Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.

How?
By inflating healthcare cost prioritizing profits over people, & leaving us with sky-high bills

Trump’s closing message is a full blown hate campaign against black and brown people. Historians will look back in astonishment that this terrifying reality wasn’t the subject of wall to wall coverage and commentary in weeks leading up to this election. He’s not hiding anything.

I recall inflation over 2% being the most important issue in American history, but now that consumers expect 4.3% inflation over the next year (highest since Nov 2023) and the bond market expects 2.57% inflation over 5 years (highest since Mar 2023), it's no biggie.

The Trump administration not only fired Coast Guard Admiral Linda Fagan, but a Trump official told her she had only three hours to vacate her house.
Don’t ever tell me Republicans support the military.

YOU DON'T AUDIT AT THE PAYMENT PROCESSING LEVEL YOU AUDIT AT THE DEPT LEVEL. In what universe would you be in the payments system for ANY reason other than to (illegally) directly turn off payments?? None, ziltch, zero. This crisis is far from over.
It gets worse: Trump's Treasury Dept has a new letter spinning Musk's access to payment data as a mere "audit" that expands on work done during Biden admin. It's a sham. The letter simply ignores the biggest questions about this scandal.
