So the White House's big new economic policy is to hand out $2,000 checks but ask everyone to not spend it.

Sometimes I need to replay these videos several times because I cannot believe they are real.

Chuck Steak?

Charles Barkley used to order his steak well-done. Now, he’s opening a steakhouse and cigar lounge in KOP. https://t.co/7niPbMn4NW

Before everyone loses their goddam minds about Shohei Ohtani, let’s take a quick look at Babe Ruth’s career pitching line.

@BillAckman @realDonaldTrump For helping foment a violent siege on the US government, for sexually assaulting women or for leading an effort to dehumanize immigrants? However will Oslo decide which to honor?

“The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts” should be a judicial cut/paste job.

[Kyle Cheney @kyledcheney]

NEW: Judge Immergut's says Trump's assessment of "war-ravaged" Portland was not made in "good faith" Even under a legal standard that gives the president "great deference," she said, there's no basis for "ignoring the facts on the ground."

I am no Taylor Swift scholar, but sounds like another batch of bangers to me.

President Trump repeatedly lied to the US military’s generals and admirals today. And many of his false claims were on the subject of the military. Details at the link below, but in summary:
- It’s not true Biden never said “we have the strongest military"
- It’s not true Trump has ended "seven" wars
- It’s not true Trump got NATO's defense spending target “up to 2(%) in my last term" from a previous 1%
- It’s not true Biden said upon taking office that “we can get rid of” Space Force
- It’s not true Washington DC was the country’s most dangerous city before Trump deployed the National Guard
- It’s not true that Portland “is burning down"
- It’s not true Biden gave Ukraine "$350 billion"
- It’s not true that “the Congo” “opened up prisons” to send criminals to the US as migrants
- It’s not true the US had "300,000" drug deaths last year
- It's not true Biden allowed in “25 million” migrants
- It’s not true the 2020 election was “rigged"
- It's not true that a judge in the AP's ongoing lawsuit over Trump’s retaliation against the news service for continuing to use the name “Gulf of Mexico” declared that “the name is the Gulf of America” or that the AP’s decision to call it the Gulf of Mexico is “not appropriate"
- It’s not true that CNN turned off its camera when Trump criticized CNN during the speech

Federal judge, appointed by Reagan, in 161-page opinion today in deportation matter:

"There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Hard to see why Democrats should agree to avoid a shutdown if SCOTUS is going to give Trump the equivalent of a line-item veto, letting him pick and choose which congressionally authorized money he'll spend and which he won't.

The free market overhaul has to be supported by a government bailout

[Jeffrey Goldfarb @jgfarb]

@rob1cox “Likely” 😂

[Jeffrey Goldfarb @jgfarb]

Well looky who supports using humor to challenge those in power.

[Brendan Carr @BrendanCarrFCC]

President Biden is right.

Political satire is one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech.

It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in to the discussion.

That’s why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship.

‘Booty’ and ‘butt’ are synonyms.

‘Call’ and ‘dial’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘booty call’ and a ‘butt dial’ are VERY different things.
