New in PN: Tariff Man's new assault on Canada is his dumbest yet

"The legal basis is a century-old statute commonly associated w/Ferris Bueller’s Day Off &, before that, the Great Depression. And if courts let him use it the way he’s threatening, he’ll be free to wreak havoc on the global economy."

He should be asked two questions, 1. Define communism. 2. What bills have democrats authored that are comnumist policies?
He is insane. Full stop. There is NO scenario in which this country would ever become communist. It is just their latest fear tactic because the socialism scare wasn't working.

This is crazy to be happening in 2026. The US has now recorded more measles cases this year than in any year since 1991, marking the highest total in 35 years. As of today, the country had reported 2,295 confirmed measles cases, according to the Johns Hopkins University U.S. Measles Tracker.

Intentionally concealing the death of a U.S. senator to manipulate legislative business or the succession process could expose those involved to serious federal criminal charges.

No one gets to hide a death for political gain.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure.

Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Elon Musk is a South African who came to the US under a fraudulently secured student visa to study at Stanford (he never enrolled). Through further fraud, he secured a green card and then was naturalized as a US citizen. His US citizenship can be revoked. He also holds a Canadian passport.

The Trump administration has approved the use of cancer-linked pesticide trifludimoxazin, a PFAS forever chemical.

This is the fifth PFAS pesticide approved for use on food crops during Trump's second term.

In the same week that he became the world's first trillionaire, he spent hours on X whipping up a racist mob in Belfast, a week after doing the same in Southampton.

In effect, he's sending a message to lawmakers and regulators who may want to rein in his companies.
I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation.

Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.
