This is a great read.
What is Mr. Trump really costing us? A lot. Not the least of which, our daughters. The consequences of his influence are real, tragic and will endure for generations to come. The end of my family's American story is now part of his legacy, and his alone.

It’s really hard to describe how insane this story is.

Of course Patel went snorkeling over the USS Arizona - that’s what happens when you put an irreverent internet troll in charge of a government agency.

Disrespectful assclown.

Among Lutnick's other lies, he now claims he was wrong about Epstein recording guests and using this to blackmail them, after previously calling Epstein the "greatest blackmailer ever." Apparently someone in the admin leaned on him to stop saying that. I wonder why?

I will not be lectured about Swalwell — or anything, really — by anyone who still supports Donald Trump after he was found liable for sexual abuse.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It’s frustrating, but not unexpected, that the administration has continued to downplay China and Russia’s involvement in helping Iran target US troops.

If/when this ceasefire fails, I would expect to see a big initial strike from Iran - they’ve had plenty of time to plan.

A network of private AI schools has expanded to 22 locations across the country.

Alpha Schools, founded by MacKenzie Price and private equity billionaire Joe Liemandt, uses AI “guides” instead of teachers.

Tuition goes as high as $65k a year.

What a fucking embarrassment.

Trump says part of the reason he’s pushing for Greenland is that he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize, so now he doesn’t think “purely of peace”

Looking forward to Mike Johnson not seeing this letter until 2050.

citizen you have exceeded your pencil allotment this year. prepare to die
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Brown University accepted nearly equal numbers of male and female students, but got almost twice as many female applicants. That math meant it was easier for men to get in.

Pretty clear that a lot of people jumped the gun on the motive behind Kirk’s assassination. The shooter:

1. Grew up in a Republican family
2. Donated to Donald Trump
3. Loved guns
4. Was steeped in Groyper culture

This isn’t a simple “raging leftist hated Kirk” scenario.

“Trump had nothing to do with Epstein”

“Trump was a confidential informant that helped take Epstein down”

“Releasing the Epstein files will destroy the Democrats”

Then why the fuck is Trump threatening to primary the Republicans who are trying to release them?

Reality: that “extra revenue” is higher costs paid by regular American consumers & businesses, and the “tax relief” is going to the rich not you.
