The median age of soldiers in this war is easily in the low 40s and every Russian soldier is a volunteer, most of whom who signed up for the very lucrative compensation packages. Not every war is Vietnam.

The thing almost all Democrats have never learned two decades into social media is that you don't make attention, you free-ride on it. You take what the attention is on, and make it about your thing. This is virality 101, and the fact they don't get it is mind blowing.

The insane tariffs on Canada & Mexico are one of the most self-defeating parts of Trump's policy. Trade restrictions on our closest allies & economic partners are up by orders of magnitude. What are we even doing here.

I wrote about the Musk/Trump beef. Probably an attention contest without precedent. It’s worth asking what 'winning' even looks like here. But I get the sense that, whatever happens...we all lose. But in the interim the content is tremendous. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

The consequences that befall Musk now that he's attacked Trump publicly will be a measure of how well the US fits the competitive authoritarian model. The more severe, the better the fit. I despise Musk, but for the sake of US democracy, I hope his punishment doesn't violate the rule of law.

Sincerely—not saying this to stir the pot—this is weak and both Trump and Don Jr. will know it. If Vance wanted to prove his loyalty, he would have knifed Musk; not just put out a generic "I am loyal to the king" tweet.

Oh, no biggie, just the President of the United States having a chuckle over D Day, suggesting that it was not a good day for Germany. Merz corrected him— actually, no, D-Day marks the LIBERATION of Germany from Nazi dictatorship. A good day. Sir, for the love of goddesses, READ A HISTORY BOOK.

It's worth noting here that Elon's principal objection to the reconciliation bill is that its Medicaid cuts are not nearly savage enough. If Elon wants to damage Trump great but there's no Dem tent big enough to include the "kill hundreds of thousands of poor Africans for kicks" guy
