Today’s latest Atlanta Fed GDPNow model has revised to project even further contraction, now projecting – 2.8% (from -1.5% Feb 28). This revision triggered further revisions to the Census bureau and ISM projections for consumer spending and real private fixed investments to 0% and 0.1% respectively.
Just 30 days in office was all it took for Republicans to shift the economy from growth into recession.

We may wind up in a deep recession with rising inflation, high interest rates, supply shortages, and double digit unemployment. But gas and housing prices may finally fall. And eggs may indeed fall to below $4 a dozen for those brave enough to eat them.
A collapse of wage income can be expected to be accompanied by a collapse of income tax revenues and increases in claims for benefits. So Republicans may also get to claim another massive expansion of the debt and a collapse of services. They’ll claim it was all “inevitable” and blame Biden. The guys wailing away at the foundation of the economy with sledge hammers will call it a “woke-DEI house of cards”.
Well now that we’re caught we’re going to restore the finds for the anti-famine peanut butter.
And the employee who told y’all about it is so fired.
A recession like that will build support for lots of interventions by Republican lawmakers. They’ll leverage that support to pass legislation benefitting themselves and their campaign funders. But there will still be taxes on tips and overtime. But at least destroying the economy is one way to slow immigration demand.
They are already engaging in the entirely predictable blame Biden damage control.

@15 How about the stock markets? Thats one hell of Ponzi Scheme if you ask me.
It is not. A stock share is a claim on future earnings of a company. When the Pentagon buys F-35s from Lockheed, the company makes money, which it sends to me.
A Ponzi scheme is when a company uses new investors’ money to pay old investors to fool people into believing they’re making money when they’re not. Lockheed pays me from the profits of selling F-35s to the government and foreign buyers, not from selling stock to new investors.
Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme. So is DJT stock. So is Trump real estate. Social Security will become one after Trump and the GOP Congress overhaul the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

The Dumbfuck Nazi shares a more recent tweet of a story about another week-old tweet.
The “quality” goes in before the DOGE gets it on.
The original story source is a DOGE tweet from over a week ago.
Here’s the rest:
Endeavors won the contract with HHS in an open, competitive bid process and was responsible for maintaining operational readiness at the Pecos shelter, ensuring the ability to scale from Cold Status (operationally ready but not actively serving children) to full use of 3,000 beds as needed. The facility was not “empty”. It was staffed and ready, including oversight staffing from HHS administrators responsible for ensuring readiness and contract compliance.
Decisions for specificying the facility size, features, readiness status, and facility use and migrant sheltering locations were made by the local ICE administration.
So, does this mean you’re ready to stop hating white men?
Or do you just need a job now because you lost your cushy Senate one, Sherrod?
At this point if “white men” are unhappy they have only themselves to blame for it.
Y’all should be celebrating the win. Yet you just can’t stop crying about it. And you obviously never will.
25,
A whole lot of Texas “white men” lost their jobs because of those DOGE cuts to a child immigrant shelter program.
Why aren’t they celebrating the big win?

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/private-prison-executives-trump-deportation-immigration-enforcement_n_67c62c05e4b03c5688a7525f
By the way, it costs taxpayers a lot more to house migrants in private prisons than to house them in shelters.

Still would be passed onto consumers. Ross Dam was named after a Superintendent of City Light that clashed with Puget Power’s Mayor, Frank Edwards thought Ross had no friends, The recall effort only needed 25,000 signatures, 200,000 were presented.
34)Passing the tariffs.
Looks like Trump is reviving Jerry Ford’s “Whip Inflation Now” campaign. An “inflation czar” going on teevee saying inflation is bad brings prices down, see how that works?
Trump wants to speed up migrations, and ICE has to meet daily quotas.

China Hits U.S. Farmers with 15% Tariffs on Chicken, Corn, Cotton
March 4, 2025—China’s Ministry of Finance today unveiled a new layer of tariffs targeting U.S. agricultural exports, setting a 15% rate on chicken, corn, wheat, and cotton, and a 10% rate on soybeans, pork, beef, and other products, effective March 10. This move directly counters President Donald Trump’s decision to hike U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods to 20%, implemented at midnight today.
The U.S., meanwhile, faces a precarious moment. Farm incomes are projected to drop sharply in 2025—USDA forecasts a 25% decline in net cash income from 2023 levels—exacerbated by low commodity prices and high input costs (fertilizer, fuel).
Republicans did that.
@ 32

Further incentive to deport them, immediately. Don’t you think?
The 10-year Treasury, which closed at 4.8% a week before Bi-Done left office, is now at 4.14%.

ISLAND COUNTY: Federal grant freeze effort causes chaos
The South Whidbey School District receives over $1 million from the federal government every year. “The majority of federal funding for schools supports students in special education, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities,” he wrote in an email. “Removing funding from these students is unconscionable, as they are some of our students who need the most assistance in getting the education they are guaranteed in our nation.”
In Oak Harbor, the city is waiting for $5.8 million in federal funds for a series of infrastructure improvement projects, the city considered the possibility of having to pause, scale back or cancel projects that residents have been waiting for.
If federal funding is cut, Island County’s only domestic violence and sexual assault agency would have to close its doors, leaving vulnerable people in high-risk situations.
Republicans did that.
Why can’t Fat Hitler get hard?

Tina Peters is the batshit MAGA Nazi county clerk in rural Colorado who committed election fraud in support of The Big Lie of 2021. Last August she was convicted at trial by a unanimous jury and in October she was sentenced to 9 years in state prison at a sentencing hearing highlighted by her open mocking of and arguing with the judge who would be passing sentence upon her.
Now Fat Hitler (apparently after someone must have spent a full day teaching him using cartoons and Play Dough that his pardon powers are limited to federal convictions) is considering cutting off all federal funds from Colorado unless Jared Polis issues a full pardon. And Pam Bondi is launching a DOJ investigation of the judge.
One significant risk as we watch MAGA Nazi Republicans flush America down the toilet, is that many of these smaller, but nonetheless very significant finger rapes being committed on the rule of law will go unnoticed and largely unreported. That’s especially true now that the major corporate media companies have all agreed to look the other way.

Right now that asshole is at FCI Big Spring, a low level, honor farm in Texas where he was eventually transferred after he got stabbed 22 times in gen pop. The minute he gets a Fat Hitler pardon he’s returned to state prison where he will be placed into protective custody for the duration. Protective custody in a state run close security facility in Minnesota means either Rush City, Stillwater, or St Cloud. Believe me, he’d rather be on the farm in Texas.
FEMA response teams heading to North Carolina have been grounded and will have to try to do what they can remotely.
DOGE set the spending limits on their travel cards to $1.
@91 He can always refuse the pardon.
If Trump grants him a federal pardon, Bondi could stick him in the Federal Witness Protection program and spirit him away before state authorities get their hands on him, but they’d probably have to park him on a military base somewhere. That’s not a great life, but he might prefer Diego Garcia to state prison.

Neither of those is even a thing.
