Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett. At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to: Net worth -> Lifetime Giving 50K->$30 100K->$60 500K->$300 $1M->$600 Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*. www.forbes.com/sites/forbes...

CEOs in response to Trump tariffs: We’re in shock, losing money, thrown for a loop, Never imagined he’d go this far. Me, before Trump took office: He’ll do widespread tariffs and break the system of global trade. Just listen to what he has repeatedly said, and observe what he already did.
Privately, several chief executives told me that they recognized that imposing the tariffs, as well as Mr. Trump’s intractable support of them, was a potentially cataclysmic mistake. “Few of us ever imagined he would go this far,” one told me. “He could well bring down the economy and himself.”

From: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/opinion/trump-tariffs-stock-market-recession.htmlThe theory here is simple: Trump will do what he has repeatedly promised to do and what he started doing in his first term. He will impose widespread tariffs, undercutting the postwar open trade regime, which disincentivizes conflict by promoting economic interdependence.

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

Kennedy stumbled over his facts when Cassidy pushed him to describe his ideas about Medicaid reform. He describes the program as being fully federally funded. Spending on Medicaid is actually split between the states and the federal government. Kennedy also described the premiums and deductibles as being too high when, except in very rare cases, Medicaid enrollees do not pay either of those types of fees.

You're not owning MAGA by dehumanizing the trans people who you don't like, all you're doing is sending a signal that the existence of trans people is conditional to you. It's not funny, it's not clever. Don't do it!

do you know how hysterical you sound claiming that a guy who endorsed germany's neo-nazi party, unbanned neo-nazis on his website, reposts neo-nazis daily, endorsed the great replacement, and whose family emigrated to south africa in support of apartheid, intentionally gave a nazi salute? absurd!

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

I genuinely don’t have any blame or recriminations to share, and I’m not angry at anyone who wants to stop fascism in whatever way they can. Yes, we should learn from mistakes, but the fault for the rise of fascism lies with the fascists. Always and forever.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming: 1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.
