Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

One frequent complaint used against new housing projects is that “they’re only building new fancy expensive condos/apartments, not regular housing for average people”.
But supply and demand means if you DON’T build it, you have less.
And this paper shows if you do build it… prices are lowered.

Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

I guarantee you could post this on every social media outlet in existence and in a few years you'd have people swearing up and down that the problem with the grid is solar or wind or some such nonsense
big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

This is disgusting, and the USL leadership should be ashamed of themselves.
This post by the USLPA needs to be seen and read.
The league withheld the materials from the USL Championship trophy celebration in retaliation for the players walking out in their USLPA shirts along with cutting out broadcast angles with that message.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

DOGE resulted in the FAA becoming slower, less effective, and now that we’re coming out of shutdown it’s taking longer to get back up to speed because of DOGE processes to get some of our contract staff back up and working.
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

And it’s contrary to the constitution and the emoluments clause. Not sure why originalist sorts so dismissive of emoluments clause but the risk of putting self interest above that of the country is something the founders and early Americans were quite concerned about.
Trump bought Boeing bonds while rewarding the company billions in federal contracts.
He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.
He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy.
Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.
