Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.

Yesterday, the United States had its biggest protest in history. But when I look at the New York Times website, I discover that it never happened.

Disinvestment from the US apppears to be gathering momentum US Treasuries Slide With Selloff Worst Since 2019 Repo Blowout

Keep selling rallies in US assets and the USD. The divestment has only just begun.

Here's a quick update to the @budgetlab.bsky.social tariff tracker to incorporate the add'l 50% US tariffs on China & China's add'l retaliation. • The average effective US tariff rate is now 26.8%, the highest since 1903. • US real GDP growth is -1.1pp lower over 2025. 1/3

What is the bull case? That the tariffs are abandoned, that consumer sentiment recovers, and that everyone goes back to thinking that the US is the best place to invest?

I'm so cross I didn't think of this nickname, damn.

This is the best refutal of Trump's lies about Russian & Ukraine that I have seen. Interesting that it is done by Bernie Sanders. Where are other US politicians? youtu.be/rKBM2kS6B8o

Oops: Trump-Musk Cuts Just Wrecked an NIH Org Championed by GOPers

Republicans once lavished praise on an NIH center that deals with Alzheimer’s. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are hobbling it. What will those Republicans say now?
