“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

“The #Patriots haven’t played any good teams all season!” Patriots then beat the 11-6 #chargers in a playoff game… “But the Chargers are a horrible 11-6 team!” is what sports talk radio will bitch about for the next 7 days.

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help. Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead. He continues to be a national embarrassment.

Stumbled on this amazing 60 Minutes segment from 2007, about the world champion chess player and dissident, Garry Kasparov. Crazy to see how Putin was portrayed then, and even more crazy to compare 2007 Russia to 2025 USA. Segment begins around 25:00 in. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTQZ...

When Laura Ingraham was a student at Dartmouth, she attended a meeting of the Gay Student Union and wrote down the names of the attendees, which she then published in the student newspaper. This was a time when it was very dangerous to be outed as gay. She is a dispicable, vile person.

An "economist" so dumb I had to explain to him how the import price index works last month will now lead the BLS, kill me

a tweet from EJ Antoni that reads "Import prices just came in WAAAY below expectations: June was up just 0.1% M/M, -0.2% Y/Y, while May saw a huge downward revision from flat to -0.4% M/M; still waiting for tariffs to be passed on by foreign producers..."

I replied "The import price index measure pre-tariff prices, the fact that pre-tariff prices are basically flat means Americans are paying the tariffs. Though I wouldn’t expect a Heritage foundation guy like yourself to be smart enough to understand basic stuff like that."

There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care. It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

politico.com

Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession

One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.
