The WSJ Editorial Board thinks that the Heritage Foundation’s embrace of Tucker Carlson, who has embraced antisemite/white nationalist Nick Fuentes, doesn’t taint MAGA or Trump.

Who did Tucker campaign for in 2024?
Trump.

Has Trump disavowed Tucker during this scandal? No. The opposite.

But because of steep discounting in turkey prices and definitely not 25% cheaper! All vegetables are more expensive. The raw ones by 16%

Jim Jordan begged someone to not rat out the sexual assault that was happening at Ohio State. He was crying on the phone. Groveling. This man threw out all his dignity to try and cover for horrifying crimes of sexual abuse. Think about that for a moment.

I want to take a moment to thank the entire Elias Law Group team who worked on the Texas redistricting case as well as our fearless clients. The thirteen Black and Latino voters we represented stood up to challenge Texas's unprecedented mid-decade redistricting. We all ow them a debt of gratitude.

Never forget that 15/19 September 11 terrorists were from Saudia Arabia and the U.S. government has never told us what the Saudi government knew about the attack!

The Russians are now directly attacking Poland, a NATO member country, and the US does nothing about it. Trump’s weakness only emboldens Putin.

No, you can’t get the flu from the flu vaccine.

The temporary side effects that you might feel after getting the vaccine are your immune system reacting to the inactive proteins from the surface of the virus.
What doctors say about one of the biggest flu shot myths
“The influenza vaccine shows the immune system what potential components of the virus it should focus its efforts on,” one expert said.

The end of dollar hegemony will transform U.S. debt from a fiscal drag into a high-yield fusion bomb.

For decades dollarization has generated structural demand for U.S. treasuries, depressing the interest rates the U.S. needs to offer to service its debt.
one thing that I think we really don't think about is if Trump fucks up America's macro privileges or role in the international system and Americans are forced to end up dealing with a economic system that doesn't allow for the same old fiscal fixes as before
god I remember the fandom Russian zoomers on Twitter during the start of the war who were either "what can I do, I can't be held responsible" or "wow it's so mean that the West sanctioned us from our favourite fandoms"

Pam Bondi was AG of Florida
Is she in these files ?
If so shouldn’t there be a special prosecutor investigating her?
Too few people are talking about the fact that for eight years (2011-2019), while Jeffrey Epstein was raping young girls and trafficking them to hundreds of other rapists from his home base in Palm Beach, Florida, the Florida district attorney was Pam Bondi. Connect the dots.

Noem spent over $200 million in taxpayer dollars to film videos over 2xs last year’s budget.
The money was funneled using a “no bid” contract to an unknown LLC created days earlier and is tied to the husband of her deputy at DHS.

A 30-year mortgage currently has an interest rate of 6.3%. A reasonable guess it that a 50-year mortgage rate would be about 7.0%.

⇒ The monthly payment on a $500k mortgage:
- 30 years: $3,050 per month
- 50 years: Only $100 less at $2,950 (but 240 months longer).

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Wonderful news! If only we had a program like USAID that could help ensure it's distributed worldwide!
“This is a very important development,” says Dyann Wirth, a malaria researcher at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health who was not involved in the work. “We’ve been looking for this for a long time.”
