Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

remember when Hertz bought a huge Tesla fleet? The loss on that turned out to be $2.9 billion.

No reason to believe it won't work out exactly the same for Tesla.

Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

Andy Kessler at the WSJ, who I used to be quite friendly with, has lost his mind. He's claiming that Mamdani and others are pushing for anarchy. WTF is he talking about? Literally this entire column is "things I dislike are anarchy and bad, things I like are not and good."

Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”

Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.

this is Trumpist “populism” in action: quality of life and access to good things are gated behind wealth, prominence, and friendliness to the regime

Like many Americans, Scott Adams had insurance problems. But unlike most people he has powerful friends on social media, and when he asked President Trump for help, he got the cancer drug he needed.

Trump called Biden “sleepy,” because Trump is an old man who struggles to stay awake.

Trump called Hillary “crooked,” because Trump is incredibly crooked.

Trump called Ted Cruz “lyin’” because Trump is a serial liar.

We’re a decade into this. How do people still not get it?

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
