My daughter squeezed out too much toothpaste and I said maybe I can get some of it back in. As I was trying to put it back in the tube it dawned on me that there is an entire saying about this and also it’s pretty easy to think things will be different when you try to do them.

Every prisoner swap with Russia is like "she is a 14-year-old girl who Putin said sang 'Carol of the Bells' too aggressively and he is a top Russian spy who personally strangled a dissident to death in a London coffee shop"

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

We now have more than 8,000 locations, but in many ways, we’re still that same little shop on the corner [that in the current market would be boarded up within 12 months, leaving its bankrupt owner hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt].”

I’ve long said that if rule of law ceases to exist such that the president can get away with deliberately ignoring court orders, the country is no longer a democracy by definition. That’s currently being tested in the US—and it’s up to the judiciary to not back down.

Earlier: While “restoring the rule of law” to the U.S.-Mexico border has been a resonant and repeated talking point for successive administrations, it is the border walls that they have built, not the border itself, that are lawless.

my 90 year old dad who has never touched a computer in his life will appreciate getting all the hot scoops on why his payment didn't arrive over on X, the very serious platform run by very serious people

Having a 3 year old daughter means I look in the mirror and find stickers on my face way more often than I would have ever guessed.

Can we finally ignore the "deep state" weirdo conspiracy theory nonsense now? If there really was a deep state in the USA, they'd have taken charge by now.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

I’ve been waiting for this headline. Without the immigrant population in western Kansas, many towns would just die. Many areas of Western Kansas have populations lower than before Kansas obtained statehood.

If Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy can just find a moment between all his Fox News hits about how he’s too scared to take the subway and too dumb to run a dishwasher, I’m sure he’ll get right on this.

Every day I come to my office, plug in my laptop, everything starts up, I get coffee and start work. Except for Thursdays. Every Thursday I do the same thing and only one of my monitors works. No idea why.

Either: 1) Tariffs are required to force companies to move to USA, but actually they are just a negotiating tactic not for job creation. Wild market swings are good. Or 2) Incompetent conmen are in charge Apply Occam’s Razor

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

🤣 “What is Dead Cat Bounce?” not the headline I was expecting when I opened my phone but probably one that I should have. Just because the US market went up yesterday doesn’t mean it’s on its way up.

Amazing how the America First put tariffs on China people are also the ones who deck themselves out in red hats and paraphernalia that you know is all made in China. They can’t even lead by example in where they but their t-shirts.

Apparently much of this chaos in the US is supported by people who think the IRS is unconstitutional and that we should go back to how things were before 1913. WTF?
