while continuing to inflict suffering on Ukraine.”

So as I mentioned earlier, Claudia’s Corgi puppy Gracie was fixed yesterday. According to her discharge papers, the veterinary hospital gave her ketamine.

So: Does that mean she was a good DOGE?

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...
