Today marks 30 days since Trump promised Iranians that "help is on its way."
There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
French President Emmanuel Macron has called on Europeans to dramatically increase their yearly defense spending to over 3 percent of GDP after attending an emergency summit on Ukraine in London.
Every line of the above post is longterm Russian manipulated narrative meant to weaken the United States
In fact:
— US equipment abandoned to the Taliban is being sold for $$$
— Ukraine needs all its weapons
— Russia has long supported Hamas, and, as Hamas openly explained just after Oct 7, gave Hamas material support of weapons (and likely intelligence) during the critical 2 yr planning window
It’s all just one gigantic grift for the benefit of President Musk open.substack.com/pub/elonmusk...
RFK wrote an op-ed for Fox News that ostensibly promotes MMR vaccination to address measles outbreaks.
But there are still crumbs for the anti-vax & MAGA audience. I wonder how his messaging will evolve and if these hints will get less subtle in future outbreaks.

The agency was scheduled to make a final decision on whether to start paying Verizon for the contract next month, said one of the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Instead, Musk’s team determined the job should go to Starlink, the person said. But the process for unwinding a contract and awarding it to another company is lengthy and has not been followed in this case so far, the person said. Several senior FAA officials have refused to sign paperwork authorizing the switch, according to the person, who has been briefed on the internal deliberations and resulting fallout, so Musk’s team is now seeking help from the acting administrator of the agency, Trump appointee Chris Rocheleau, and Duffy.
This sort of comic book corruption is quite literally illegal in every single country in the world that has written laws. I don't even know what else you say about this, it's amazing
NEW on CNN: Dan Bongino, incoming FBI deputy director repeatedly has spread the conspiracy theory that pipe bombs planted on January 6 were an FBI “inside job” to “frame MAGA people.”
He now be the number two at the bureau.

There is nothing “realistic” about the torch that is being put to US foreign policy. It takes a real partisan hive mind not to see this.
the idea that realists would look at the present international order and not see a spectacular apparatus for leveraging American national interest is stupid -- they're the ones who fucking built the system to leverage American national interest in the first place
unilateralism is an idiot doctrine
Trump is obviously an idiot not an ideologue, but the argument here pulls off a trick that is crucial to the American unilateralist tradition
it acts like America's treaty alliances and reserve currency status are gifts the US gives the world rather than the actual basis of American power
Great news for money launderers!
I know it's pointless to say this, but the Beneficial Ownership reporting is really simple to do. The only way it's an "absolute disaster" or "economic menace" is if you are fully aware that writing down your owners will produce criminal liability.
“Escalation” is when you dare to contradict Trump’s assertion that Ukraine is to blame for being invaded.
Given an easy opportunity to criticize Putin, Gabbard immediately pivots to bashing Zelenskyy
There it is: Trump announces the US will not be enforcing its new shell company registry, which is the single-best tool to counter kleptocracy.
ROTFL.
Did Putin write this?
This is ominous. Commerce Secretary suggests new GDP calculations might deliberately exclude government spending to obscure impact of DOGE cuts.

We need language for a simple, easy to understand Constitutional amendment to overturn the USSC immunity decision. We need good language first, then start a campaign for it. Voters from all sides have an interest in not having a president (possibly from the other party) who is above the law.
This is straight up Third World country shit. Not hyperbole. I’ve lived in some Third World countries and this kind of stunt is de rigueur. Oh well 🤷♂️🤦♂️
BREAKING: A judge in Baltimore has blocked the Trump administration from conditioning federal aid to doctors/health care facilities on withholding health care services for transgender youth.
Order was given from the bench with written ruling to come later.
Because you are handing him what he wants?
Trump gave the wrong answer to a simple question.
Should an American ally that was invaded by Russia have an equal say in the peace process? Our allies should always come first.
Trump’s answer is a betrayal of Ukraine.
10. Governor Josh Shapiro and members of Pennsylvania’s agencies have been working with federal partners and legislators to try to fully restore access to these funds. Despite that work, and despite two temporary restraining orders requiring federal agencies to restore access to suspended funds, federal agencies continue to deny Pennsylvania agencies funding that they are entitled to receive. 11. So, Governor Shapiro and several Pennsylvania executive agencies now seek relief from the federal agencies’ flagrantly lawless actions.
Here's Gov. Shapiro's lawsuit on behalf of Pennsylvania against the administration's suspension of over $2.5 billion in federal funding for state agencies.
The c/as are violations of the APA and the spending clause (?). There's also a reference to the take care clause.
