Instead of giving our own money back to us, he could just cancel the fucking tariffs.
The White House is trying to tamp down Americans’ economic anxieties by dangling the prospect of tariff rebates and large tax refunds next year, hoping that the money might assuage voters who blame President Trump for their rising cost of living.
Trump Dangles Cash Payments to Assuage Affordability Concerns

it is really illuminating however, that the concept of "systemic discrimination" is one they can fully understand when they want to (arguing why only white men should have prestigious jobs)

Biden nominated Carr to remain a member of the FCC because he believed Carr's longstanding statements of support for an independent FCC focused on preserving freedom of expression on the airwaves were truthful, and not fraudulent.

KIM: I want to read you a quote & see if you agree with it. 'Congress long ago determined that the FCC is an independent expert agency.' Is that correct?

Buttigieg on Indiana Republicans: "To be clear, they didn't stop being Republicans. This is a conservative state. These are conservative legislators. But they figured out that the right thing to do and the smart thing to do was to say no to the White House, no to Donald Trump, and not to JD Vance."

Poor guy has to work with a system that ensures the people have a say in how they’re governed. Sounds awful.

The ACC has a top-10ish team but the league might miss the CFP because that team didn't play for the title, because the conferences are too big and the ACC's best teams barely played each other at all.

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let you start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion one can draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years.

Alabama moving ahead of Notre Dame is utterly confounding. Nothing happened last weekend to warrant that.
Just reeks of the committee setting up Alabama to not fall out if it loses the SEC championship. And it's not supposed to think like that.

Miami still at 12, doesn't play this week, neither does Notre Dame, which fell to No. 10. Alabama moved up to No. 9. BYU is No. 11.
So with Miami and ND not playing, the question would seem to be if Alabama and BYU both lose convincingly, does Miami slip in?

talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.
