I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

A shockingly straightforward headline from CNN: www.cnn.com/business/liv...

Don’t call them tariffs. Call them import taxes.

Was hopping on to say the same thing. His story about how his family purchased a home and he grew up is remarkable. I didn't know this story and I am humbled.

$26m for golf outings in ten weeks. At that rate it will be over $300m for four years. How come DOGE isn’t cutting that waste and abuse?

I'm wondering if we are ever going to get the chat AFTER Goldberg exited 🤔? .... Who was J G? Think he got all that info? Maybe it's a kid? Are we in trouble? Hope it wasn't a European! ...

My evening is off to a great start. Pete B. liked my reply. Now I need to get a Mark 🐪 like one day 😎😁

Collins: Do you think someone should be fired over this? Buttigieg: Absolutely… if there’s not accountability for a screw up like this, especially from a president who used to fire people on television for sport, what are we even doing here..

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

Biden really played the long game by diligently cleaning up the mess Trump left him, but rigging things so that the economy got bad as soon as Trump returned to office. For a sleepy guy, he's sure been pulling a lot of strings!

We'll say it again: No, 150-year-olds are not collecting Social Security benefits. #SOTU www.wired.com/story/elon-m...
