  • Maryland Sen. Van Hollen says he finally met with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia

    Jump

  • More importantly, the government minder is there at all times. Even during the handshake, Garcia is looking at him, not the senator. The body language is clear: he's afraid.

    I'm sure he was informed prior to the meeting about what he was expected to say and the consequences for not doing as he's told.

  • Mack Trucks layoffs to hit Lehigh Valley plant; company blames tariffs

    Jump

  • This first round of industry layoffs are most likely the companies that were already going to lay people off using the tariffs as cover for their own mismanagement.

    The next round will be when the real tariff layoffs begin.

  • Elon Musk decimated the government and saved almost nothing

  • $150 billion is the target for FY 2025, not what they've actually saved.

    And as the article says, we already know that their "receipts" were mostly wrong or bullshit, so even that number will be inflated.

  • Too much hypocrisy should be terminal—a build-up of toxins in the bloodstream or something.

  • Calling it now, Trump will appoint Larry Kudlow from Fox Business News as Fed chair next year.

  • It’s Google’s turn to get thrashed by the GOP

    Jump

  • Couldn't Google say, "OK, we've disbanded the team and we're ending moderation on these things," but actually just, like, do nothing?

    Republicans are like their godfather: lazy and uninterested in the details. Would they even know? Or would they just crow about their victory?

  • As far as I can tell, he's mad that Republicans and Democrats worked together to produce bipartisan legislation.

    Salzman said the bill aims to bring transparency to the process of selecting university presidents and other officials.

    “By bringing presidential searches into the sunshine, ensuring financial accountability for board members, and empowering students with clear information about their courses and textbook costs, we are reaffirming our commitment to providing affordable, high-quality education to all Floridians. This bill will ensure that our higher education institutions are governed in a transparent and ethical manner, with the best interests of our students and taxpayers as the guiding principle,” Salzman said, according to the Florida House website.

  • He was asked about it directly by reporters, sending US citizens to El Salvadorian prisons. He said he wanted to and there have been multiple confirmations that the White House is exploring this.

  • There’s No Coming Back From Trump’s Tariff Disaster | America was the world’s economic anchor. Thanks to the president, it may never have that role again.

  • My guy, the fact that you can't have a friendly discussion without immediately down voting every response indicates that someguy3 is probably right

  • It's not an accident that in an era where every single part of the US budget is being gutted (or likely to be gutted before all of this is over with), the Pentagon received an enormous increase. The MIC runs the US. If the CEO of Lockheed Martin makes a call to Trump, you had better believe Trump listens closely.

  • Regardless of how you may feel about it, that's how the governments of most other Western countries saw it. This is evidenced by US bases all over the world, low investment in national defense by most NATO countries, the dollar being the world's primary reserve currency, etc.

    The diminishment of global influence and power is not because of those things, but because of domestic affairs: in the richest country in history, businesses broke the social contract with workers, the cost of health care skyrocketed as hospitals became for-profit business, and half the country was too brainwashed by consolidated media conglomerates to see what was really happening.

    Basically, the libertarian values that have always been the underpinnings of American society finally reached their apotheosis at the same time the Internet and propagandist entertainment news caused the cultural fabric of society that had formerly acted as a counterweight to begin to unravel. Every man for themselves writ large. The chickens came home to roost.
