Wouldn’t be surprised if Kimberly Clark was in on it just to devalue the stock right before purchasing Tylenol’s parent company (with Trump getting a kickback, of course).

Anyone who didn’t have brain worms or mercury poisoning knew Trump and RFK Jr. were full of shit.
For the life of me, I still don’t know why Tylenol didn’t sue.

There’s real irony in this: lawmakers can’t get back to DC to vote to reopen the government because flights are canceled, thanks to the same shutdown they caused.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

This point absolutely correct and I will add that Mamdani demonstrates that an insurgency, even one with real moral clarity and anger at the status quo, can still be cheerful and inviting.

If I may offer a thought from my many decades in Brazil. Life under the center left (Lula) or the center right (FHC) is much better than under right wing MAGA zealots (Bolsonaro). Trust me on this

Batteries are coming to Europe. Earlier this year Europe’s largest battery storage site went live at Blackhillock, Scotland.
The facility has a capacity of 300MW/600MWh.
Much larger batteries are under development: A huge 1 GW / 4 GWh system is being constructed in Jänschwalde, Germany.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.
