Mamdani thinks he has integrity. He does not.

The money quote from Elon: “Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years…”
Would @Morning_Joe kindly stop taking all credit for balanced budgets when he was in the House? Clinton's 1993 tax increase -- which Joe demagogued as the "largest tax hike in American history" -- played a huge role, as did a booming economy.
Today's real story: Dow down 800 due to Trump's irresponsible tax cut-spending bill. Trump diverts attention by abusing South African president. Media falls for it.
Slapping tariffs on things we can't produce -- even if we wanted to -- is crazy

Congratulations, Anthony. Award totally deserved.
Too bad journalists were there as well.

That's true, but Trump's attacks on due process (not coincidentally for a Latino immigrant), however serious, are part of his bigger efforts to take the focus off the crashing economy.
Elon Musk has tweeted that the level of propaganda at elite universities "would make North Korea jealous." He hasn't disclosed the schools his college-age children have attended, but at least one of them currently goes to Brown University -- famed as perhaps the most fashionably left of the bunch.

Has it occurred to some of you that Trump's on-again, off-again tariff war is part of an insider trading scheme? Before he announces a pause, which inevitably causes stocks to rise, he and friends buy stock. Before he announces a resumption, which leads to sharp price drops, they sell.
Also traders going short right before Trump announces tariffs and then going long right before he « delays » tariffs.

Thanks. I find identity politics troubling. One could say Jim Crow was identity politics of the most perverse kind

Does this apply to the US? The US defense budget is $824 billion. That’s about 3.1% of GDP. To get to 5% of GDP would mean another $500 billion in defense spending. Is Trump going to propose that and where will the money come from? Or is 5% only for other countries? www.politico.eu/article/dona...

As chair of a Pulitzer jury on cartoonists, I applaud Ann Telnaes’ decision. (I also agree with her message though, it must be noted, that is not a criterion for choosing nominees.)

As an anti-immigrant America Firster, I want to be ruled by a South African immigrant who answers to a leader in Russia and thinks Americans are too dumb to use computers.
