Trump’s Fed chair pick says he’ll maintain independence – but won’t say president lost 2020 election Kevin Warsh says ‘we need to take politics out of monetary policy’ as Elizabeth Warren calls him Trump’s ‘sock puppet’

How can these people not be embarrassed by themselves?

The logical endpoint of this is just Tucker 2028

Patrick Henry, hero of the Revolutionary War, first and sixth Governor of Virginia, objected to the proposed Constitution of 1787 not least because it would have done away with the natural, unalienable right of a majority of the community to alter or abolish their form of government

Opinion | Putin’s Army of Drones Freed from ethical constraints and hardened by years of war, a country long seen as a bureaucratic giant has become an entrepreneurial one.

“Russia is reshaping the future of warfare in real time, building artificial intelligence-enabled command and control and, it appears, deploying fully autonomous weapons without the ethical constraints that govern Western militaries,” Kateryna Bondar writes.

In both foreign policy and economic policy, the core belief of Trumpism is that there is some button one can press to instantly and easily solve any problem, and every political leader this country has ever had was simply too cowardly to press it. That’s it.

1. Boy, Amazon is in a heap of trouble. Evidence made public yesterday by California AG @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov shows blatant price fixing. And there are so many examples. Here's Amazon scheming with a pet food supplier to get Chewy to raise its prices.

Siri, what is a 'moral hazard'?

LMAO

'i can't go any further' - of course you can.

I see two schools of thought among Dems.

1. We need a new deal. Make things fair. Everyone prospers.
2. Put them motherfuckers against the wall.

I think they are compatible.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

The beauty of standards. There's always a bunch to choose from.

Doing this video with a painting of Washington in the background is a level of irony that even he’d probably cross the Delaware again just to get away from

I know a great way for them to atone.

People are mad about this but not me I am and always have been pro-A10. It's a great platform stop pretending otherwise!

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

I know the whole thing is a shitshow, but the comma inside the quotes is burning a hole in my skull.

It’s in keeping with the basic idea of the original Colorado River Compact, which was to manage the basin’s water through some negotiation and compromise, rather than strictly following the letter of the law. But the legal foundation of prior appropriation hamstrings negotiations at every turn. Farmers account for the overwhelming majority of Colorado water use—almost a third goes to cattle feed alone—and thanks to how the system was initially designed, their prices are absurdly subsidized. One recent study found that while municipal districts pay an average of $512.01 per acre-foot, agricultural irrigation districts paid an average of $30.32 per acre-foot. Fully a quarter of all Colorado water diversions, all to farmers, cost nothing at all. Such a subsidy is difficult to unwind.

TIL that while Colorado basin municipal water districts pay an average of $512 per acre-foot, irrigation districts pay an average of $30--and fully a quarter of all water diversions, all going to farms, pay nothing at all prospect.org/2026/04/17/w...

Just passive voice at every opportunity. Why even include that statement if you don't know, and I don't know how you could know from that one picture

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

What, did they decide on the shape of the table?

I hope you get one. I can't tell whether I'm more horrified by the pineapple or the 'tinned'.

Nope - it's the tinned.
