Despite having having far more people, Russia also has about an equivalent GDP to California minus Los Angeles and Santa Clara County. Seems pretty low T and beta!

What an amazing event yesterday! Tom Morello brought together Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, and so many others at the Power to the People festival to speak up against Trump and remind us this country belongs to all of us.

Funny. I cannot recall any "diplomat" seeing their net worth rise by roughly 📈 $100 million to $200 million since taking the position. Yet Jared Kushner has. So, spare me any BS about his job description. It has nothing to do with diplomacy.

Another pre-election bribe. King Trump’s abrupt announcement to send $90 payments to seniors by dipping into a Medicare fund has rattled Capitol Hill. One GOP aide said that lawmakers had planned to use the money to offset funding for community health centers, and diabetes programs.

Senior leaders at Customs and Border Protection were left out of the decision to use their agency’s funds for a national ad campaign featuring Trump. They found out from a news report. Trump isn’t smart enough to come up with this himself. Our guess? Stephen Miller.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: A federal judge just HALTED the destruction of Big Bend. This is a massive victory for the landowners, local communities, and everyday Texans who stood up to protect one of our state's greatest treasures. The fight isn't over, but today, the people won.
Graphic from the Center for Biological Diversity over a scenic view of Big Bend. Large text reads, “MASSIVE WIN FOR BIG BEND.” Below, it says a federal judge has frozen all destruction throughout the Big Bend region until the project’s legality can be determined in court. The graphic adds that the Center will continue fighting to save Big Bend and asks supporters to join them.

In 2027 Seattle's minimum wage will be $22.14 per hour. That's more than THREE TIMES the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour—a rate that hasn't been raised since 2009. And yet somehow we're not the jobless wasteland orthodox economics would predict. Weird.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”
