BREAM: The Journal says percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest in 15 years. People are using them for necessities. Your message to them?
HASSETT: We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them. People are taking a bit longer.

When it comes to the ecological toll of war, we all pay it. The bombing of oil refineries or just about anything else is an ecological disaster that the world simply cannot bear.

“If [wealthy, powerful people] can get us to accept that the future’s already settled, AI is already here, the end is already here, then we will create that for them. My most daring idea is to refuse.” — @tressiemcphd.bsky.social
New: Internal tension at the Associated Press over use of AI. One of the AP newsroom leaders leading the company's AI initiatives told staff that many editors preferred an AI-written article to a human one, and told them when it comes to using AI in the newsroom "resistance is futile."

Describing this ICE rapist guy as having a "relationship" with a prisoner is pretty low, even for a rag like nola.com.

At Menards hardware store in Cicero, IL
It's a major hardware chain throughout the Midwest.
Look at Trump's masked thugs shattering the truck windows and dragging a man off to an unmarked car.
Menards told employees to delete any videos they took of the ICE raid—or they would be fired.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows
The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

It is genuinely humiliating as an America to have this sour, cowardly, narcissistic lout represent us and to know that so many Americans applaud conduct like this. Just deeply embarrassing.
REPORTER: How much wealthier are you now than when you returned to the WH?
TRUMP: The deals I made for the most part, other than what my kids are doing - they're running my business - were made before. Where are you from?
R: Australia
T: In my opinion you are hurting Australia right now. Quiet.

Broken human beings.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.
Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?
Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning.
Please take care when watching.
