Liz Peek thinks that Democrats should be all for using tariffs (a regressive tax) to pay for Trump tax cuts (for the rich).

She ignores the fact that he also cut the IRS workforce, when literally everyone knows at least 2 people who CHEAT ON THEIR FUCKING TAXES.

Oklahoma senator Mullin threads the needle in teaching trump economics.

"Trump knows everything about the economy, so of course he knows that tariffs are a tax on consumers."

Yeah, let's let the guy who said his cars would be self driving like a decade ago, but are still running into shit, take over the upgrade of air traffic control.

People freaking out about deepseek is ridiculous. We are not at the "my AI is smart enough" moment.

This means that we are still in the "we will use all available compute and continue to buy more compute" era.

I'm already up 6% on my nvda trade in less than 24h.

Just bought a shit ton of NVDA because I know from experience how leaky technology sanctions are, and I know that Deepseek would have gotten in serious trouble with the Chinese government if they let it be known that they were sitting on tens of thousands of banned H100s.

...aaand now Donald knows what tariffs do to the stock market.

Trump wants to get rid of FEMA and let states do it for themselves.

FYI, blue states have fewer natural distasters and more money to spend on repairs.

So...

On, Fox, Trump says Zelensky should have just given Russia the land instead of fight. Said he would have done that had it been him.

A. They tried that and Russia came back for more.

B. I guess Russia will be invading Alaska now.

Trump freezes payments for the infrastructure investment and jobs act.

So is this anti-infrastructure week?

So offshore "windmills" are ugly, but drilling platforms are beautiful.

Got it.

Trump thinks the bishop was "nasty in tone". If you actually view the comments, she was respectfully pleading that the country engage in Christlike behavior.

It only sounds nasty if you're the opposite of Christlike.

So, we get Canada and Greenland.

That's 14 new states, 28 senators, probably 10 percent of the House.

I wonder if they will vote republican?...

As someone who's created and sold a startup, the goal of a startup is to have at least a 40% chance of not being a complete failure.

So, having a startup CEO doing radical things with Your. Fucking. Country. means you have a 60 percent chance of complete failure.

What is it about senators and congresspeople that makes them work until they're 80? That job does not take more experience than, say, a tech CEO job but those people retire in their sixties.
