Two narcissistic sociopaths like Trump and Musk might put on airs that they're still friends, but that's a contrivance borne of convenience and pressure. Truth is, neither will ever forgive or forget the narcissistic injury of the past day. They're wired not to, and that wiring defines them both.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) isn’t just a measure of inflation, it directly impacts Social Security checks, mortgage, federal aid, business contracts, and worker pay. It’s foundational to understanding how the economy is working for everyday Americans. But now? It’s becoming far less accurate.

New: A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool to review Veterans Affairs contracts. But there was a slight hitch. It hallucinated the size of those deals. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand contracts were each worth $34M, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

TruthSocial is letting scam Trump-themed cryptocurrency ads run against DONALD TRUMP'S ACTUAL TIMELINE. Even I needed to check that this wasn't one of actual Trump's actual Trump-themed cryptocurrencies. Mind-bending. Like, if ever there was a timeline not to let advertisers run ads against?

If you think saying we worked with Stalin to defeat Hitler is good justification for welcoming Elon into the Democratic Party then you were asleep or not born for the Cold War that lasted from 1945 until 1991 including multiple hot wars. Stop simping for people who are rotten but also hate Trump.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history. It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy. There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was. Today is one of those days.
