One of my favorite intros to play from the Speechless record- “Speechless”! My amazing band, along with the incredible La Vie Quartet, truly made this song shine. I can’t wait to do it all again this fall.

37 years ago the Chinese army killed large numbers of people in Beijing and elsewhere when it cracked down on student protests. I was there and saw it happen myself. Nowadays China tries to claim the Tiananmen massacre was invented by the international media. That’s a total lie.

But there's more: CBO assumes all this new government debt will never push its average interest rate above 4.2%. Economic research suggests otherwise.

If rates instead plausibly rise to 5.2% that's another 60% of GDP in debt - $57 trillion in nominal dollars. Yikes.

[Jessica Riedl 🧀 🇺🇦 @JessicaBRiedl]

NEW from me. A short blog post walking through how the CBO's (already scary) budget baseline likely under-estimates the 30-year debt projection by 68% of GDP.

That means the federal debt outlook is $62 trillion(!) worse than is commonly-reported. 🧵

Here's your reminder that the GOP, starting arguably in 1952 and *certainly* by 1980, was founded in being the anti-totalitarian, anti-Russia party.

Pathetic that only 6 R's voted the right way. Grateful to those who did.

[Burgess Everett @burgessev]

Wow - Cassidy signs onto brief stating, in part: "The Anti-Weaponization Fund presents an immediate and dire threat to our constitutional order and the authority of Congress. Indeed, among other purposes, the Fund is designed to compensate the insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. The existence of the Fund strikes at the core of Congressional authority and our Constitutional order"

Just another step toward a managed economy and away from a free economy

@chrisjenks79 I'm constantly amazed that people are still platforming this clearly shameless and insane woman.

There is literally nothing that this administration does, no matter how terrible, immoral, or illegal that she will not shill for.

[Clifford Smith @CVernonSmith]

False.

It is, however, the greatest comic book movie ever made, and one of the greatest action movies ever made.

Top 100 of all time? I wouldn't argue against it.

[Gregg Nunziata @greggnunziata]

"It’s a sign that Senate Republicans in particular have remembered that they run an independent branch of the federal government, with its own responsibility to voters and its own duty to uphold the Constitution and the laws it writes. They should go two steps further: bar Trump from reviving the idea, and ensure that future presidents are no longer empowered to engage in similar mischief."

[Chris Jenkins @chrisjenks79]

@scottlincicome Just an absolute clown. Anybody who gives her a platform should be embarrassed. She's a shameless grifter who's not smart enough to defend her own BS.

[Chris Jenkins @chrisjenks79]

She has no shame. Or brains, for that matter. She has no business having a platform to spew her inanity.

[Nate Nelson 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 @polinate73]

@BridgetPhetasy It's absolutely insane to me that you have Batya Ungar-Sargon on your show when she spouts non-stop lies.

@StallionCornell You should get around more 😛

@JohnDalyBooks Does he think that measuring the length of a horizontal structure on the ground compares in any meaningful way to the height of a skyscraper?
Apples and oranges.

[Jay Nordlinger @jaynordlinger]

Six Republicans -- just six members of my old party. Well, bless them. (If you had told me, short years ago, that one of our major parties would refuse to support an ally of ours that had been invaded by Putin's Russia, I would have guessed the Democrats. Live and learn?)

[one dozen rats at a keyboard @PanasonicDX4500]

I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

A big reason Americans are hurting is tariffs. They cost each American household about $1,000 in 2025, and more pain is coming this year.

The idea that Trump should tax Americans and then send them a rebate check to offset the tax he unilaterally imposed does not make sense.

[Tom Moyer 🇺🇸 @TomMoyerUT]

“This all points to why Congress, not the president, is supposed to be responsible for setting tariffs and trade policy. The legislative process would have prevented many of these tariffs—that the White House is scrambling to roll back—from being implemented in the first place.”
