hell *i* don’t want to buy American any more
Interesting look at a US exporter losing sales overseas not bc of retaliatory tariffs or higher input costs but bc his customers simply don't want to buy American any more. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Dewayne has a point about the two-tiered system of justice
An unusual sight: President Trump is getting ratio’d on Truth Social for asking his followers to move on from the Epstein files. Some say he’s “gaslighting,” others say it will cost him supporters or even “kill MAGA.” A sampling of some replies getting heavy engagement.

It seems worth an occasional reminder that he’s only able to do this because congress decided to get out of the business of regulating foreign commerce and just cross their fingers that an unhinged lunatic would never be in the White House
Congrats everyone, we now have 35% tariffs on Canada for no apparent reason

Guess “Alabama not having any teeth” isn’t just a bit anymore
In one of the worst states in the nation for dental health, more Alabama cities are considering removing fluoride from public drinking water.
In the last year, five cities in Alabama, have removed fluoride. Madison could soon become the sixth.

$5k plus a maxed out DCFSA will cover, like, a fiscal quarter of daycare.
New engagement hack: mention the $5k baby bonus without commenting on how much more expensive than that it is to raise kids. I hear they eat an entire egg almost every day.

Really lopsided case here when it comes to resources and proficiency of counsel. You almost have to feel bad for the US government being such underdogs.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely.

This country needs an unequivocal, full-throated condemnation of pandering protectionism. Let this be the moment that liberates the Democratic Party from the populists tying them to the same mercantilist, regressive, costly command-and-control economic policies that so often drive Trump’s agenda.
Opinion | Why are Democrats pulling their punches on Trump’s disastrous trade war?
The party is blowing its chance to mount an offensive against protectionism.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

Nonetheless, holy shit.
What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.
