Tonight’s Trump meme coin dinner is gross corruption—selling access to the president for personal profit & inviting foreign adversaries to buy influence. Once again, billionaires & foreign moguls are the ones cashing in on seats at Trump’s table.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

If you’re wondering what Elon Musk has been up to it’s not about saving Americans money. It’s about saving himself money. Musk has used his position leading DOGE to illegally evade oversight, derail investigations, and make litigation disappear whenever he chooses, on his terms and at his command.

A quick note on Trump's new tariff plan. It's 10 percent across the board, 125 percent (!) on China. What's the effective tariff rate? Well, China was 13 percent of imports in 2024, so you might say .13125+.8710 = 24.95. But imports from China will fall, so how do we adjust it? 1/
