Schulman's compensation last year was $34 million. He believes 20-30% unemployment is almost at hand, and his solution is "more education and reskilling."

I don't think he understands what it would be like when a population armed to the teeth has 20-30% unemployment and no social safety net.

Megyn Kelly makes 4-word plea after suspicious market activity Somebody shorted the oil markets before a big Trump announcement with Kelly is calling for an investigation, tagging the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on X.

Even Megyn Kelly is demanding an SEC investigation into massive oil shorts placed minutes before tRump’s Iran announcements—$760M one day, $950M another. Pattern of insider trading screams corruption from the top.

Well, that's disappointing

Sure, the President is insane, everything costs more, we’re at war, and America is a laughing stock, but at least your MAGA relatives feel better about the genitalia of the person in the bathroom stall next to them.

The CDC has delayed the publication of a report showing that the Covid vaccine significantly reduced the likelihood of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter.

This is a clear example of putting politics over science at the cost of lives.

The result has been something like an inverse caricature of Republican complaints about diversity, equity, and inclusion, a system in which the incompetent rise not because of their abilities but because of their sycophancy. Authoritarian regimes behave as the Trump administration is behaving—optimizing for political loyalty rather than competence. Merit, in short, has little to do with it. Hegseth is a prime example. Deeply unqualified for the job and convinced that brutality provides an easy path to victory, he has led the United States to the verge of a strategic defeat with a weaker adversary in Iran. The current cease-fire leaves Iran with a more hard-line government than before, one in total control of a shipping lane crucial to the world economy. The Islamic Republic is arguably in a stronger position today than it was when the war started, and probably in a stronger position than it was before Trump, in his first term, scrapped the Obama-era nuclear deal. On Sunday, Trump posted on his social network a refrain that he and his toadies seem to think is insightful: “If you import The Third World, you become The Third World!” This archaic social Darwinism is the ideological mortar of the Trump project. It fuses Hegseth’s disdain for diversity in the military’s senior leadership and valorization of brutality with the administration’s attack on birthright citizenship and its deployment of federal agents to occupy American cities. It is a worldview that would assume an easy victory against a country like Iran, especially with America’s new, “unwoke” military. Bigotry isn’t just inefficient, as the U.S. military discovered in the 1940s. It also makes you stupid.

Today is a good day to remember that Carl Sagan was as outspoken about the dangers of war and nuclear weapons as he was an advocate of space exploration.

BIG BREAKING:

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They said RFK Jr. has ordered a complete pause on infectious diseases testing, which includes rabies, tuberculosis, mumps, and hantavirus.

RFK Jr. wants to freely move these infectious diseases among the people.

Soon after massive honeybee deaths, Trump moves to close the nation's premier bee lab When beekeepers saw widespread honeybee die-offs last year, researchers at the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center stepped in to help. The Trump administration now plans to close the facility...

Tapper recited most of the post, leaving off the praise part. How convenient.

Someone you know has already seen you for the last. Neither of you know it.

Be kind. Tell people you care about them.

Pete Hegseth forced the US Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement, he will be replaced with Hegseth's long term military aide who will be less likely to question illegal orders. This comes only a few weeks into the war with Iran.
