Pretty much my feeling about Trump and the U.S. Men’s Hockey team laughing it up in the locker room

Brad Setser says that "China is not dumping US Treasuries". This isn't likely to be nearly as exciting as an article that claims that "China is dumping US Treasuries!", but the math, the data and the reasoning are much better. www.ft.com/content/9ea5...

"Estée Lauder #$EL Eyes M&A Opportunities to Help Turnaround, CEO Says" Sigh ... Net Debt / Non-GAAP EBITDA is 2.8x ($6.3bn net debt incl. operating leases) Also, "too early to say how the US Supreme Court striking down Trump’s tariffs will impact" EL

"Hi, I am a hateful sleazebag who has accomplished nothing but jacking off on podcasts with the bros. I am now letting the security of our country fail, while I finally get to live like one of the rich white frat boys."

ICE agents grabbed a 16-year-old asylum seeker--which they aren't supposed to do They kept him from his parents -which they aren't supposed to do They shipped him out of state, to a Christian ministry, which they aren't supposed to do. Then they *lost* him. www.startribune.com/how-ice-labe...

it's best to keep criticism to 'this piece is a mistake' than to be wholly condemnatory, but the instant defensiveness also puts people's backs up and plays into images of journalism - from whatever camp - as incapable of taking valid criticism

Seriously though I again ask any of these weirdos who think staying on twitter is a value-neutral proposition: what, specifically, would its owner and his supporters have to do in order for you to decide to leave? If all that has happened so far has not crossed your line... where is your line?

Gonna need to investigate anyone who was ever in a young republicans group chat at this point

Why the hell do his own supporters keep trying to (redact) him?

Care economy in crisis. My colleague Matt Nestler moderates panel of the extraordinary stress on our entire economy due to care needs of elderly. Stunning shares of the population providing unpaid care - women dominate but men play a larger role and often ignored - 40% unpaid elder care by men.

Literally

Imagine if we didn't have all this video evidence nowadays.

Liberty University is only good at churning out dumb or vile people

INBOX: the police chief of Quakertown, Pa., led a group of plainclothes officers to disrupt a peaceful high school student sidewalk protest yesterday. They threw an underage girl to the ground, choked her, and disconnected all calls to the detention center where she and others are currently held.

Anyone have a favorite hotel in Edinburgh? Debating between Balmoral The Scotsman Kimpton Charlotte Square W Hotel #Edinburgh

Like where is Disney on this horrible story? www.miaminewtimes.com/news/immigra...

What the hell is going on lately?

Kinda like how Sears was destroyed.

What the FUCK

Every Parent of a mass shooter needs to be charged for enabling these horrific massacres

Tesla made suppliers tool up for 120k units/year of this turd, it sold a third of that in year one, and then sales fell by 50% in year two. Biggest flop in modern automotive history, and it isn't close.

Gavin Newsom is just here to make Pete Buttigieg look like a good option

"the american concentration camps will be ADA compliant"

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

Olympic athletes, some of whom are teenagers, are held to a higher level of expected maturity than the most powerful man in the world.

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

I'm not lowering prices now that tariffs are down, you want low prices don't vote for the inflation devil.

All this will lead to is more deaths. Any idea of arming for some kind of insurrection is just dystopian fantasy.

It is pretty telling that it comes as something of a surprise that the Supreme Court sided with the Constitution over Trump.

Naturalized citizen here, realizing they are definitely coming for birthright citizenship now 🤔😬

Just realized how many lawyers they're going to need in the US Court of International trade, it's going to be fishing with dynamite for plaintiffs seeking to recoup tariffs paid IMO. Say it with me now, they have run out of lawyers.

This should not have taken 10 months. It was clearly unconstitutional from the get go and should have been struck down in 24 hours along with the birthright citizenship issue.

The real crime is exposing us as a movement of snitches and vigilantes.

New from me: What do Jeff Bezos, Bari Weiss, and RFK Jr. have in common? Each has used the trust trap: they bemoan a loss in institutional legitimacy as a justification for radical actions that further undercut trust in their institutions. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-trust-...

Kolanovic is really on a push lately — highlighting how the hyperscaler capex boom is benefiting Asia more than the US.

When Tom Homan, Trump and other Republicans defend the masking of ICE agents, I can't help but think of Orson Welles announcing on his radio show his intention of identifying the South Carolina police officer who violently attacked and blinded the uniformed Black veteran Isaac Woodard in 1946.

This school year my daughter started walking to school with her friend. Then one other friend joined. Then another friend. While it doesn’t sound like a lot, these are 8 car trips that were taken off the network.

the quoted article on just how much the CFTC is being gutted by its sole commissioner in service of a pro-crypto agenda is worth reading too

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

UK can arrest royalty, US can't even arrest a shitty former reality TV host.

This is how Trump says the n-word
