Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia?
Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie.
(Seriously, that’s the answer)

Do you have any idea how many children are in America, the liberal media never highlights all the ones who don’t die
Cornyn highlights the people who didn't die in the Texas floods: "It's a very sad time, but it's also a time when 850+ campers were accounted for and recovered ... this was a 100 year flood event ... it's just a time of very many conflicting feelings."

RFK Jr. just fired all 17 CDC vaccine advisers—experts appointed through a rigorous, bipartisan process. He’s replacing them with handpicked loyalists. This isn’t restoring trust—it’s sabotaging public health in the middle of a measles outbreak. Reckless and deadly.

Everyone should look on the bright side: We have no idea if Trump will send Seal Team Six after Gov. Newsom. But at least we know that, if Trump did it, he’d be immune from criminal prosecution for doing it.

This colloquy between @profmmurray.bsky.social and @justinwolfers.bsky.social, which took place before the Department of Homeland Security blocked Harvard University from enrolling international students, is newly relevant:
It's a rich irony that a President who is obsessed by the trade balance is blocking one of our best exports: American higher ed.
International students pay fees, create high-paying jobs, learn ideas, and spread them globally.
But they can't come without reliable visas.
