“the United States is not a startup. The federal government exists to do all of the things that are definitionally not profitable, that serve the public good rather than protect investor profits. (The vast majority of startups also fail, something the United States cannot afford to do.)”

I guess Trump’s Special Envoy doesn’t agree with him that Zelensky is a corrupt, incompetent dictator. Pretty schizophrenic foreign policy.

A sitting congressman calling Elon Musk a dick is now considered a threat by the DOJ and are now starting a criminal investigation. This is the death of free speech in the United States.

The President & co-President both own a for-profit social media platform. That seems like the kind of thing Presidents are supposed to like not have.

The internet left will miss out on participating in revolutionary changes in government because they are too busy defending the honor of billionaires who don't sleep, and raged out on stimulants. Chapo brain ftw

Elon Musk just had the Community Note removed from the clip of his interview with Trump that went viral on X. The note pointed out that Musk lied about having to rescue astronauts because Biden supposedly abandoned them.

A 10% universal tariff on $3.25 trillion of annual US merchandise imports would potentially raise ~$300 billion. Last year, US personal income tax brought in nearly 30x that.

Look, I know a lot of the doomers, defeatists, and Dem-haters here on BSky think that the man is invincible, but I think that it's pretty damn important that close to half the Senate Republican caucus is now publicly panicking over Trump's Ukraine & Russia policies.
