Early on, I believe Tr__p was polling lower than other presidents in office for six months. Given the state of the economy as compared to […]
– by New Deal democrat My “Weekly Indicators” post is up at Seeking Alpha. With the continued pause in actual tariff increases, the data has rebounded basically across the board from April and May. Even the long leading indicators have improved somewhat, led by some un-inversions of the yield curve and the improvement in corporate profits as […]
Just an abbreviated version of an article about an appointment and how Bondi gets it wrong. In one of the more stupid episodes in an already stupid run of them, Pam Bondi gushed to social media the Trump administration would stand up to “politically minded” judges . . . and then fire Desiree Leigh Grace.

As a result, the millions of Americans who live in those communities no longer have access to an emergency room, in patient care, and many other hospital services that citizens in most of […]
A long report by Joyce Vance today. It covers quite a bit of territory including Epstein. Maybe disagreeing courts on this one. One temp was let go . . . no loss there. Court’s ruling on Garcia. He could be deported again. Redistricting taken up and probably gerrymandered, Courts and Trump disagreeing. It is pretty […]

Trump has argued that his tariffs will return manufacturing to the United States and further that they will raise revenue helping offset the $3.4 trillion increase the tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations will add to the debt over the […]
