More fun with Trumpy numbers.
He's floated sending $2,000 checks to every household, "except rich ones," whatever that means, financed by tariff revenues.
It would cost $265 billion. Tariff revenue since Liberation Day has totaled $151 billion.
Bit of a shortfall.

I've noticed that there isn't much talk here about the current internecine war that is unfolding on the right, spearheaded in large part by Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, and Candace Owens after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I know this shit is insane and feels bad. But this is a mistake (1/)

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I missed this when it came out in July but it's quite good. Though John Carney is on the right in some sense, he used to subscribe to my newsletter, and this piece is quite sound, as we used to say in the Party of the Right.
