Will Trump's proposed movie tariffs will help or hurt the American entertainment industry? Markets responded pretty clearly.

Autistic 4th Grader Goes Viral For Powerful Rebuke To RFK Jr.: 'I'm Not Broken' www.comicsands.com/autistic-boy... He would be a better HHS Secretary...

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

People claiming Dutton didn’t have a strategy to win back the teal seats aren’t seeing the bigger picture here. Liberals’ grubby Advance campaign outfit has been campaigning for months telling people Greens are extremists and teals are secret Greens. This is how Dutton worked to win teal seats.

SPREAD THIS AROUND, please!

Trump is singlehandedly revitalizing the global center-left

Canada, we’re with you! TRUMPISM IS REPUDIATED IN AUSTRALIA! #auspol

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

“But in Mace’s case, there is no substance, just an ugly hollowness, which is why her cursing a constituent further illustrated a political shallowness that has come to define her. She’s the queen of vacuousness.” www.thestate.com/opinion/arti...

HEY WASHINGTON OREGON …ALERT🚨 Underwater volcano in the Pacific Northwest shows signs of eruption Scientists at UW's Cabled Array, one of the world's largest ocean observatories monitoring this active volcano, have seen potential eruption signs in recent months.

A well-oiled machine 🫠

I’m not normally a bird watcher, but I was thrilled to catch a blue suited twit sleeping away the day.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Same.

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

These monsters.

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Lots of people I know that were furious about kids having to wear masks are real quiet about a two year old citizen being wrongfully deported

I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege still manages to feel oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by the world around them—a world that has always favored them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

See the problem here?

New in PN: Lisa Murkowski reveals the ugly nature of Trump's rule "Trump is not a normal president who governs through persuasion and political savvy. He constantly resorts to coercive threats. A system where that becomes normal isn’t a democracy. It’s a reign of terror."

Meanwhile, opposition to this one of the main reasons cited for His Magasty's win over Harris. So that worked.

It's crystal clear what the White House is doing.

The White House says negotiations with China are/aren't happening, that they do/don't expect to cut/raise tariffs soon/in a bit/never, and they intend to play hardball/softball with China. Trump and Xi have/haven't spoken, and they do/don't expect a breakthrough sooner/later.

A lot has changed in the world, so my colleagues and I at the @fordschool are opening up a special emergency admissions cycle for folks who want to start a Masters of Public Policy this fall. Deets are here: fordschool.umich.edu/masters-prog... I hope to see you in class in September!

As you assess the DEAL we're striking with Korea, remember: We ALREADY have an active free trade agreement with Korea that provides tariff free trade in nearly everything. Expect this new agreement to... Provide for tariff free trade in nearly everything. Just like 6 weeks ago.

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

Remaining quiet in turbulent times is a luxury that perceived privilege and intellectual ignorance afford. That passivity is born out of the illusion of safety. (Trust me, none of us is safe.) johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-my-apol...

And many are outright geniuses, and engage in more productive activity in an hour than RFK Jr. will in his entire life.

Unemployment up. Stock market down. Mortgage rates up. Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression. Are we great again yet?
