I guess they all hate America.
People are talking about the choice of Bad Bunny for the Super Bowl halftime show as an appeal to an international audience but here’s some data—his 2022 tour was the highest grossing tour in *North America*, Latinos are 20% of the US population, Benito is an American and Latin music is just good

78% of Americans like the ACA tax subsidies. 57% of MAGAts like them as well. 73% of those who get ACA subsidies go to people in red states. Trump will back down under one condition: everyone must no longer call it ObamaCare and call it TrumpCare.

Why we are waging war with Venezuela and we threaten to seize Canada. It has never been about anything else.

It’s just awful. This event makes me consider the possibility our president could shake the cartels down next. It seems everything unethical or having grift potential is on the table. Disturbing.

A snapshot into Disney’s future. Below is Target’s 5 year stock performance vs the XRT (a stock ETF that is a basket of US retail stocks). XRT went up 73% and Target went down 40%.

I wonder if the anti Disney backlash changes this decision?
I must say it felt really good cancelling my Hulu and Disney+ subscriptions.

Studies show strong public support for China’s political system
Conventional narratives in the West hold that the government in China lacks popular legitimacy and only retains power through coercion.

25 percent of US physicians are foreign med graduates. The US could not produce enough. Now they don’t want to come here (and are not welcome), and many US students will not have enough money to graduate. This will be hyperacute in rural communities. MAGA really has no clue what they have done.

Trump Hotel Damascus will be the symbol of that hope. The local Syrians can’t wait to tee up at the first hole.
President Trump’s announcement in a speech in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday that he would lift U.S. sanctions on Syria unleashed hope across the country that life would improve after more than a decade of war and deprivation.

$100 billion in Trump crypto and Trump Hotel Warsaw, and Trump will allow US soldiers to die for Poland.
Poland is preparing to repel a Russian invasion, including a plan to train every adult male in the country to be ready for war. We go to Poland to see what the preparations look like.

More JD Vance and GOP BULLSHIT. It doesn’t matter if you are “able bodied”. You don’t get employer based health insurance if you are poor.
Employer plans are the most important source of health insurance for US workers (~71% of all workers).
But employer coverage is highly unequal: 88% of higher earners, but only 57% of lower earners.
Medicaid helps to bridge about half of that gap.

Just as absurd that Afrikaner “genocide” was occurring.
“It’s just absurd and divorced from reality to claim that Afghan refugees can safely return to Afghanistan,” says Eleanor Acer, senior director for global humanitarian protection for the nonprofit Human Rights First.
Noem's claim that Afghan refugees can safely return to their homeland is 'just absurd,' advocates say
Lawmakers, including some Republicans, said the administration was jeopardizing the lives of those who had stood by the United States.

Local and state officials are vying to host parts of a massive artificial intelligence project called Stargate, backed by OpenAI, even as some communities turn against data center development.

The DoD has to pay for the F-18s that fell off the aircraft carrier. This is beyond disgusting.
The government promised his team a $6.7 million grant to help save babies.
But it has pulled it back amid a mix of new executive orders limiting what government money can support and the sweeping grant cancellations ordered by DOGE.

And we have spent $340 billion more YTD than in 2024. WTF?

This is not the US using the “Einstein Visa” to bring proprietary talent to America. These are farmers that are still mad about the fall of Apartheid.
