After Biden just about had inflation tamed, it is spiking today, the hottest number since early 2022. You can thank Donald Trump and his ill advised rhetoric and policies. Fools that thought he would fix this!

OMG, YES! I have 2 sons: 18 & 20, this is the shit they consume. They even listen to Joe Rogan, they think he’s an idiot, but they listen to make fun of him. I love BlueSky, & my boys share our beliefs, but they will never be on this platform. If the Dems don’t figure this out, we’re fucked.
Lots of people commenting without having watched it. It’s not about agreeing or disagreeing with him. It’s understanding reality.

This is the SEMINAL POLITICAL PODCAST of 2025. Podcasts like this are EXACTLY how young men will consume and understand politics.
Dem strategists should study every single second of it and recognize this is their new reality for reaching young men. Guaranteed.

Ross Ulbricht - Trump-pardoned founder of the Dark Web commerce site Silk Road - is a libertarian hero precisely because he made it easier for people to buy drugs. Trump is an anti-drug hardliner. This seems like a tension that should be exploited.

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet
Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.
The assault on NIH is a test for how the national media covers the Trump admin: Trump is shutting down medical research!
That is easy to communicate. Will they treat it as a 5 alarm fire in a way that forces the government to respond, or will they downplay & caveat it?

I completely understand TikTok creators being upset that they are losing income. I don’t understand being upset at Dems when Trump & Rs are the ones who started this. Now they suddenly reverse their position to enrich themselves. Wake up, open your eyes, you’re being conned.

Ultra-wealthy elites. Political corruption. Corporate monopolies. Anti-immigrant nativism. Vast inequality.
These problems aren’t new. In the late 1800s, they dominated the country during America’s first Gilded Age.
We overcame these abuses then, and we can do so again.
