The utility of social media is over and until then you should trust nothing and consider it a weapon and a drug.
She's out of her depth. You can see her theatrics break down when she starts pointing. It's all manufactured and it's all performative.
wow -- Bondi throws a fit in response to Nadler's question about how many of Epstein's co-conspirators, if any, she's investigating, aggressively pointing at him and yelling. The hearing then devolves into chaos and Raskin and Bondi start yelling at each other.

By the way, you know he’s later going to claim that he “saved the Stanley Cup” and Canada wouldn’t even be playing hockey anymore without him.
I don’t know exactly what tortured rationale he will come up with in his twisted brain to claim that, but it’s coming.

Pirro should be impeached just for attempting to get an indictment against members of Congress for speech.
Her incompetence is actually useful right now because it negates her malevolence.

America desperately needs a functioning and independent House as a check on Trump’s chaos and mania. It will never have that as long as Mike Johnson is Speaker. Every vote for a House Republican is a vote to give Trump unchecked power for two more years.

Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.
And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

ICE's Masks Are All a Lie
Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

Reminder that this is a *friendly* question from a GOP Senator — and Lutnick still fumbles it all!

there are two things about this, one is that there is no prime minister of switzerland, he's talking about the president of the swiss confederation, which is a different thing entirely, and, two, i'm not sure you could make a more persuasive case to SCOTUS for nuking tariffs than this one
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

If ARM drops below some level (unclear) it will trigger margin calls for SoftBank (3rd largest company on Japanese stock market), which will send the markets into chaos, which will directly hit the two largest data center funders in the world (MUFJ, SMBC, both in the top 6).

I get that things are grim and terrifying. Take it from me as someone who reads about the core economics constantly: even if your strategy was literally to crash the global economy, you don’t need all the data centers. You just need to short ARM aggressively and trigger a default at SoftBank
