Unrelated to the Epstein stuff, but Trump spent a decade calling them "Fake News Media" and all the major news outlets took that as a directive to actually become fake news media.

This is why more people need to get off these streaming companies and invest in a plex or jellyfin server. Imagine paying for content that just disappears from your library because two giant corporations had a hissy fit.

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles
WASHINGTON—Despite the president’s sagging approval rating overall, a Gallup Poll released Tuesday confirmed that Donald Trump’s support remained overwhelmingly strong among working-class American pedophiles. “Even though his polling numbers among Americans who are not sexually attracted to children have hit a second-term low, the president’s approval rating is still an impressive 80% among child rapists […]

Consider this global marketplace: would you shop at the store where everything costs 25% more when you can get most products for cheaper elsewhere?
Trump: "We'll send a letter and we'll say 'we would consider it a great honor, and this is what you'll have to shop in -- we're like a department store -- to shop in the United States, and you'll pay a 25% tariff or we'll wish you a lot of luck.' And that's the end of the trade deal."

Trump gets key wins at Supreme Court on immigration, despite some misgivings
The U.S. Supreme Court swept away this week another obstacle to one of President Donald Trump's most aggressively pursued policies - mass deportation - again showing its willingness to back his hardline approach to immigration. The justices, though, have signaled some reservations with how he is carrying it out.

I've been listening to Malcolm Gladwell's Revenge of the Tipping Point, and he makes a pretty compelling argument about Harvard's admissions program. It's an elite university that created intentionally opaque admissions processes so they could discriminate against nontypical white people.

The IRS Free File pilot program helped 140K taxpayers save $5.6M in tax filing costs in 2024.
The program was supposed to be expanded, but now Trump is looking to gut it.
This is a huge handout to the tax prep industry that has lobbied for years to prevent free tax filing.
