Opinion | In three consecutive elections, the Republicans have nominated a 6x bankrupt sexual abuser who is now a convicted felon. But in four of the past five elections, the Democrats have nominated a woman and/or minority. Our two-party system is broken.

This is a very big deal. Trump is systematically dismantling the protections against foreign (e.g. Russian) interference in our elections.

It looks like the WSJ cracked the mystery about what RFK Jr was after when he said he was allegedly denied data by "defiant bureaucrats". Ousted vaccine chief Peter Marks said RFK's team wanted data on cases of brain swelling and deaths caused by the measles vax. No such cases exist in the US.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff
