Trump Says Recession Unfortunate But Necessary Step To Get To Depression

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

As a result of these days, we see clear support from Europe. Even more unity, even more willingness to cooperate.

Everyone is united on the main issue – for peace to be real, we need real security guarantees. And this is the position of all of Europe – the entire continent. The United Kingdom, the European Union, Türkiye.

Of course, we understand the importance of America, and we are grateful for all the support we’ve received from the United States. There has not been a day when we haven’t felt gratitude. It’s gratitude for the preservation of our independence – our resilience in Ukraine is based on what our partners are doing for us – and for their own security.

What we need is peace, not endless war. And that’s why we say security guarantees are the key to this.

Trump wants to cut the corporate tax rate to 15%. This would give...

-The 5 largest banks a $4.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest drug makers a $3.1B tax cut
-The 5 largest US oil companies a $2.5B tax cut
-The 5 largest grocery stores a $1.7B tax cut

Some populist, huh?

81 years ago today, President Roosevelt proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I can see why he couldn't choose. These are all fantastic.

Spotify laid off 17% of its workforce in 2023, while reportedly paying artists just $0.003 per stream.

In 2024, the company hit record profits while its CEO's net worth jumped to $7 billion.

Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

@MadameDM_DND As a fellow Pratchett fan, I like this take. I think that Susan would be an Oath of the Ancients Paladin.

@dabbinbeebs I just picked up Planet Coaster 2 and so far it fits the bill. My perennial answer to this question is Minecraft.

I needed to hear this, and I suspect some of you do as well.

I know we’re exhausted, disheartened, and rightly terrified. But we’ve been here before. We’ve fought, resisted, and built—together. Today, I’m reflecting on where we go from here and how we keep moving forward.

Countless Americans are endangered now on a scale and intensity almost unheard of in modern America. Our first responsibility is to protect these people and resist these forces.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
