The reason Apple manufactures in China is b/c of YEARS of investment in vocational training there. Any effort to bring these industries onshore STARTS WITH INVESTING IN OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. And it will take YEARS. It’s not about tiny hands (so stupid). Here’s Apple CEO Tim Cook

Page 9 of Erased will have you rethinking your whole damn education. This book doesn’t pull punches. They erased the truth—this puts it back. 📕 Grab your copy before they silence it: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

NEW: Judge Murphy, targeted for attacks by Trump and Stephen Miller, accuses the administration of misrepresenting his rulings and causing the chaos it now complains about with its summary deportations to South Sudan. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

JUST IN: The DC Circuit has turned down Steve Bannon's request to consider vacating his contempt of Congress conviction for defying the Jan. 6 select committee's subpoena. Three judges (Henderson, Rao, Walker) would have taken it up. media.cadc.uscourts.gov/opinions/doc...

"The cornerstone of the American system of justice is an independent judiciary and an independent bar willing to tackle unpopular cases, however daunting," Judge Leon wrote in a 73-page opinion. "The Founding Fathers knew this!"

Reuters: SPACEX'S STARSHIP SPINNING IN SPACE AND LOSES CONTROL 30 MINUTES INTO NINTH TEST FLIGHT

This is why you don’t negotiate with terrorists. The firms that caved to this thug are an embarrassment to the legal profession—and I for one wouldn’t be in the least upset if all of them collapsed permanently under the weight of their shame. OF COURSE he’s now demanding political—non-pro-bono—work.

One thing we never talk about is how NASA was not allowed to fail in the same ways that SpaceX does. For NASA, they’ve been under a strict microscope of not wasting taxpayer dollars in their pursuits. The bar was always high. SpaceX has a lower bar, all while still using taxpayer dollars.

Rarely do you see a journalist flush his credibility for cash as Tapper has. He has scattered anecdotes to the effect that—across years—Biden when exhausted from being the hardest-working POTUS in decades would forget a name or lose his train of thought. Zero sign of advanced degenerative cognition.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

“Mexico will pay for the wall” Mexico: “Hold my tequila.” “Canada will pay for my Golden Dome.” Canada: “Hold my maple syrup.”

What no one in political media is telling y'all is that no in D.C. is taking Trump's Golden Dome proposal seriously. Not the military. Not the media. Not lawmakers. No one. It is the policy equivalent of putting a child's shitty crayon drawing on the fridge.

Insider trading? Would be nice to hear what Sen Markwayne Mullin has to say about this.

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

If you push for term limits- you should be prepared to explain how to address the time and funding disadvantage minority and women candidates face. We already have term limits. They’re called elections. You don’t show up for those either. Carry on…

the plan to make america great again is to make us an impoverished garrison state dominated by trump and his oligarch buddies

I have never seen any example of the left "hating" young men that doesn't distill to "refusal to coddle them/insistence on treating them like adults with agency."

“The COIN-operated Presidency” 🤡 @nytimes.com @karaswisher.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

NYT: Trump whacked Apple with new tariffs - surprising even his own aides - because he was pissy that CEO Tim Cook skipped his Middle East griftathon. (For some reason, this is portrayed as Cook's fault.) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/26/t...

I see we’re in the “How to Placate” stage of free-market capitalism. 🤡 @nytimes.com $AAPL www.nytimes.com/section/busi...

Stifel pinpoints the moment Tesla’s political favorability flipped — and says Musk backing away from DOGE “could create an inflection point over the next few months.” $TSLA

No, seriously, why interview him?

King Charles Declares Canada ‘Strong and Free’ Amid Trump’s 51st State Threats

All those ships that were supposed to be waiting at the starting gate to sprint to the US when tariff rates went down? They're going elsewhere - mainly the EU and UK. we're no longer at the top of Chinese companies' customer lists.

NYT: “.. The so-called ‘wrench attacks,’ so named because of their brutish techniques, have become a growing concern in the world of digital currency, as more investors store sensitive information on physical devices .. in an effort to avoid hackers.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/n...

Trump Media is building a Bitcoin reserve. So is the Trump White House. Two fronts, one crypto strategy. Here’s how Trump’s private company and public policy just aligned— me, for @forbes.com

Why can't he speak?

Oh.

💥 BREAKING: Shareholders of Merck & Co one of the largest pharma companies in the world, voted today to reject an anti-DEI proposal, 99-1 percent. Merck Board recommended shareholders vote against proposal that called for eliminating "discriminatory DEI milestones" from executive compensation.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

Saddened to hear of the passing of former Congressman Charlie Rangel. From the battlefield to the halls of Congress, he always served with passion and commitment.

Rahm Emanuel better figure out how to win w/out the Black vote if he’s going to keep using the word “woke” as a weapon against Dems. That goes for any candidate parroting GOP lines & taking cues from Ron DeSantis. “Woke” is a word rooted in the Black community—it’s not yours to twist into a slur.

Getting ready for another week of fighting for democracy in court.

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

Lindsey Graham has been in Washington for over 3 decades. What does our state have to show for it? Crumbling infrastructure, underfunded schools, and healthcare that’s too expensive for too many South Carolinians. Nobody needs 3 decades to prove themselves.

Massie has been taking a lot of incoming from Trump supporters for standing up to him on the budget, and may also be facing another Trump-backed primary challenger. He responds.

Russian state media mocks Trump’s post.

Good thing for Putin he has such a good friend in WH to run cover for him while he continues to bomb civilians.

Tom Homan, one of the top officials behind the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, is facing questions after it was revealed he was paid by a private prison company that stands to profit from the government’s detention policies.

saw myself described as a centrist (among other things) and i continue to marvel at the distance between my stated opinions that i write about on a weekly basis and what people seem otherwise think i believe

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.
