The Pentagon said the Iran war cost $11 billion in the first week. But it's way way way more than that. Hundreds of billions more. Your family's share is thousands of dollars. And I've got receipts. Lemme youtubesplain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCF_...

No he cannot. As of March 2026, a U.S. President cannot unilaterally withdraw from NATO due to a 2023 law requiring either two-thirds Senate approval or an Act of Congress. This law, Section 1250A of the FY2024 NDAA, was enacted specifically to prevent a president from exiting the alliance alone.

Here's what worries me. The U.S. is less oil-dependent than our peers, and so Wall Street has responded far less to the war in Iran than financial markets abroad. When the country calling the shots feels only a small share of the pain, that's a dangerous asymmetry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfTL...

The scale at which the President is profiting from his post is staggering. Perhaps past presidents and their self-dealing snuck out with a million or so — a briefcase full of cash. This time, it's billions, which you should visualize as a fleet of school buses filled with Benjamin Franklins.

Not sure if it's obvious how bananas this is. The usual tariff argument is that it helps producers and hurts consumers (by more). But Trump's tariffs don't even help (most) producers. It's genuinely difficult to design a tariff regime that helps less than 4% of manufacturers!
