Conservatives wanted Barack Obama impeached over the money he agreed to pay Iran (which was Iran’s money, frozen in U.S. banks), which was $1.7 billion. Trump is going to hand Iran 176 times that amount. trib.al/YEFHCNb

The economist Alan Cole recently became a folk hero for betting his life savings that DOGE would fail, and winning. But it turns out the Musk and Trump loyalists he took to the cleaners are only slightly more gullible than political, financial, and media elites. www.offmessage.net/p/elites-mag...

Let me see if I've got the Paramount deal correct: A company worth $15b with about $15b in debt is spending $110b to buy a competitor which will leave them with $79b in debt AND they're paying another competitor (Netflix) $2b for the privilege?

Fun with stocks: I bought BYD shares in mid-2025 and since then it’s gone down around 20% while Tesla shares (who’d I don’t own) have gone up 25%.

Sad stuff about the Washington Post layoffs. It’s almost certainly due to declining readership over the past couple years as Jeff Bezos truly revealed himself as one of the worst billionaires. Looking forward to whoever reports that story out for the @nytimes.com

Exactly. It goes towards the Fetterman interview yesterday as well - holding public office is often performative and routine. However, a major part of the job description is to shape public opinion through words and actions. If you’re not willing to do that, get out of politics.

The Democrat vs Republican debate is fundamentally based on one party that doesn’t believe in the federal government (for various reasons). At least Harriet here admits that openly. The curious thing is why they even run for positions in that government, likely boils down to paychecks for no work.

The absolute main takeaway from the election was Trump got centrist and low-info voters on the promise of lowering prices. Should be front page, Apple News feed-level stories about this change in “tone”.
