Duffy wagons would only be available in the U.S., because other countries won’t follow the U.S. in lowering fuel standards. And Trump is a lame duck now, making it unlikely that the reduced standards will have any staying power. Auto manufacturers have high risk and low reward to make big changes.

What could possibly go wrong? Microcars are not feasible in the U.S., because Americans love SUVs, and every vehicle is a bus in comparison. Microcars would be death traps.

Lutnick admits deportations are hurting America’s small businesses. Whether people want to admit or not, population growth is required for a healthy economy. The entirety of the U.S. stock market is oriented around growth. Companies need a to add customers or raise prices. No one invests in flat.

On one hand, the U.S. is selling out the security of the EU and Ukraine to Russia, even threatening to stop selling weapons and providing intelligence to Ukraine. On the other hand, the U.S. wants the bloc to trust and buy weapons from the U.S. www.politico.eu/article/chri...

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁 I hope you enjoy a day filled with friends, family, and good food.

Lutnick’s argument is ridiculous. Applying the same logic, the US should stop manufacturing all electronics because we lack a sizable rare earths mining industry. The EU has deemed electrification to be critical, so it should build its industrial capacity.

MAGA Twitter / X isn’t American at all. Charitably, it’s rage-bating for cash. More likely, it’s foreign influence. There’s a temptation to see the revelation as a gotcha moment, but journalists, politicians, and pundits will all stay. The show must go on. www.thedailybeast.com/top-maga-inf...

Trump's prioritization of speed in policy and of personal devotion in officials make it all inherently brittle, and compound the regime durability problems presented by his age. It's hardly laudable, but: much of the acquiescence we see isn't adoption of his goals, it's waiting him out.

I agree that we could all benefit by being nicer to each other, but Duffy ignores the obvious. The travel experience has gotten much worse over several decades: smaller seats, fewer amenities, TSA lines, long wait times in planes for airline metrics, and no airline accountability for the experience.

Congratulations to Russia and North Korea for winning the US to their side and selling out Ukraine and Europe in a symbolic end to NATO. Peace in our time. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Mike Johnson claims House Republicans did "some of the best work of their careers" during the govt shutdown

“As of November 5th, it estimated that U.S.A.I.D.’s dismantling has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.” www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

This could be the end. Charges were rushed because the statute of limitations was expiring: “A federal judge is weighing a claim Thursday that Trump’s handpicked prosecutor…was illegitimately appointed and ineligible to wield the power of the Justice Department.” www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

I’m reminded of how offended the US was with Canada’s for its ad showing Ronald Reagan talking about not liking tariffs, because it interfered with our politics. www.axios.com/2025/11/12/t...

The median age of a first-time homebuyer in the US is 40. You’ll be able to own your home when you’re 90.
