All of the talk about the stock market and tariffs makes it sound like it’s a problem that only affects big companies or rich people who own stocks. In reality, both groups will survive in some diminished form. On the other hand, a lot of small businesses will be wiped out if it doesn’t end soon.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

This screenshot is the smoking gun. The Defense Secretary—on Signal—live texting classified strike times to people without the proper clearance. Hegseth’s defense? Blame a “disgruntled employee” and bash the media. And the White House is still standing by him. 1/2

It’s so adorable that Pete Hegseth thought it was going to be *Pentagon leakers* who made him look bad. Bless his little heart.

Let me get this straight: Fringe extremist infiltrates a major political party, rises to the rank of Vice President, throws around diplomatic weight to force a meeting with the Pope, and then MURDERS said Pope? Folks. This is a Dan Brown novel.

Wow. NATO contracting Palantir sounds such a bad move in the worst possible time for Europe. Why to create yet another form of structural dependence on the US? shape.nato.int/news-release...
