“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” And so I fight. I fight fair. I win.

Watch as U.S. senators react to Trump saying he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation when making decisions about the war with Iran.

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Federal Judges have a very real and well-established reason to fear doxing and violence and yet I doubt anyone thinks it would be acceptable for them to preside from the bench in a hood.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Crude Futures down to 60.82 This is terrible news for the US economy. 1. Oil drilling has halted -> like $120-150-170 oil when economy recovers 2. Means economic activity is slowing dramatically.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

PPI came in at 0.9%, the highest in three years This is much higher than expected and roughly a 12% inflation rate if annualized. Much of this was in Services, but this is just a gigantic number. Cutting rates prices are going up as much as simply an impossibility www.cnbc.com

Roughly one-quarter of consumer spending is extremely insensitive to economic conditions. Important to keep in mind when you think about how labor markets (and expectations thereof) impact consumer spending.
