Tennessee Brando lets us know about MAGAts celebrating losses in their 401(k)s because of Pumpkin Pol Pot (I can most definitely assure you I don’t share that mood in any way)...and oh yeah, we get more of the same pabulum along the lines of “don’t worry, be happy” including Judge Winebox, along with that idiocy again from Harris Faulkner about supporting the war effort, or some such nonsense...as Brando says, I don’t recall hearing anything like that from Faulkner while Biden brought us out of the pandemic...and Brando is about 150 percent right about not being able to debate some MAGA goofball or someone simpatico with that bunch (slightly NSFW/H)...
...and Belle discusses the Trade Review Act of 2025, with more Repug senators signing on along with a bunch of Dems, with Repug rep Don Bacon introducing a companion bill in the U.S. House (to reclaim tariff power from Our Demented Orange Man-Baby)...also, the Gropenfuhrer is getting sued over tariffs by a group backed by Leonard Leo and Charles Koch (“don’t mess with the money” indeed...so let me see if I can figure this out; trashing the environment, taking away women’s health care, putting children into dangerous factories, cutting food assistance to families, letting Israel do genocide in Gaza, letting guns proliferate like crazy, attacking LGBTQ individuals and rounding up basically anyone who appears to be an immigrant whether they actually are US citizens or not...that’s all fine with the MAGA crowd, but touching everyone’s retirement is the “third rail” that FINALLY gets the attention of these clowns?)...
Update 1: Now watch and see all the gutless lickspittles of #47’s party forget about clawing back tariffs after this.
Update 2: Jamelle Bouie is probably the only columnist from the "paper of record" that I take seriously any more, FWIW (here - and I know that last sentence is tongue-in-cheek).
...and speaking of “Bibi” and his Gaza carnage, Emma of The Majority Report tells us about a video exposing the slaughter from the IDF of paramedics providing assistance to residents of Rafah in Gaza...absolutely shocking also that the report on this came from Fix Noise, but I have to give them credit...
...and Rachel Maddow discusses the ‘terrible, absolutely ridiculous way to run a government” from Cantaloupe Capone...yeah, so the “solution” from these Trumpist/DOGE nematodes for all of the misery they’re responsible for related to Social Security is just to not tell anybody about it...also, nice job by Arizona AG Kris Mayes to set up a website to report Social Security problems; that should be the case in all 50 states, D.C. and our territories as well...I know the wingnuts will squeal like stuck pigs as usual over commentaries like this (too f’ing bad), but Maddow is spot-f*cking-on with her analysis...
...oh, and by the way, people from other countries are avoiding this nation like the plague (and rightly so), as Jesse Dollemore points out in those particularly damning line graphs...it looks like travel from this country overseas has remained constant thus far, but I would argue that that’s because those trips were likely planned months ago – the real test will be how many trips overseas are planned by people in this country as the year unfolds, and I’m sure that number will fall off the metaphorical cliff also...
...and Elton John released “Jump Up,” his 16th studio album, on this day in 1982...the “hits” from that recording were “Ball and Chain” and “Empty Garden,” but I decided to include this for obvious reasons I guess...he always struck me as a good dude (at least in terms of how he presented himself in public); I’ll always give him credit for “Rocketman,” which was one of the most warts-and-all biopics I’ve ever seen – he definitely deserves points for honesty.
