He is not independent. His monetary policy decisions have always been politically motivated. It is precisely why he is in that seat now. Boot licker.

Um yeah, of course it's on hold - no one from the Iranian side ever committed to attending!

Just your basic fish taco.

Dude really has no idea what he is doing. Everything about him screams "hack"

And with that, credibility shot to hell. (Assuming there ever was any.)

Ah, the cool, casual look of $160 million net worth and marriage into Lauder royalty.

All you need to know.

SMH

Once again, projection.

I will never understand what Andy Kim was thinking.

Oliver Darcy is reporting that Paramount will host Brendon Carr. If the legacy media had any self-respect they would cancel or boycott this dinner. But they don't. That is why you need to support independent media.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!

If you are fighting to keep Mississippi, you’ve already lost.

They already have the money and dont have the accountability. They want for nothing but our acceptance of the current reality. REFUSE

America Is in the Middle of a Stealth Manufacturing Boom Actual factory output is up sharply and may be picking up speed, even though factory jobs have slid steadily. Credit the most basic economic force of all: demand.

It's pretty weak sauce. AI and SpaceX as examples of drivers, and a whole lot of other stuff going down the tubes.

Greg Ip, WSJ, out of left field. I suppose there are some ways you can make that aregument, but not with this data.

(still ain't Panama) How about "Me all alone, me open the rum - Is long the wait for boat to come"

Pistons popping, ain't no stopping now

Panama?

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

They said this guy was more mentally stable and healthy than Biden. Jack Tapper needs to be hauled in front of a committee of under employed journalists and shamed out of the profession.

STFUD!

KASUBHAI, United States District Judge: Unserious leaders are unsafe. There is nothing more serious than our leaders' dedication to the rule of law so that we might maintain the integrity of our constitutional democracy. This case highlights a leader's unserious regard for the rule of law. This case demonstrates how disregard for the rule of law does not merely result in an abstract infraction. Rather, and tragically, this case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader's wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.

“Unserious leaders are unsafe” is a fucking banger though

Oh, and we shall, we shall, after midterms.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

We have an apparent cure for most people with pancreatic cancer—a profoundly swift, deadly cancer—and the position of the U.S. government is that it should be banned. This is real fall-of-empire stuff.

Well, if you believe the lie as to what its intentions were, then sure, it backfired. But if you realized that all that was BS, & simply a cover story for burrowing into govt systems to steal data, fire people (esp black women) & shut down investigations into Musk, then Id say, mission accomplished.

Trump’s federal workforce changes cost the economy more than $165.6B, analysis finds The Partnership for Public Service report includes the costs of the deferred resignation program, severance pay for laid-off civil servants and federal employees who were on paid administrative leave ...

DOGE has backfired horrifically and the people who did this to us must be held accountable.

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
