Today marks Fibonacci Day (11/23), a date that reflects the famous numerical sequence 1, 1, 2, 3. This sequence appears in mathematics, nature, architecture, and many scientific phenomena, reminding us of the elegance and order underlying complex systems.

This past week, the Chinese learned
1) exactly where Trump's pain points are;
2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches;
and
3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president.
Highly useful information.

Literally have been telling this dude this for a very long time. Keep up, Chuck. Also: WTF are you going to do about it?
An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.
DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.
