SHAQ NO!

I pray you’ll read my latest. We are being challenged as a nation and this is a test we must pass. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Chile. Chinese luxury brand manufacturers are spilling all the tea on TikTok and telling users how to order directly from them. The Resotration Harwarde manufacturers just posted how to buy a $2000 table for $200.

Bill Maher has always been a fragile, misogynistic, weasel asshole.

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

Not Donald Trump snitching on his own market manipulation…

36,000 people going to see Bernie Sanders on a Saturday in Los Angeles is pretty insane.

Chinese manufacturers exposing American luxury brands is the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I'm here for it

It would actually be extremely on brand for the USA if none of the human rights violations got rid of him but insider trading did

Amen🙌

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

Seth Abramson shared this.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

A teenage boy described by his family as autistic, nonverbal and intellectually disabled remains in critical condition after being shot in his backyard by Idaho police last weekend.

they are busy insider trading

If we want culture to thrive, not just survive, it’s on all of us now.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

They are obviously slow learners

Reuters: U.S. PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST FACE DEFAMATION LAWSUIT OVER HIS STATEMENTS ABOUT WRONGFULLY CONVICTED 'CENTRAL PARK 5' DEFENDANTS - COURT RULING

Historians know: the false confidence & frequency with which Musk says “throughout history” signals the immediate historical mendacity that will follow. He hasn’t ever done the reading & makes up “facts” about Rome—which reached its pop. height around the 2ndC CE & didn’t “fall” from pop. decline.

We found the voter fraud!!!!!

Children are sponges for steak sauce, suggests the secretary of education.

Oh my god

The Trump White House, two days ago.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

I don’t know if I believe he’s disciplined enough to do this on purpose but I do believe he’s predictably asinine enough that people could anticipate him accidentally doing it. And I think there are traders risky enough to make billions of dollars based on it.

There are a lot of great economists and trade experts in this country, some of them are the world's best. Not a single one of them works in White House.

Here’s the best way to understand what’s happening. Trump genuinely wants to impose a 19th century mercantilist model that would crash the economy and destroy the global trading order but the idea is just so colossally stupid and destructive, he can’t actually do it. So we get this.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

I just want to reiterate that the White House Press Secretary — predictably but notably — lied through her teeth about this when asked.

Insurrection Barbie doesn’t seem to be familiar with how mail works.

House Republicans are muting the voice of worried Americans and giving away Congress’ authority over Trump’s tariffs that threaten to crash the economy.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

If you believe this, have I got a Bible to sell you.

This isn’t a trade war against China and the rest of the world. It’s an economic war against working class America.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Jamie Dimon, CEO and chairman of JPMorgan Chase, the largest U.S. bank by assets, is now live on Fox Business News and is predicting a RECESSION. Oh my God.

Breaking: European Union officials have approved a fresh set of retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports. The duties, some of which would go into effect April 15, would range from 10% to 25% on more than $24 billion worth of goods, including tobacco, motorcycles, poultry, steel and aluminum.

At least Elsie Silver is getting me through this stressful time.

What is happening right now — and adding the bond market crash to the list of issues — is solely a creation of the President of the United States and everyone who enabled him in this foolish endeavor.

Wonder Showzen knew what was coming

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall. Hello?
