Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.

These are the tariffs of the Republican Party-not just Trump. Congress voted to give Trump the authority to do this, & can vote to repeal them at any time. But they won’t, even though many know this will be a disaster, because they are afraid of Trump. So now they own this mess.

Poland won't sit still. God willing Germany and France won't sit still.
I have no doubt that Trump has plans (or possibly orders from Moscow) to backstab NATO in case of an invasion into the Baltic states.
As an American, let me say I'm sorry that my country is poised to betray central Europe.

We're not just compromising Ukraine—we're writing the script for future aggressors. China sees a green light for Taiwan. North Korea learns that nuclear threats pay dividends. And Russia? They're discovering that patience and brutality eventually wear down Western support.

Absolutely loved your conversation on the Making Sense podcast.
Huge Sam Harris fan - but mostly because he operates in good faith and brings on smart people who will sensibly disagree. I really loved hearing you smartly challenge him and also shake up my views.
Brilliant!

The underlying problem with politics:
You don't need to be on the same page with your conclusions.
You need to be at least roughly on the same page with your methods.

Yes, and let me explain two axioms I have regarding this, and one conclusion:
1: Some people just believe whatever makes them comfortable.
2: Those people are most people.
Ergo: We're fucked.

Remember when everyone was like "OMG how does Elon Musk have the time to run all these companies!"
And now he's like "No it's fine, I totally have time to sit around Mar-a-Lago and constantly engage in petty Twitter fights. What's more - I spend enough time on Diablo to be a "top 20" player!"
