To be clear, there is zero chance Zacharia took the Chinese bar exam. She doesn't speak Chinese and only Chinese citizens can take it.

Trump, for over a decade: "I wouldn't give him a state dinner." Now: A full state dinner at the White House for China's Xi Jinping, complete with the arrival ceremony, a gift, and billionaires everywhere.

Absolutely insane stuff going on in the PC market right now. Prices of GPUs, DRAM, SSDs are continuing to explode, so PC prices are going up and demand drying up. This hurts makers of other components so much that they are forced to slash *their* prices. Cases, PSUs, motherboards, CPUs crashing.

Universal healthcare is a wildly popular centrist position. It is also a pro business position as it boosts labor market dynamism and removes what for most firms is a non core operation and cost. Asking how it will be paid for in a system as rife w/ inefficiencies as the US sort of misses the point

Despite all the accusations of crimes and cover-ups, the Trump admin has never actually prosecuted or jailed anyone. The supposed stolen 2020 election, Jan 6 deep state, Dr Fauci, etc. All of its is just theater for the base, revving them up. In the end, will undermine faith in gov and institutions.

Signum Global’s Andrew Bishop developed a “Hormuz TACO Index” (based on Brent, 10Y UST yields, Hormuz crossings & S&P 500) to map out presidential pivot points Conclusion: “extrapolating linearly would suggest that a TACO could happen as early as 7/22 and ‘should’ happen no later than 7/30”

Trump's embarrassing rant last night about an election he lost six years ago made two things very clear: 1. He's not focused on making life better for Americans. Not even close. 2. We should act now to counteract any efforts to undermine our elections. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

The Iran War has already eclipsed the supposed savings from DOGE's ill-considered cuts to USAID. And that's just considering the direct costs of the war. Cutting government waste takes time and discipline, not reckless dismantling of life-saving global health programs.
