I’m getting a little tired of explaining this but if you want to connect some dots - woke is decency.

So when they claim to be ‘anti woke’ what they mean is anti decency. They WANT to be indecent without judgement. No shame. No decency. NO JUDGEMENT for being vile.

Let me strongly emphasize that you should not give someone money for committing a gross breach of professional ethics. You also shouldn't hire them for a prestigious new job but our industry is garbage, alas!

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Another way to accurately describe the “unprecedented gambit” is “wildly illegal under both domestic law & multiple international treaty commitments”

NBC News @nbcnews.com · 1d

U.S. consumers are already shouldering as much as 55% of costs due to Trump’s unprecedented gambit to impose sizable tariffs on imports, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs analysts.

U.S. consumers bearing more than half the cost of tariffs so far, Goldman Sachs says

The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.

Literally nothing coming from the Pentagon, DHS, or DOJ should be considered credible unless backed up by an independent source outside of government. (This, for the record, is a huge problem!)

I don't know the economic stakes of banning Chinese cooking oil imports. (Surely not fun!) The market hates this because China has the ability to hit big tech companies hard, and Trump doesn't appear to have a plan to get out of this cycle other than to keep raising the costs to all involved.
