Maybe "financially literate" isn't what Americans are looking for regarding our public lands that we have preserved for generations...

Maybe we confiscate $844.7 billion of that, use it for social services, and leave him "only" as rich as Mitt Romney?

I just binged Vladimir. It's great--acidly funny, well-written, surprising, incredibly smart about desire and disappointment and selfishness and writing and middle age. Many critics seemed to have bones to pick with it. All respect (as T-Chalamet would say), ignore them. Rachel Weisz: never better.

Trump was asked whether oil tankers are now safe to use the strait of Hormuz.

Trump: I think they should. I think they should. I think they should use the Strait. Look, we took out just about all of their mine ships…

A few hours later…

2 oil tankers set on fire in the strait.

Trump only got into Wharton after his family pulled strings and got him an interview with an official who did a "special favor" to the family. A Wharton prof later said he was "the dumbest goddamn student" he ever had.

So, yes, his admission does say a lot about how smart he is.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

My employer is knocking it out of the park lately. Last week I was invited to a special financial planning session for women. Today I was momentarily laid off. Wasted some time checking for identity theft. Preview of what’s to come with the big deal they made with AI company that stole my books?

In case you're wondering how slow justice moves: after the Trump administration investigated my podcast and removed me from my job at the VA in 2019, I filed a complaint.

We still don't have a trial date set. We're waiting on a summary judgment ruling after a hearing last August.
