Obviously Joe Biden's fault, somehow.
President Trump regularly took credit for a booming stock market during his first term, citing soaring share prices as a measure of his success. But since his inauguration in January, Trump has been relatively muted about stocks. Take a closer look at the state of the market: nyti.ms/4bt43OD

Hey Musk, if you want to eradicate wasteful & pointless positions within the US government, why not consider the Secretary of State?

Seeing whether Musk can dismantle the entire US government faster than Trump can torch decades of international respect for America is like seeing whether Superman or the Flash could win a footrace.

Zelensky is living out a horrifyingly real version of the Kobayashi Maru: Let your country be seized by an autocrat or let your country's resources be seized by a *different* autocrat, who will likely let the first one finish the job in a few years in any case. I cannot fathom how he must feel.

Given how even his most absurd nominees are sailing through Senate confirmations due to terrified Republicans, I bet Trump is fuming that his advisers didn't let him nominate Hulk Hogan for Secretary of Homeland Security or Jake Paul for Secretary of Labor like he probably wanted.

Interesting article about why X might have entered a fatal spiral for conservatives. I'm hopeful that more moderate conservatives (i.e. those who seek to debate rather than antagonise) do come to BlueSky to avoid it become the liberal echo chamber many fear.

It amuses me how every time there's a news story on a new Trump nominee, they feel the need to add that the nominee has little or no experience in whatever the position entails, as if everyone doesn't just assume that by this point.

“If I wanted to make a joke" says Sen. Murkowski "Maybe I would say now I’m waiting for George Santos to be named.”
Don't joke. I can envision Trump putting him forward for Secretary of Veterans Affairs after learning that he served in WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam *and* Operation Desert Storm.
