Who could have predicted that... <checks notes> a weekend Fox and Friends host with a substance abuse problem who mismanaged two small nonprofits could not successfully manage an agency with more than 3 million employees?

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Narrator: It wasn't

Revealed preferences theory suggests that Wall Street executives value their ability to call their subordinates gay at approximately 8 trillion dollars

Can we please all agree that this experiment of putting a man who bankrupted a casino in charge of America’s economy is not going well at all?

The government’s statement is a flex, not a confession of error. The important elements of the flex are these: 1. We send enemies to brutal foreign labor camps. 2. We decide who enemies are. 3. We may decide you are an enemy based on a secret informant, or our view of your tattoos. /1

It’d be interesting to know what Jeffery Goldberg shows as his own name in his Signal profile. He sees his own membership in the group as “You,” but the other members of the group would see whatever name he has in his profile. We know it’s something with the initials J and G.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

The president, who last week told Congress he had "stopped all government censorship and brought back free speech in America," said today that the government had arrested a student because of his disfavored opinions. "This is the first arrest of many to come," he said.

Government by whim.

Trump once called crypto a “scam”. Now he’s creating a “strategic crypto reserve” with Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, and Cardano. This is will end as the biggest grift ever—another scheme where taxpayers end up bailing out billionaires for their risky bets.

That “dumb” part is going to make Trump blow a gasket. There’s nothing he’s more insecure about than his intellect.

Imagine that. 💰

Sincere question: What could Trump (and Musk and Vance) do to finally go over a line for Republican politicians? Through tariffs, boycotts & international hostility, they're laying waste to the US economy. They're allied with Russia over Europe. Is there a line for Republicans anywhere anymore?
