A reference to a chief editor’s tweet saying AR rifles were designed for the Nazis (Armalite was founded in the 50’s), and another journalist’s critique of the one entrance during instruction hours policies. Tell me again why we should value the opinions of journalists.
On a side note, the more we learn about the Uvalde shootings, the more we learn that adults failed those kids. Especially the officers. No one appears to be praising the Border Patrol officers, strangely enough. Apparently it goes against the narrative.

Approval is recovering! Like gas prices that one time.

Seems like a pattern.

Math seems extraordinarily hard for this administration.

Clever, neo.
8:30 am Initial jobless claims May 14 218,000 200,000 197,000 8:30 am Continuing jobless claims May 7 1.32 million — 1.34 million 8:30 am Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index May 2.6 15.0 17.6 Not terribly off expectations, although the Biden administration has been touting the low initial jobless claims. Unfortunately, I don’t think the economy is doing well.

As for that last number… “This labor market pain echoes weakness seen in recent survey data – such as ISM Manufacturing and Empire Fed and this morning we saw Philly Fed’s Business Outlook survey plunge from 17.6 to 2.6 (massively missing expectations of 15.0).”
Sen. Rick Scott’s plan to “Rescue America” is one of the worst self-owns I’ve ever seen. Why is he in charge of the push to capture Senate seats? I think Joe Biden says every day that Republicans plan on raising your taxes, citing Rick Scott’s plan. It’s the brilliant thing about progressive tax systems… you can’t cut taxes without giving tax relief to the rich, and if you really want to raise revenue, you kind of have to get some out of the middle class, because of the numbers of taxpayers.
Joe Biden is now blaming "ultra-MAGA"?? for inflation.
Here's a partial list of Biden's prior explanations for inflation:
-There's no inflation
-It's transitory
-High-class problem
-Just a delayed treadmill
-Chicken farmers
-COVID
-Big oil
-Corporate greed
-Putin price hike pic.twitter.com/yrNrhRZoEf— Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) May 9, 2022
*shrug* I remember when the press kept a running “ticker” of a President’s lies and excuses, and claimed that the President never took responsibility for problems.

Huh. Interesting thread from an observer with a complicated history with the US government.
On the afternoon of Election Day, Hannity texted Meadows at 1:36 p.m. to ask about turnout in North Carolina. Two hours later, Meadows responded: “Stress every vote matters. Get out and vote. On radio.”“Yes sir,” Hannity replied. “On it. Any place in particular we need a push.”“Pennsylvania. NC AZ,” Meadows wrote, adding: “Nevada.”“Got it. Everywhere,” Hannity said.Are you just cranking out Aaron Rupar takes (taking things out of context and using misleading edits)? Is Hannity asking for directions to suppress stories, hide facts, or push lies in this context? No. He’s being lazy, and asking the obvious (what states are close) and what states Hannity should push turnout. After reading the CNN article, I’m not sure that this is the dunk that you, or CNN, thought it was.As for Cuomo, CNN, consistent with journalistic ethics, put a firewall between Chris Cuomo and Andrew Cuomo. That firewall was promptly ignored. Not only ignored, but Chris Cuomo gave Andrew Cuomo advice on how to suppress the truth. I’ll let cardcrimson defend his own points, but we’ll see how that lawsuit shakes out. I predict there will be a settlement, because if the discovery starts leaking, it won’t be good for CNN.https://technofog.substack.com/p/durhams-latest-he-has-hundreds-of?s=w
How about e-mails between Fusion GPS / Hillary campaign and Slate, ABC News, the NY Times, and the Washington Post? Included are e-mails where reporters from the Post specifically say their sources in Russia think the Steele Dossier is full of false information… and yet they pushed it for three years.
The left’s ideology is not popular among the broader community (it is popular among the coastal elites and the media). Once people heard what was actually in the bill, it was overwhelmingly popular. I’m less sure about the move to strip Disney of its tax breaks, because I’m not sure how the law of unintended consequences plays out here.
Of course, this leads us to the unmasking of the LibsofTikTok account, a previously anonymous account that reposted TikToks by (mostly) teachers where they admit attempting to politicize students / teach gender ideology and sexuality to children. Taylor Lorenz, a “journalist” who two weeks ago went on MSNBC about “online bullying” and broke down in tears. She then threw MSNBC under the bus when people made fun of her crocodile tears, saying that the MSNBC clip being released resulted in her being cyberbullied. I use crocodile tears because of how she can dish it out, but can’t take ANY criticism (and she’s constantly been wrong). Anyhow, Taylor Lorenz outed an anonymous account, including knocking on the doors of relatives, and then the Washington Post lied about exposing personal information. Brian Stelter, professional narrative launderer, then interviewed her so she could get out her justifications.
NEW: Taylor Lorenz says it's "patently false" that her Libs of TikTok story linked to any personal info despite the WaPo admitting it had removed a link (the paper said it was just "professional" info).

How thin-skinned is she? She doesn’t allow the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to archive her tweets. Probably because then there’s no record of her being wrong.
Taylor Lorenz's Twitter feed has been "excluded" from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.

As for DeSouza, he was convicted of illegal bundling / campaign contributions. Look closely at how the Democrats / elites protect their own when they finance their campaigns. Whether “2000 Mules” holds up, we’ll see. As far as I know, there haven’t been any prosecutions based on the evidence.
Read this for your answer.
We took away a bunch of people’s support structures and access to healthy coping measures and shamed them if they sought them out, barred them from in-person (or any) treatment, school, jobs, sports, gyms.🤷🏻♀️ https://t.co/I1JjbAiXw2

Ms. Hammer is correct. Dr. Wen, who helped peddle masking, lockdowns, etc., is also correct, but has zero self-awareness of the why, which is plainly obvious. If you make the cure worse than the disease (especially true during Omicron), this is the result. We have yet to see the ramifications of how we treated children.
In this context, the Justice Department represents the client agency. Unless there is no legal basis / arguments to make, then the Department of Justice must represent the client agency’s legal (and political) position. There have been cases where the government abandoned a position after the administration changed, and the Court appointed counsel to represent the position. Blame HHS (Becerra, who first floated the idea of appealing) and the CDC.
Also, where’s the Department of Transportation in all this? Wouldn’t this be under their jurisdiction? Actually, I believe that this was part of the judge’s decision, but let’s be honest, Pete Buttigieg is a disaster as Secretary of Transportation.

Only 8% underwater in this tracking poll. Comeback!

Don’t forget they changed the formula and the basket of goods. Volcker was willing to play the villain. It worked, though, after the pain.
