@dhaaruni You guys do it every night??? Dayum

Wow. Hard to look at this and think Mamdani is anything but a very, very firm favorite. Incredible work from him and one of the strongest closing campaigns in a Dem primary in recent memory.

[Abby D. Phillip @abbydphillip]

As you can see in the video, Sen. Padilla clearly identifies himself. DHS still wrote this post falsely claiming that he did not.

[Lakshya Jain @lxeagle17]

Pretty horrifying that this is where we are and also a vast overreach of federal power to do this to a senator who was asking a question in a public press conference.

@andrew_lautz Is this confirmed? Where does it say so? Thanks

@liz_elkind Is there a phaseout for salt above 500k? What does that look like?

SCOOP: Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only 2 claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents I obtained.

The policy has slowed down payments, though. Retirement claim processing is down 25%

1) Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has been talking a lot today about fixing the air traffic control system. Well, I did some research and I found his plan to fix it, released a few days ago. And what do you think the name of this new system is? Can you guess? See next⬇️

We've become completely desensitized to it but it's genuinely unreal how corrupt this admin is. Tinpot dictatorship stuff.

Yes, that is the US Attorney General getting paid $1.38M to lobby on behalf of Qatar, and yes she did approve a $400M private jet as a gift.

🚨America's first quarter with Trump delivers -0.3% GDP growth, down from 2.4% growth the prior quarter.

U.S. Treasury will now need to borrow $514 Billion this quarter, an increase of 320% from its previous estimate, per Bloomberg.

Justin Wolfers' claim that DOGE is a failure seems largely supported by evidence. DOGE promised $2 trillion in savings but official claims are only $160 billion, and independent analyses suggest the real figure is closer to $2 billion due to inflated numbers and errors.

Key points:
- NPR and The New York Times report verified savings are far lower than claimed, with issues like typos and unterminated contracts.
- DOGE's methods, like mass layoffs and contract cancellations, face criticism for lack of transparency and legal challenges.
- Despite public support for cost-cutting, the gap between promises and results backs Wolfers' view, though some defend DOGE’s intent.

DOGE's ham-fisted cuts to the federal government are rapidly creating new expenses that will cost taxpayers at least $135 billion this year, exponentially more than any purported savings.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

NEWS: After canceling thousands of foreign students' immigration records — threatening their ability to study and live in the US — the Trump administration has reversed course and restored them all.

It follows intense pushback from courts across the country.

They looked you in the face and said it was Main Street’s turn

Then the The Treasury Secretary held a closed door meeting with Wall Street and said he “expected the situation to de-escalate” a day before Trump capitulated…for nothing in return

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

The key chart right now:

Usually US economic pain is cushioned by falling bond yields and a strengthening dollar, which mean lower interest rates and more spending power for consumers.

This time we’re seeing the opposite, meaning the pain will be amplified.

@lxeagle17 @SplitTicket_ Lakshya, how do you anticipate it will look during the midterms or the next presidential when Trump presumably won't be on the ballot?
