His priorities are showing. When gasoline prices spiked, Trump stood on the sidelines. When diesel spiked, he jumped into action. Who is he trying to serve?

New in PN: Retire in peace "McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government?"

Retire in peace

McConnell is the latest example of an incapacitated politician refusing to let go.

I know I am not the median voter. But when I watch Trump performances like the one we just endured in North Carolina, I can't escape the feeling that our problems go much deeper than "affordability" and we're whistling past the graveyard if we reduce our politics to that issue.

Trump’s tariffs were sold as leverage, deficit reduction, factory revival, national security, and revenue.⁣ ⁣ What happened? The goods deficit hit a record in 2025 and much of the tariff revenue was later refunded.⁣ newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

Did Trump’s Tariffs Achieve Trump’s Goals?

I didn’t grade the trade war against an economist’s ideal. I graded it against Trump’s own promises.

The Census Bureau says it found 24k noncitizens who voted in 2020. Here's the issue.⁣ ⁣ It's hard match citizenship and voter records perfectly, especially when some records are missing SSNs. ⁣ ⁣ We cover it in today's substack: newsletter.platypuseconomics.com/p/…

Who Put the Census Bureau in the Propaganda Business?

A once-trusted agency has dressed up partisan election claims as official statistics—and hidden the evidence needed to test them.

I’m not sure how to convey this succinctly to legacy media who continues to go to Manchin for his opinion. But let me try: No one, and I mean no one, gives a fuck what Joe Manchin thinks about anything.

2. Most of the money Whatley has spent on private jets has gone to an LLC linked to Carl Andrew “Drew” Boggs — a felon convicted of defrauding the federal government.

Fluff yeah! 🐾

A tiny black fluffy cat with oversized round eyes sits innocently in the middle of a messy room. A broken blue vase lies shattered on the floor to the left, while an overturned plant pot spills soil and a leafy stem beside a pile of pastel pillows on the right. Above the cat, the text reads, “Even the best souls need to misbehave sometimes, just to rest a little from being nice.” Next to the cat, a small speech bubble says, “Fluff yeah!” The illustration uses soft, muted pastel colors with a cozy, slightly vintage feel.

Imagine taking a few Bible verses on human sexuality as literal divine commands from God for all society, but minimizing 2,000+ verses calling for the care of immigrants, the marginalized, the oppressed, and the poor to be a personal choice.

Cat’s law 🐾🤍

A four-panel comic featuring two black cats with large white eyes sitting on green grass against a soft purple background.

Panel 1: One cat asks, “Do you know Murphy’s law?” The other replies, “Yes.”

Panel 2: The second cat explains, “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”

Panel 3: The first cat asks, “What about our law?”

Panel 4: Both cats suddenly have huge excited eyes. One cat grins and says, “Anything that can fall off a table… should.”
