Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

This is one of those things which is not partisan politics. Messing with the distinction between military justice and civilian law enforcement is messing with the foundational structure of our constitutional order.

The story about Colbert being cancelled because…. Trump doesn’t like him, should be a warning shot to everyone. The oligarchy has the power… they will use their money to silence you.

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

I pitched my NYT editor that folks really need to understand that the deadweight loss of tariffs rises in the square of the tariff rate. Despite the wonkiness of it all, they said yes--as long as you can explain that intuitively.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

"Germany did destroy itself almost a century ago. It almost destroyed civilization itself. That didn’t happen because Germany took in too many migrants. It happened because the German people fell for arguments uncomfortably close to JD Vance’s."
We’re Well Past Alarm Bells
The Trump administration is mocking court orders, laying the groundwork for political retribution, and declaring open war on the rule of law.

Chuck is selling a book.
Chuck also has a full-time job.
I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not.

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets.
Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake.

People are changing the labels on Wayne G's wine: "a merlot that is sad and 2 faced" "as weak as the name-sakes moral fibre."
There is a reason why Canadians dominate comedy - we are wickedly funny.
And when push comes to shove we play for keeps
(ie. Kharmalov's ankle).
Sucks to be you Wayne.

Two things struck me in the 20 year change in whether other countries trade more with China or USA:
1. China took over the world market fast; and
2. Trump has to be one of the STUPIDEST people ever to go after 3 of the few remaining countries that trade more with US: Mexico, Canada, & Greenland.
