We do not eat a credit card’s worth of plastic a week. This doesn’t pass even the most basic sniff test but also the paper everyone is quoting doesn’t even say that we ingest that much plastic and I’m sick of hearing it in credible places!!!

OSLO, Norway (AP) - Danish Prime Minister says "you cannot spy against an ally" after reports of U.S. gathering intelligence on Greenland.

Do your job, Sean.

In reality, "strategic uncertainty" is called incompetence. Chaos. Bessent is twisting himself into a pretzel daily. He's got to have an ulcer by now.

Brilliant to eliminate Energy Star, a program that costs $32m but delivered $40b in annual savings. None other than the US chamber of commerce tried to save it as a model of business/government partnership. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

De-funding American university research while launching an economic war with China will undoubtedly be widely cheered — in China. 🤡

Maybe the children will have 2 dolls instead of 30 and maybe the dolls will cost a couple bucks more
