KERNEN: What you hear is tariffs are a tax on US companies, and when you tax something you get less of it. How do you dispute that?
NAVARRO: As soon as you add that third party -- foreign countries -- it becomes not a tax but a form of leverage and a beautiful thing

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

New set of files released overnight into Tuesday
A major new batch of thousands more files relating to Jeffrey Epstein has been released by the US Justice Department, featuring many more references to Donald Trump than earlier batches contained.
The documents were released overnight on Tuesday and include a claim that Trump was on a flight with Epstein and a 20-year-old woman in the 1990s.

YouTube influencers touring CECOT for channel views is pretty fucked up, but at least they did a better job than CBS.
I’m sure the 60 Minutes CECOT piece is awful, but there are 30+ videos on YouTube made by YT travel influencers touring CECOT that are even worse, and they’ve been live on YouTube for months.
The CECOT director even brags about the conditions.

btw these days can be strange and lonely for people that don't have family to speak of or can't be where they want for whatever reason; if you know someone you think might possibly be in a rough spot, you'll do a real good thing by checking in and making sure they know you're in reach if they need

Would anyone be interested in a weekly Weird Car BlueSky podcast?

Acting CISA director failed a counter intelligence polygraph amd is under investigation.
Just kidding. He's a Trump appointee and the staff that ordered the test to protect top secret information from a likely spy are under investigation.
