Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"
Desperate to rehabilitate his tattered reputation, Tucker Carlson does a mea culpa: āIāll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that Iām sorry for misleading people.ā To that, I say FUCK YOU Tucker Carlson.
If Donnie Dementia wants you to vote no, then you must defy the madman to actually save your country.
Let's go, Virginia voters! Do your patriotic part in an ongoing effort to save our democratic republic. The vote is expected to be close, so every single vote is urgent.
Totally delusional. Mounting signs of deepening dementia. The world is not safe from Donnie Dementia, and yet MAGA worships him like a diety.
But, hey, Donnie Dementia, his family and his cronies all got much wealthier due to the illegal war ā and the rest of us are paying the price
All in all, 32 states are holding supreme court elections in 2026. These races will decide over 60 seats. Two states already resolved their contestsāconservatives won in Arkansas, and liberals in Wisconsin. Nineteen states are holding regular elections for their supreme courts this year, meaning races where candidates can challenge incumbent judges or run for an open seat. How those work is straightforward; think of what youāre used to seeing for Congress or governor. But 13 states are holding retention elections, which are simple up-or-down votes, with no challengers, where voters decide if a judge who is already on the court should stay in office.

Tim Cook's legacy will be enshittifying Apple's software, abusing their market dominance, and then playing apologist to fascism.
Under his leadership they burned billions on a car that never drove, and the only major attempt at a new product during his tenure (the Apple Vision Pro) was a total dud.
BREAKING: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has RESIGNED.

8. This is a novel kind of monopoly power. Economists Zach Brown and Alexander MacKay call it āalgorithmic coercion.ā And its impact ācan be worse for consumers than if firms explicitly coordinated on high prices.ā The FTC says Nessie generated $1B+ in extra profit in 3 years.
5. One is an āanti-discountingā algorithm that matches competitorsā price changes instantly to the penny. When a rival offers a discount, Amazon matches it; when rivals raise prices, Amazon follows. This denies other retailers a way to win customers by lowering prices.
1. Amazon has built powerful pricing algorithms that have learned how to steer prices upward ā not just on Amazon, but across the web. I have a new piece on how these algorithms work, and how they help sustain Amazonās monopoly.

How can he investigate himself?
Some interesting predictions, and I tend to agree that the Miami Dolphins will trade the No. 30 pick to pile up more picks.
And so is the witness :)
Your honor, Exhibit No. 1.
Insane stat: Opponents have had 12 quality starts in 22 games against the Padres, resulting in 6-6 record in those 12 games. The Padres are 9-1 in the other games for an overall record of 15-7, tied for 2nd best in MLB and a half-game behind the Dodgers.
San Diego Padres star closer Mason Miller, aka The Reaper, is now 1 inning shy of Cla Meridith's scoreless streak of 33 2/3 innings, set in 2006. He has faced 38 hitters this year and struck out 27 of them. He has allowed two singles and two walks. He could tie and set the record this week.
