YIMBY and abundance are good, but need to be combined with billionaire wealth taxes and antitrust. Success is good, monopolist oligarchs are bad.
This is all wrong. Johnson was asked about his Christian faith and clearly responded he hasn't heard about that, doesn't know anything about it, and is very busy...getting busy with himself.

Everyone in America needs to read this FREE—I’ve gifted it below—report from the conservative WALL STREET JOURNAL about Trump and Epstein.

Apparently the president has now threatened to sue the WSJ over this 100% accurate report due to how damaging it is.
Exclusive | Jeffrey Epstein’s Friends Sent Him Bawdy Letters for a 50th Birthday Album. One Was From Donald Trump.
The leather-bound book was compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. The president says the letter ‘is a fake thing.’

We need a streaming show/movie that follows ICE agents in these times. Title it "Cold as ICE" and intro it with the Foreigner song over a montage of actual raid clips. Plot follows 3 agents over Season 1. First 4 episodes they are the "protagonists" out on raids that are based on real events. 1/

Forget touching the stove, Trump just climbed into the damn oven.

Listening to this Trump speech and struggling to not liquidated most of my portfolio. Tripling down on Tarrifs and boxing Congress into a shutdown. So at least a month of falling prices and the markets are about to find a whole new gear of downward momentum in the morning. Just wow...

The cruelty is real, but the incompetence is equally strong in MAGA/DOGE land. A lot of low info, non-MAGA Trump voters were likely willing to ignore the cruelty in the mistaken hope for economic competence. Break that view on any competence and the GOP is just the ~25% of voters thst want cruelty.
BREAKING: The USDA, under DOGE orders, has accidentally fired staff working to combat bird flu. It’s now trying to rehire them.

It follows the accidental firing of nuclear safety staff last Friday.

And the accidental firing of FAA’s experienced aviation safety staff.

Incompetence will be deadly.
USDA says it accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is trying to rehire them
In a statement, an Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."
