Whatever impostor syndrome you may have once had, dispose of it fucking immediately. If these people run the country, you deserve that promotion, you can run for city council, you can start that business. If this is the baseline, shit, you can do surgery drunk in an alley and you will do less harm.

I try to stay out of the Catholic Church’s internal politics but my rule of thumb is that if fanatical converts like Vermeule / Vance, MAGA grifters like Loomer or Evangelicals like Feucht are upset it’s a good sign.

One of the most important things everyone should have learned from the first three months of DOGE cuts. Government is actually less wasteful than even the most pro-bureaucracy technocrat could have imagined!

Not to predict the future, but a thing that’s gonna happen is the DOGE guys / goons are gonna bury themselves inside the federal government, particularly at GSA and the treasury payments system and courts will slow-walk attempts to remove them, probably for years.

DOGE is a disastrous fiasco. It’s not saving money, cutting waste or finding fraud. It’s legacy is one of a debacle of historic proportions.

The economy shrank in the first quarter. Down from 2.4% growth in q4 to -0.3 in q1. Trump has officially cratered the strongest economy in the world in just a few months.

I know it's not the most important thing here but this story also corroborates one of my biggest theories about these tech guys: they do zero hours of work in a day. They do no work no matter how much they claim to work 14 hours a day. They're just on their phones.

Who could have guessed that alienating your company’s core customer base by getting super close with a 80 year old who’s never had business acumen and is one of the most polarizing figures currently around wasn’t such a genius marketing idea, Elon?

The president sold the federal government to a billionaire, who with his accomplices at DOGE has been stripping it for parts for the last 3 months. If I were a opposition party I would be loud and clear that everyone involved in this will at minimum be prosecuted.

I am starting to wonder how the Supreme Court feels about giving Donald Trump immunity for official acts now that one of those official acts is telling the Supreme Court to shove their ruling and that he’s not constrained by law he doesn’t agree with.

Trump on the phone to top NYC law firms: “Yeah, we need a couple million dollars worth of pro bono legal work to help us build some prison camps in Central America and kidnap Americans who say inconvenient things and send them there.”

A president who has the power to send an innocent person to a foreign prison camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Love to see ratios. One thing that made twitter less fun was that changes like boosting blue check replies over all other replies made dunking on politicians boring. It wasn’t you and your online friends swooping in anymore, it was all weird sex bots and Rufo bros.

I don't think putting a pause on retaliatory tariffs on North Macedonia, Fiji, Lichtenstein, and Chad is going to counteract the over 100% retaliatory tariffs on our biggest trading partner, China. Seems the markets are being a bit silly.

Sometimes when I point out that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are incompetent, I get asked, "How did they make so much money?" Many often confuse wealth with competence. Elon's father owned a gem mine in South Africa. Donald's father gave him over $400,000,000. Both born with a golden spoon.

China does 8% of its trade with the USA. 8%, if it does go to 0% they won't really care, they’ll just switch to Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan. The USA gets more than 40% of its stuff from China. The USA is not holding the cards here from an economics standpoint.

The consensus on Wall Street among savvy people paid millions to predict things was exactly what the low-information voters thought: "Trump can't mean what he says because that's silly, what he'll really do is what I personally hope he does."

What's the point of interviewing anyone from the administration? Even if they have a contrary opinion they can't express it privately much less publicly for fear of getting fired. None of these people have autonomy, they're all press secretaries.

I’d note that the tariffs are not broken down by country, they are by top level internet domain. It's why islands with only penguins (the .hm domain) and why the Diego Garcia military base on BIOT (.io) are listed, also why Reunion (.re) and Gibraltar (gi) are listed separately from France & the UK.

One month ago: “Between 1870 and 1913 the US was the richest because of tariffs” Today: “Between 1789 to 1913 the US were the richest because of tariffs” In reality, neither is true. The US has never been wealthier than now.

Yes, the DOGE team honestly think that they can replace millions of lines of COBOL running on IBM that has lasted for twenty years with some combination of MongoDB, node.js, and Python that’ll last maybe five years. There's no possible way that could go wrong, none whatsoever.
