Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”
Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

"To Trump, Reagan’s composed performance, with its affirmation of consensus, is almost intolerable. It must be discredited not because it is inaccurate but because it represents an entirely different model of what presidential authority looks like." -Jake Lundberg

Why a Reagan Ad Provoked Trump
Canada’s anti-tariff ad was an incursion in the trade war, but there’s another reason it may have bothered Trump.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

one problem with tech CEOs all being fascist ass kissers now is that if the DOJ serves some wildly overbroad subpoena on Amazon for the account info of everyone who bought an inflatable costume in the U.S. since mid-Sept, we can't be sure the legal team reporting to Jeff Bezos will move to quash it

In our non-DEI meritocracy, Larry Ellison's son bought CBS so that Bari Weiss could then put her sister on air.
UPDATE: Per our scoop last night, Suzy Weiss, sister of Bari, did indeed appear on CBS this morning to talk about her recent article in The Free Press.

Do you remember riding in the back seat of the car with your sibling when you were a kid? And at some point, your sibling would decide to get annoying and do the "I'm not touching you!" thing, with their finger like a millimeter away from your arm, your torso, your face, whatever?

We should mandate a work requirement for House Republicans to get their health care. How about they have to work at least one week a month to keep their government health insurance?

Catholic priests and bishops have been trying for months to visit people held in the ICE detention center just outside Chicago. Why are they being blocked? What harm could it possibly do? What are they hiding?

"I urge you: never sell out your authority"
News agencies deliver a service which “requires competence, courage and a sense of ethics”.

He can’t take tariff money and give it to anyone, so that is bs. Congress has to pass another farm bailout bill just like they had to the last time Trump wrecked their businesses. So farmers will have to embrace socialism again since they can’t compete in market capitalism.
