The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.
Lots of people are going to die.

Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

Project 2025’s plans on immigration may be driven by a desire to preserve the power of a shrinking white population. But Trump just reinforced his desire to make the U.S. more ethnically homogeneous by deporting anyone "not a net asset."

What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself by living in areas less vulnerable to ground or sea attack from our enemies, like say, Colorado, then you should pay less for national defense than people who live in coastal or border areas more likely to need defending.
Markwayne Mullin on healthcare: "What the president would like to do is say, hey, if you take care of yourself -- you don't smoke, you don't dip, you're not drinking, you're not overweight, you're working out -- then you should pay less than the guy that obviously is not taking care of himself."
