The Trump tariffs are "stackable," and so average tariff rates are higher than you're seeing in most media reports. Lemme 'splain.

They’re the Capitol of the Hunger Games.
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

I can’t believe this is real! It’s like the worst caricature of how the right says Soros does politics.
In a video posted by Elon Musk’s PAC, a $1M check recipient linked voting to receiving the money:

“My name’s Ekaterina Deistler. …I did exactly what Elon Musk told everyone to do: sign the petition, refer friends and family, vote, and now I have a million dollars.”

I think Tulsi Gabbard should be checked for Alzheimer’s. She seems to be forgetting a lot of things.

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

You cannot make this shit up. Sharing this jaw-dropping story with a gift link -- give it a read.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This should immediately disqualify Hegseth from being the Secretary of Defense. Who knows who else is getting info of US’s military operations from him via text?

It’s a shame that our GOP government is a laughingstock and will probably praise him for this.

Mia Love died today. She was so young, but she achieved so much as the first black Republican congresswoman. Tho we don’t agree on politics, I hope that she had a peaceful passing and that her family is comforted during this difficult time. #utpol #mialove

Borders added and it’s now on the frame. Just thinking of what pattern to put on the border now… #quiltsky #longarm

I hate the Utah caucus system. In theory, it’s a system that could work if everyone was educated abt it. But there are so many people in Utah who aren’t, which allows extremists to corrupt it.

Just look at the 2024 gubernatorial race. It showed how the system just doesn’t work. #utpol

Trump and Musk attack the FAA — and planes fall out of the sky.

Trump and Musk attack the National Weather Service — and dozens die from tornados.

Trump and Musk cut USAID — and 3.5 million people will die around the world.

They’re bumbling around, and people are DYING.

Even if Elon steps down as CEO of Tesla, he still owns it and has shares in it. People should boycott until he completely detaches himself from the company.
