I don't understand why there isn't an antidote to Project 2025 being written by Dems. Are all the smart people too attached to their own money? What the hell? Why isn't there a portrait of Democrats sitting around a campfire with cigars, figuring out how to save America?

Dear Canadians,

If PP is this controlling, inaccessible, and openly hostile to media while campaigning to get people to like him, how much transparency would you expect from him as Prime Minister?

Wall Street is talking about stagflation, a combination of stagnant growth and elevated inflation.

The real risk is not just that stagflation could arrive, but that the usual policy tools to fight it won't be in play.

Can’t recall seeing a wind map for the UK & Ireland like this before. Could be the worst storm for decades.

Pressure falling below 940mb, equivalent to a Cat 4 hurricane.

Ireland just recorded is strongest wind speed ever (115mph)
