How markets see things:
The pro-growth stuff that will be difficult to get through a 218ish-215ish House is definitely going to happen, and the anti-growth stuff he’s been saying forever that he’ll do and which he can do unilaterally on day 1 is a bluff for negotiating purposes.

This is a child's approach to trade relations.
You all MOCKED George Lucas and said this was boring or dumb but who’s laughing now???
A graph titled "Cost of Transport" showing the relationship between body weight (in kilograms) and energy consumption for distance traveled (calories per gram per kilometer) for various animals and machines. It highlights that a person on a bicycle ranks first in efficiency.

Resulta que los crematorios móviles no eran para incinerar a los soldados rusos muertos en combate: ¡eran para exterminar civiles ucranianos! Putin y su régimen deben ser aplastados sin contemplaciones.
Do you think if the report DIDNT say Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for rape, the GOP would vote no on releasing?

holy shit they actually remembered which department sets tariffs and didn't give Treasury to Lutnick, we're so doomed
Hey @bsky.app having “bsky.social” at the end of every username makes your product a lot worse, it just looks ugly to the user.
Whether it's Tim Walz expanding his state's school lunch program or Matt Gaetz giving cocaine and Ecstasy to underage sex workers, both sides have taken controversial approaches to feeding children.

A lethal strain of Bird Flu is ravaging the United States.
Health Secretary, RFK Jr, takes the podium and promises a radical new plan:
Vaccine research will be defunded &, instead, everyone will receive a package of 12 essential oils to get them through this difficult time.
I'm old enough to remember when Republicans used to call things like this the Nanny State.
Now Republicans want a government big enough to be in your pocketbook, your bedroom, AND your refrigerator.
