How Elon Musk is unwittingly helping UK's Brexit reset EU sources say they expect Musk to attack other leaders after his onslaught against Starmer

Exactly this.

The rash aggression from Trump, Musk & Zuckerberg is hugely helping the UK & EU to work together on a common defensive approach to it all.

Trump’s Treasury pick rejects minimum wage hike, champions tax breaks Scott Bessent summarized the incoming administration’s perspective perfectly: Yes to tax breaks for the wealthy, no to increasing the minimum wage.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, warned of "economic calamity" if Trump's tax cuts for the rich are not extended.

But when asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25/hr, he said no.

Economic populism.

The evidence in the case of Donald Trump illegally seeking to cling to power after losing the 2020 election would have been sufficient to convict him, had his 2024 win not made it impossible for the prosecution to continue, Jack Smith, the special counsel, said in a final report. nyti.ms/4aeAn7t

More than 64,000 Palestinians may have been killed by traumatic injury in the first nine months of the war in Gaza, according to a new study. It suggests that the Hamas health ministry tally, a figure the UN relies on, is a significant undercount. nyti.ms/4fZxCIv

If you played an instrument back in high school and stopped: we are in a golden age of decent cheap instruments.

The guitars are better, the amps are better. The pedals are cheaper, the wind instruments are actually instruments and not just shaped like them, etc.

Ronald Reagan won the 1980 election against Jimmy Carter in part because he got Iran to agree not to release the Americans it was holding hostage until Reagan could take credit for their release. He was willing to risk their lives to win.

When Republicans say "America first," they mean "me first."
