This is absolutely insane to post right now. The man is single-handedly crashing the economy and House Dems put out a vid saying, but wait tariffs can be good!!!!

all of these Democrats doing the “well some tariffs are good but not these tariffs” mealy mouthed nonsense are completely missing the moment. The Democratic voter base has NEVER been more pro-free trade than it is now!

I’m from the Rust Belt. My dad was a steelworker. I know people who lost everything when the industry collapsed. Tariffs aren’t bringing those jobs back—they make working people poorer. It’s embarrassing to see Democrats echo Trump’s economically illiterate protectionism.

Older books are selling, newer ones aren’t. Old music is all the rage, newer artists can barely get played. Older video games and old movie franchises suck up all the attention. In almost every field, old art is strangling new art. 🧵

The war against mRNA research is genuinely insane. The mRNA COVID vaccines were a spectacular success at reducing severe illness among adults. Their benefits outside of COVID remain uncertain. That’s … what the science is for. Instead, according to the NYT: - “States and

you know trump's tweet about this is gonna be insane

Even as a lapsed Yankee Catholic, I found the first American pope’s election deeply moving - his Augustinian fervor makes it all the sweeter. Confessions and City of God are must-reads for anyone remotely theistic.

I just spent $100 on a mango and grapes in Tokyo. Money well spent

When your protectionism has no limiting principle and you think comparative advantage is something simply conjured up by policy this makes sense

The Democratic Party faces plenty of hurdles to stay politically competitive, but one key challenge is that the party has become an ideologically outlier on cultural issues. From 2004 to 2024 Democrats have become a socially liberal party from a center-right party.

A null result for the effects of rather substantial transfers to young children, so far. It is still too young to get fine-grained outcome information, but this isn’t a good sign for transfers helping all that much.

FWIW, Vernon Smith was awarded the Econ Nobel in 2002 for running experiments and proving that it didn't take much to get to competitive markets.

New SF public school plan would - eliminate homework and weekly tests from counting toward semester grade - allow students to take the final exam multiple times - convert all B grades into As, and all Fs into Cs It’s hard to see the difference between this policy and what

“It is a fact that we need much more housing. When people deny that fact, they’re serving landlord interests.”

US Court of International Trade just issued decision in case against Trump tariffs filed by Liberty Justice Center and me. All "Liberation Day"/IEEPA tariffs ruled illegal, and blocked by injunction! see link for opinion. I will have much more to say soon: cit.uscourts.gov/sites/cit/file…

Out of the three justices on the court—one was appointed by Trump and another was appointed by Reagan. All three ruled against him.

Zohran polling higher than Myrie is a good signal NYC still hasn’t caught sight of the plot.

It's almost like Trump (and Miller, etc) never actually cared about pro-natal policies and just used that to dupe conservatives into supporting his anti-wealth agenda

ICE dress up like baseball fans—arrest a grandma selling hot dogs outside stadium. The elderly woman's hot dog cart was surrounded by agents disguised in San Diego Padres fan gear—then they handcuffed her and took her away. "She is no criminal. That's the sad point," said a
