Chinese leader Xi Jinping called on the leaders of countries including Russia, Iran and India to integrate their economies and build an “orderly multipolar world,” as he tried to unite them in their shared grievances with the policies of President Trump.

“Democrats can’t win these folks over if they’re not speaking the language that young men are speaking,” says @ilyseh.bsky.social. “Most people I talked to, Democratic operatives, have never heard of Red Pill Fitness, which is just huge online.”
Democrats set out to study young men. Here are their findings.
A widely mocked project to get under the hood about why Democrats are losing young men has sobering results.

The real pain in the big bad bill is backloaded for after the midterms. That creates a messaging hurdle for getting through to voters what's happening. But voters already hate this legislation. The knife in the messaging just has to be made sharp. This WaPo chart is a useful guide.

BREAKING: DOGE is starting to put together a team to migrate the SSA's computer systems entirely off one of its oldest programming languages in a matter of months, potentially putting the integrity of the system—and the benefits on which tens of millions of Americans rely—at risk.
DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Codebase In Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse
Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

It’s a casual #thirstythursday in Carmel-by-the-Sea tonight.

I’m highlighting one of the most unique Japanese restaurants that I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing. Toro Sushi’s expansive sake and wine list includes 600 bottles of sake, wine, and champagne. 🍶

Cheers! 🥂

Ukrainians Are in Shock
What other reaction can there be when America turns against its allies, its values, itself?
