Don't blame the Fed for the housing crisis. They are only keeping interest rates high to prevent tariff inflation. That would be like blaming your doctor for the adverse effects of chemo when they are just trying to treat your cancer.

Why is it that you can't go anywhere without hearing about how #AI is going to take over the world and everyone's job? A rare combination of gullibility, justifiable fear, and opportunity for unscrupulous shysters creates a perfect vortex to turning social media into all AI all the time...

#RFKJr and his war on autistic people is literally Nazi shit. No, seriously, this was the first step in the Holocaust. The Nazis started with the chronically ill and disabled, labeling them as a drain on the nation, then murdering tens of thousands of them in a trial run for extermination camps.

Good backstory. Of greater concern might be this part: Turner says it’s a “real concern” that the Trump administration will eventually attempt to exert greater political control over the task force and its recommendations.

RFK Jr. is very loud and very WRONG about Autism. 1. It’s not a disease 2. There are thousands of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder who pay taxes, have jobs, can use the bathroom on their own, and are thriving in life.

I interviewed the former chairman of the FDIC recently and while he seemed unconcerned about the CFB being undermined, he was very clear it would devastate the stability of the U.S. dollar and the entire economy to start messing with the FDIC.

this is almost always the case in these kinds of mea culpas. people are much, much more willing to admit that they were wrong than they are to admit that their enemies were right. 1

I'm almost more thrilled with the Wisconsin result thinking about the damage this will do to Musk's psyche as anything. Tony Stark thought a crowd would be carrying him on their shoulders, but instead got a swift kick in the nuts.

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.

A great overview of he historic anniversary, and how it has refreshed the fight for civil liberties. It's not just a long struggle. It is an endless one, and taking the time to restore our energy is important. And looking to those who have done it before plays a vital part of that.

This morning we’re talking about the consumer blackout planned for February 28th. Are tactics like these effective? What is the purpose of an economic blackout and other kinds of boycotts? Here’s why flexing the muscle of consumer power can be as effective as mass protests. (THREAD)

Imagine being able to stave off death with diet, exercise, and a small mountain of supplements not just for a few years, but indefinitely. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it is. Even worse, some of these anti-aging supplements are prone to backfiring...

As we dream about exploring outer #space, a steady trickle of articles says that we're too greedy, too fragile, and too short-sighted to ever leave the solar system, or settle other worlds. Sure, we're far from perfect. But these opinions are nihilism pretending to be a reality check...

Hello all cable news: do not broadcast the President of the United States talking about air traffic control. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

Not-so-fun fact: In 2024, the combined salaries of 2M federal employees totaled $213B (avg. $106K each, per OMB). Coincidentally, Elon Musk’s net worth rose by $213B in 2024 (per Bloomberg). Helps to put in perspective where the real inefficiencies lie.

This is a coup. It’s just straight up a coup. Musk wasn’t elected and he hasn’t been approved by Congress to lead an agency so what the hell is happening here and how is it legal.

Ahmed knows more about Project 2025 than anyone I've read. He brings the receipts that what Trump is doing was planned all along. And it's a LOT bigger than it looks at first glance.
