A day after his ‘highly productive’ call with Putin, Trump echoes the Kremlin’s main talking point by blaming Ukraine, the U.S., and NATO for Putin’s war. What a fu*king traitor

Canada just signed a trade deal with Ecuador so the orange juice options will increase now that Florida Oranges aren't being bought. Oasis is a Canadian brand. Minute Maid is bottled here using Brazilian oranges. I guess Florida can sell elsewhere? If anyone will buy it at this point…

If I was waiting on someone for a high-level meeting, and they walked in with their child (like Musk did...again), I'd walk out and tell them...as I walked, "When you've found childcare for long enough to meet with me, get in touch with us, and not a second before."

Whenever you hear someone sneer about scientific research that seems useless to them — “they’re studying the spit of lizards?!” — remind them that’s exactly how we got Ozempic. globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

As companies shell out big bucks for Super Bowl commercials, remember that many said they were forced to raise prices due to inflation. Also remember that average profit margins in nearly every sector in the S&P 500 are running near or above 10-year highs. Hello???

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income

This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Thanks. This clarifies nothing.

Tweet from the White House Press Secretary: “This is NOT a rescission of the federal funding freeze.

It is simply a rescission of the OMB memo.

Why? To end any confusion created by the court's injunction.

The President's EO's on federal funding remain in full force and effect, and will be rigorously implemented.”
