"But the McEntarfer firing was a third rail for the business community, a constituency that Trump absolutely cannot afford to cross."
Uh-huh...well, so many "third rails" have been violated by tRump and his regime, that several groups of business economists protesting data manipulation and "kill the messenger" policies will get the predictable short shrift, with only pro forma pushback. The authoritarian juggernaut is unstoppable, laws be damned, and if tRump declares that 2 million jobs were created in August, and inflation dropped to 1.5%, what are people going to do about it? Nothing, as the right-wing noise machine will go all Orwellian and pronounce the economy as "the greatest that nobody has ever seen before!", markets continue to rise, and tariffs are increased in order to bring "trillions of dollars to our country something something".
Die Neuordnung is here, people, let's stop kidding ourselves.
Man oh man. The clown show continues.but those aren't lovable little funsters at the wheel. Bondi and her grand jury is a dangerous swerve of the car. Olowski would be hilarious if he weren't trying to get everyone to pledge fidelity to the cause. The blue states will reply in kind to Texas redistricting and if all the other states, both red and blue joined in, then history would record the nation's first Redistricting War.
I would post a 25,000 bond if Rubio would promise to leave the country and never come back. And lastly, "in my entire career, I’ve never seen economists this upset,” it takes a lot to get the green eyeshade crowd settled, but Trump pulled it off with ease.
So TACO has mobilized business economists against him. And? What if anything, other than denouncing him on Corporate and Social Media can they do? Sorry, but their action seems a lot like one of Schumer's stern letters to trump. A lot of sound, a little fury, in the end trump puts their complaints(with Schumers stern letters) in file 13
You know who criticizes Trump because they have essentially no power to do more? Us.
Criticizing Trump and doing no more when one does have power to do more: Our opposition party. Which is to say I’m sooo bored about hearing about our Democratic leaders doing nothing more than criticizing him. Besides being the least possible they can do, it’s triggering, a reminder of their complicity in bringing the current state of the nation about over the past couple of decades. It’s also a reminder how their platform (so to speak) of making promises never to be filled resulted in November’s debacle and the current mass antipathy from voters (who should know better but the media have failed them).
Let’s be clear, this is what happens when the right wing gets control of government. Of course they do so by slobbering all over the working class that economic help is on the way. Hogwash! When they gain power they stifle the press, prosecute political opponents, undermine democratic processes and norms, cut public education, terminate regulations for environmental protection, criminalize abortion, encourage racism and most of all, shift government spending and tax policy to ultra wealthy and slash social spending in favor of military build up. We have a MAGA government, White House, Congress and Supreme Court heavily tilted to Christian nationalism. So friends, what are we going to do about it???

Sadly, I concur.

Good report this Morning Memo.
