Everything is FUBAR, and I’m not exaggerating. I constantly reiterate that it’s almost impossible to keep up with all the shit that’s hitting the fan. I should modify that to say that I personally cannot keep up with it all. But my friend Heather Parton, better known as Digby, does a great job of it…

Just when you think we’ve hit rock bottom, the magats in Dump-land prove that there is no bottom. Since we last spoke, the tariffs are on again, off again, temporary or permanent or paused for 90 days (and the stock market is up, down, up, down, ad nauseum; the administration is openly defying a Supreme…

I’m not quite sure what “yippy” means, but the guy with the *best* words used it to explain (in Dump’s case, that means ‘lie’) why he reversed himself on his tariffs yesterday. People were getting yippy? Maybe it means that they were pissed off that their portfolios and retirement accounts were hemorrhaging money? I wonder…

If you’re feeling nauseous right now, that’s to be expected and you’re not alone. Exactly one week after proclaiming it “liberation day” and a week of saying he wouldn’t back down, today the orange one pulled a 180 and said “never mind,” pausing the “reciprocal tariffs” for 90 days, except for China and 10% for…

The Dump administration is haphazardly attacking all aspects of our federal government, including agencies that are tasked with protecting not only the US’ population, but the world’s. We’ve been talking a lot about our social safety net — attacks on Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security, attacks on due process and civil rights, and equality for all…

We wrap up each week on the Friday show with Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net. This week was a rollercoaster with Cory Booker stepping up to offer motivation and passion and, dare I say, hope.
