Trump on the economy: I almost like to hear bad numbers. I hope we have bad numbers

[brandon* @brndxix]

don’t worry guys, the wealth will trickle down

The President of the United States paid $5.6 million to one of his rape victims today.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.

ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

This action by the US government to subpoena reporters for reporting legitimate news on security concerns about Air Force 1 should alarm every American.

“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The Times’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement on Friday evening.

The fact that we just spent maybe close to $200 billion on an utterly stupid and pointless war and a certain species of American still finds the idea of the govt subsidizing youth soccer unthinkable is basically the insoluble problem here

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

The U.S. median wealth per adult: $68,998 (ranked #28 globally)

Luxembourg: $394,005
Belgium: $277,166
Italy: $131,001
UK: $125,335
France: $121,898
Spain: $111,575

U.S. wealth is so concentrated in the hands of a wealthy few at the top that the average becomes double that of Europe.

"The success of the US mens national soccer team comes in spite of Trump, not because of him. Half of the roster is made up of dual citizenship holders, foreign-born players, and children of immigrants. Coach Mauricio Pochettino is Argentine. This team is a repudiation of everything Trump stands for and is working towards. It could never exist in the world that Trump has tried to bring about with his brutal immigration crackdowns and isolationist foreign policy. You can’t take credit for the success of the team while simultaneously trying to eliminate the conditions necessary for it to exist."

“We’d really love to get Giannis… as long as we don’t give up our only elite guy on our 10-seed that was 100% healthy for our play-in loss. Oh and we don’t have a top-10 pick or a killer young asset. Everything else? On the table! Wait, why the fuck won’t you do this? Assholes!”

[Mike @MikeSanchize]

Kinda funny how 24 hours ago the same trade package that wasn't enough has now turned into a "gutting" of the roster lol

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Heat president Pat Riley now makes his long-anticipated new landmark acquisition, with Antetokounmpo joining elite Miami pickups such as LeBron James, Shaquille O’Neal, Chris Bosh, Alonzo Mourning and Jimmy Butler over the past 30-plus years. Riley will pair the two-time NBA MVP and 2021 Finals MVP with Bam Adebayo to lead contention in the Eastern Conference. 

After informing teams that they were open for business at the NBA draft combine in May, Bucks general manager Jon Horst landed a haul with the Heat’s offer that brings high-level starting/rotation players and young talent, as well as significant draft capital.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

The Celtics aggressively pursued Giannis, offering Milwaukee a package featuring 2024 Finals MVP Jaylen Brown and two first-round picks, sources tell ESPN. The Bucks seriously negotiated with two finalists in recent weeks: Miami and Boston, which were both on Antetokounmpo’s list of preferred destinations.

America’s 1,000 billionaires now have $9.3 trillion.

That's more than twice the wealth of the bottom half of America’s population, over 170 million people.

[lauren @laurelizaley]

let me get this straight: people in illinois who constantly complain about high taxes are mad that the state government refused to raise their taxes & the indiana state government which thinks taxes are theft is happy to raise taxes to provide welfare to billionaires…hmmm

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Private equity firms now own 1 in 8 American apartments — according to a new report from @PEstakeholder.

[Micah Erfan @micah_erfan]

Republicans: Use tax money to start wars and send masked thugs to kidnap people.

Democrats: Use tax money to feed kids.

Swing Voters: Hmmm, this is a really tough call.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

Let me get this straight.

Trump, the only president since Nixon not to release his tax returns, and who promised he would release his tax returns when he was president, is suing the government for $10 billion dollars in "damages" for leaked tax returns which reveal his corruption.

And his DOJ, which is run by his personal lawyer who he appointed as "Acting AG," is going to settle.

So the American people are now gong to personally pay a corrupt president $10 billion of our hard earned tax dollars, because his feelings got hurt when his shady tax returns were leaked?

Got it. 👌

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump on Iran War:

Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal?

Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

[Patrick Heizer @PatrickHeizer]

Every Democrat since Carter has decreased the federal deficit.

Every Republican since Eisenhower has increased the federal deficit.

[Dominic Pino @DominicJPino]

Imagining explaining to the Founding Fathers that the president imposed tariffs without an act of Congress and then removed them at the request of the King of England
