Tell Bessent he’s only allowed to have one house and see how he reacts.
Bessent says that little girls who are sad about having fewer dolls should just have it explained to them that they will have a better life for it

"It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order.

He did this with the enthusiastic support of the entire Republican party and conservative movement ... the support of a plurality of American voters."

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

At some point, the answer to “you absolute fool, you fucking imbecile, they aren’t Russian assets, they simply behave identically to people who are Russian assets in every conceivable way” is “who fukkin cares if there’s no functional difference?”

I didn’t think the Democrats were going to save us, per se, but I did not expect them to lie down on the floor and mildly complain about the smart heels of the fascists trodding upon them.

AOC has them sputtering mad because she’s educating people on constitutional rights. You don’t see them freaking out at Jeffries for talking about egg prices.

Trump is blocking the Associated Press from the Oval Office. Rather than stand up for freedom of the press, the rest of legacy media is taking advantage of AP's absence.

When this inevitably leads to AP cutbacks, the same legacy media will lament the plight of media decline.
