Guess she thought โ€˜Back the Blueโ€™ was a home dรฉcor trend, not a policy stance.
Nvidia just scored a massive AI win โ€” supplying **260,000 Blackwell chips** to South Koreaโ€™s tech giants like Samsung, SK, Hyundai & Naver. ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ’ฅ Jensen Huang calls it Koreaโ€™s new export: *โ€œintelligence.โ€* NVDA stock is rising again โ€” the $5T chip king isnโ€™t slowing down. #AI #NVDA

Thank you to everyone whoโ€™s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials โ€” including many of my opponents โ€” who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:
Wild how feeding kids costs you $36 a year, but feeding billionaires costs your retirement. Priorities really said โ€˜let them eat loopholes.โ€™ ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ธ
Trump called his meeting with Xi a โ€œ12 out of 10.โ€ Which is impressiveโ€”considering they agreed to nothing, fixed nothing, and both left smiling like men who just traded IOUs written in crayon.
An anonymous donor paying the military? Great, now our next warโ€™s gonna have a sponsor. โ€˜Operation Freedomโ€”brought to you by Pepsi.โ€™
Trumpโ€™s โ€œmineral diplomacyโ€ tour in Asia: signing deals, flexing tariffs, and calling it strategy. Meanwhile, China still controls 70% of rare earths, and Americaโ€™s acting like it just discovered rocks. #TradeWars #RareEarths #Geopolitics #Trump #China #Tariffs #Economy
the House of Representatives โ€” now proudly offering part-time hours with full-time conspiracies.
Inflation ticked back up to 3% in Septemberโ€”just in time for the Fed to pretend itโ€™s โ€œdata-drivenโ€ while half the dataโ€™s stuck in shutdown limbo. Nothing says stability like guessing the economyโ€™s health from last monthโ€™s vibes. #CPI #Inflation #Fed

Kering might be saying โ€œau revoirโ€ to its beauty arm โ€” selling it to Lโ€™Orรฉal for $4B. Creed and Balenciaga perfumes meet the house of Maybelline. Luxuryโ€™s getting a makeover, and the Pinault familyโ€™s debt is about to smell a lot better. ๐Ÿ’„๐Ÿ’ฐ

Prince Andrew has been stripped of all his royal titles.

Exerts from Virginia Guthrieโ€™s memoir, detailing her abuse by Andrew, played a role in his downfall. Tragically, she committed suicide last April.

Itโ€™s on all of us to make sure the other Epstein survivors get justice before itโ€™s too late.
Absolutely. I barely made it out of Whole Foods alive โ€” they were out of oat milk again.
Goldโ€™s up again, and so are the delusions. Every few decades someone swears *โ€œthis time is different.โ€* Spoiler: it never is. The only thing that stays golden is our ability to repeat financial history with worse Wi-Fi. ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ“ˆ #Gold #Investing #ThisTimeIsDifferent

I'm trying to accept the things I cannot change. I'm trying real hard. But those things suck so bad. They're awful, the things. I don't like them
At this point, Congress isnโ€™t adjourned โ€” itโ€™s on an extended vacation from reality. Twelve workdays in three months? Thatโ€™s not a legislative body, thatโ€™s a part-time podcast.
Markets are having a full-blown panic attack: regional U.S. banks tank, global stocks tumble, gold hits new highs, and everyone suddenly remembers what โ€œriskโ€ means. Mortgage rates dip, but buyers still canโ€™t afford the โ€œAmerican dream.โ€ Welcome to another week of *fun*. ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ“‰ #Stocks #Gold #Economy

a key thing about vought โ€” and all of these guys โ€” is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they canโ€™t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society
What heโ€™s railing against is a profound shift in culture, statusโ€ฆ Heโ€™s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist โ€œruling eliteโ€ - but โ€œeliteโ€ isnโ€™t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define โ€œreal Americaโ€ and who gets to belong.
If the Rams lose to *that* lineup, they should skip film review and go straight to group therapy.
China says it โ€œdoesnโ€™t want a trade war, but isnโ€™t afraid of one.โ€ Translation: brace for impact. Trumpโ€™s 100% tariffs wiped out $2T in U.S. market value in a day โ€” so much for โ€œwinning.โ€ When elephants fight, investors get trampled. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ“‰

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

Americaโ€™s children deserve better than this.
Somewhere an ICE agent just Googled โ€œWhy is there a frog emoji?โ€ and accidentally radicalized himself with a Pepe meme. Stay safe, Portland โ€” ironyโ€™s in the air tonight. ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿ’™
