Trump says tariffs will pay for the $5,000 checks. But tariffs have brought in about $140 billion extra so far, against a $1.2 trillion promise. That covers roughly eleven cents per dollar. The rest just gets borrowed. newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/i-promise-...

I Promise I'm Good for It
So does the president. His check is $5,000, mine is $5,000, and so far the two of us have funded the exact same number of them.

Canada's retaliatory tariffs are clever. They're aimed at aluminum, machinery, and daily, hitting the Midwest swing states. This will be an exciting midterm election cycle. youtu.be/4FIEVDfD2JE

Hillary Clinton: "Xi is thinking, 'They they can't defend anybody anymore bc they don't have capacity. Maybe we can coerce Taiwan into giving up bc there's not going to be support.' If you look at the world map, it's not favorable to the US largely bc of wrongheaded decisions by this administration"

Elon Musk offered his ex, Ashley St. Clair, $40,000,000 not to tell the truth about him in Alex Gibney’s new, scathing documentary. She told Musk to take a hike. Apparently, Elon is *furious* that the four-hour film is unflattering. But, in fairness, how could it not be—unless it were fiction?

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

The parallel is almost too neat: a demolition of something sacred carried out under the auspices of improvement. In both cases, the act is cloaked in the language of renewal but animated by ego, sustained by spectacle, and shadowed by the pursuit of personal gain.
