Everything that’s wrong with economics—in one headline. When GDP is fine, but people are struggling, the model isn’t incomplete. It’s telling you exactly who it’s built for.

From 1440 Daily: At the same time as the US is putting all of its economic might into imprisoning people, China is supplying EV’s to Canada and Mexico. Detroit, are you okay with this?

Republicans used to pride themselves in carrying around little pocket Constitutions. Do they now carry Sharpies to assist in on-the-go redactions? open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Trump "encouraging" Congress to pass the discharge petition is all theater. Trump doesn't need Congress to release the Epstein Files. DOJ reports to HIM. And Pam will do as he commanded—not release the files, or at least any that are embarrassing to him.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Succinctly put

This is the image of the Trump/Miller/Noem policy— a person shows up to do the right thing and vanishes. Nothing about this is “great”

PBS has the uncut video of the press conference. Kristi Noem is speaking without interruption until we hear the scuffle of Senator Padilla being attacked

This is the entire press conference. Kristi Noem lies freely for 6 minutes before Senator Padilla enters the room, and he barely opens his mouth before they attack him. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

As bad as Tesla’s earnings report was, it includes *hundreds of millions of dollars* of regulated rebates. Without those, the company would have reported a LOSS. Remember that next time Elon rails against government regulations.

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Marc Andreessen—brilliant yet alarmingly flawed. Each seems afflicted by a supremacy complex, confusing nepotism and sheer luck with genuine excellence. Their complete lack of humility and humanity is truly astonishing.
