I agree with Charlie Kirk on basically nothing. Except that he deserves the right, as every human does, to speak freely without the threat of violence.

Trump is absolutely wearing a Foley catheter. It’s a tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine into a bag strapped to the leg. That line down his pants? Not a crease. It’s tubing. Every step he takes sounds like the sloshing of a warm Capri Sun

A court just said Trump’s "Liberation Day” tariffs were illegal...and businesses might actually get REFUNDS. Excuse me while I try to get $30K back and figure out what emotion comes after “rage-sobbing into spreadsheets"

Trump blocking international students from Harvard makes sense when you realize he's against all “foreign intelligence”

Trump: Raises tariffs Also Trump: Demands Walmart keep prices low Imagine screaming about socialism for 8 years, then pushing literal price controls. Just waiting on the five-year plan and breadlines.

Summary of the U.S.-China tariffs: For the next 90 days, most Chinese imports HS base tariff +10% tariff (example: if you're importing paper goods, the base is 7%+10%= 17%) After 90 days: jumps to HS base+34% Temu/SHEIN? Still screwed: $100 flat per package OR 54% of item value

Wild how the people screaming “communism” at everything are cheering for an administration that’s practically a Soviet cosplay: isolationist economy, oligarchs buying favor, public policy shaped by personal loyalty, and fewer choices in the market—all wrapped in cult-of-personality worship.

we’re not supposed to notice the other shelves are empty. Thanks to tariffs, inventory is drying up, & retailers are scrambling to make things look normal. So they overfill shelves with whatever they can get. Expect more of this. The shortages are starting — and this is just the warm-up

Last week: Walmart, Target, and Home Depot meet with the White House. Days Later: Walmart tells Chinese suppliers to restart shipments. Reminder: It takes 30–45 days for boats to move from China to the U.S. Hard to move that fast without a little insider knowledge

Nothing says fiscal responsibility like firing IRS agents who collect $500 billion, proposing to eliminate income tax that brought in $275 billion in April alone, and betting everything on $15 billion in tariffs collected that same month. 4D-economic chess.

Columbus Day coming back under Trump feels right. Both men stumbled into things they didn’t understand and refused to admit they're wrong.

the mastermind behind Trump’s new tariff plan? Jared Kushner found him on Amazon because he liked the title of his book. that guy-Peter Navarro-repeatedly quoted a fake economist to support his views. The twist? The economist was an anagram of his own name this is who’s shaping U.S. trade policy

saying “tariffs work” without context is like saying sleeping pills help insomnia—sure, if you take one. take the whole bottle, and it’s a funeral, not a nap

At an Amazon sellers conference and all I’ve learned is: never buy supplements from anyone, ever. It’s the crypto bro of product categories — mass deregulation, zero oversight, and somehow everyone’s an “expert” after watching one YouTube video.

Remember when conservatives were outraged about PayPal & big banks canceling accounts over political views? the CFPB stepped in to stop that kind of ideological debanking last yr. Today, Senate Republicans will vote to repeal those protections So much for defending free speech
