I’m old enough to remember when DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin tried to pick a fight with @teamsters.bsky.social President Sean O’Brien in the middle of a Senate hearing. Exactly the kind of temperament DHS needs now.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Why did Chinese scientists in 1975 embark on an expedition to discover mermaids?
My new #ChinaComx translation offers answers! It is also a great example of how the Reform Era drive toward mass science popularization was realized on small scale.

THUNE: There's some open conversations around tariffs
REPORTER: Does Congress need to reassert itself?
THUNE: Yes, but there are examples where Congress has delegated some of that authority to the executive branch
A Las Vegas souvenir shop owner says tariffs on Chinese imports are hurting his business more than the COVID-19 pandemic did.
I would switch “all” for “much.” It’s not just that tariffs are regressive, but that progressive income taxes have important incentive and efficiency effects (anti-rent seeking) in addition to equity effects... Which is not to say tariffs don’t have a place, just not a big revenue raising tool.
The @nytimes.com is failing, but not in the way Donald Trump thinks www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u... #SOTU
"Only the liberal justices understood how to carve a middle path that was faithful to Congress & the Constitution, bc they are the only ones left on this Court who understand why they're there. They’re not there to get more power for the Supreme Court. They’re not there to give more power to Trump."
Top 6 problems with Kash Patel partying with the men’s Olympic hockey team:
- a collapsing FBI denial
- haunted by his Chris Wray criticisms
- wasting taxpayer resources
- he has more important work to do
- latest in a series of abuses
- fresh harm to tarnished reputation www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Lo and behold, Trump announces 10% across the board tariff under 122 and promises slew of new investigations under 232 and 301.
Trump: "I want to be a good boy."

The 6 justices in the majority are very unpatriotic and unloyal [sic] to the Constitution.

Trump on SCOTUS decision: Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh showed how much they love the country by voting to green light the President’s illegal trade chaos.
CNN: Apparently the breakfast had been going well. Then Trump became enraged. He started ranting about the decision, not only calling it a disgrace, but started attacking the courts at one point saying: these f’ing courts
SCOTUS says no IEEPA tariffs for you: 6-3.
Now the administration will look to Sections 122, 232, and 301 to impose tariffs. 122, balance of payments emergency, can be used unilaterally; 232 and 301 require prescribed processes: investigations and determinations, public comment, etc.
The Trump White House and @cbsnews.com don't want you to see this @colbertlateshow.bsky.social interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering
The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

NATIONAL ORIGINS. SO... ...if YOU hear anybody talk against a schoolmate or anyone else because of his religion, race or national origin-don't wait: tell him THAT KIND OF TALK IS UN-AMERICAN. HELP KEEP YOUR SCHOOL ALL AMERICAN!
Particularly hilarious is his claim that 'nobody dies to defend a "multicultural economic zone"' when in fact a lot of US propaganda during WWII stressed that the nation is a multicultural melting pot. That was how we were going to defeat the master race...the one Musk is pining for.
Propaganda during WWI and WWII in fact
