Bessent is a soybean farmer the same way Trump is a master builders.

(Eg. Both pay the actual workers to do the work and then claim all the prestige for the finished product.)

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d

From his perch as a long-time global currency trader on Wall Street, Bessent also invested $25 million in Midwest land, which he leases out to actual farmers. He is not a “soybean farmer.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

Diane @dianesf.bsky.social · 3d

Argentina is fighting for its life, according to Trump. Maybe they should not have followed his politics. WHY ARE WE BAILING THEM OUT? WE NEED THAT HERE

I am not one to think being yelled at every day is nothing. It’s why I quit being a lawyer and why I get so triggered being a mom.

Dr. SkySkull @drskyskull.bsky.social · 3d

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Families are fighting to afford groceries and gas. Inflation’s up, energy costs are through the roof. Donald Trump’s biggest concern? Knocking down the White House’s historic east wing to build a ballroom for himself.

The entire US economy is now being propped up by systems which are known to freely engage in fraud and blackmail *and* resist explicit commands to shut down and no one knows why. Which is fine obviously

Tweet from Palisade Research: Ultimately the AI research community needs a much better understanding of AI drives and behaviors. The fact that we don't have robust explanations for why AI models sometimes resist shutdown, lie to achieve specific objectives, or blackmail is not ideal

Orangeman-in-chief: “Canada was mean to me by pointing out a fact I disliked so now I’m going to make my neighbors pay for my butt hurt!”

Joey Politano🏳️‍🌈 @josephpolitano.bsky.social · 3d

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

Canada was caught, red handed, putting up a fraudulent advertisement on Ronald Reagan’s Speech on Tariffs. The Reagan Foundation said that they, “created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address,” and “did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter.” The sole purpose of this FRAUD was Canada’s hope that the United States Supreme Court will come to their “rescue” on Tariffs that they have used for years to hurt the United States. Now the United States is able to defend itself against high and overbearing Canadian Tariffs (and those from the rest of the World as well!). Ronald Reagan LOVED Tariffs for purposes of National Security and the Economy, but Canada said he didn’t! Their Advertisement was to be taken down, IMMEDIATELY, but they let it run last night during the World Series, knowing that it was a FRAUD. Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency.

An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?

Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichéd, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

Indiana University banned its student newspaper from printing just days before homecoming weekend — after firing the paper’s advisor when he refused to censor critical coverage.

That would be bad enough on its own, but FIRE is taking this one personally, as the Indiana Daily Student reported this hostile campaign was due in part to its coverage of FIRE’s ranking Indiana University as the worst public university for free speech.

You read that right. The school’s response to the news that they are bad at free speech … is to censor the news. It’s ironic — and not just in the Alanis Morissette sense — that these actions will likely push its overall ranking even lower next year. At least we can’t fault them for consistency.

Ok, to be fair to Trump, saying true things he doesn’t like DOES count as cheating under Trumpism. Any fact or assertion that displeases the Dear Leader at any moment is illegitimate cheating.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

Trump’s govt shutdown is another reminder
•We dont have an energy shortage
•Or insulin shortage
•Or housing shortage
•Or teacher shortage
•Or labor shortage
•Or food shortage

We have billionaire excess who buy politicians to deny human rights. We dont suffer from scarcity—but from billionaire greed
