Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Brilliant show of statesmanship and solidarity. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer comes out to greet President Zelenskyy on the street. Starmer posted a clip of this moment on his X account. He stated: "Action, not just words. Britain stands with Ukraine, today and always 🇬🇧🇺🇦"

I still cannot believe this is real. It’s psychotic. There are many, many (SO MANY) more consequential heinous things they’ve done, but somehow the crassness of this seems like a new low. The White House shitposting like an especially mean and stupid 14-year-old.

Musk wouldn’t have taken questions in the Oval Office and looked like a cornered criminal if the pressure and attention wasn’t building. Don’t stop highlighting that the richest man in the world is taking over government. Keep talking. Paper your city if you have to. Do not give in.
