Calling states "red" and "blue" based on presidential results not only ignores the partisanship of other statewide votes but also ignores how lousy those descriptors are at the presidential level.

Trump Reportedly Mulling Plan to Declare ‘National Emergency’ Paving Way for Major Power Grab The Washington Post reported that activists are working with the White House on an executive order to declare a "national emergency" over America's elections.

You know who else declared "a national emergency"? www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

In nine years, the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding - 250 years since the day we declared our independence. It will be one of the great milestones in the history of the world.
But what will America look like as we reach our 250th
year? What kind of country will we leave for our children?

Thinking about how during Trump's first address to Congress, he wondered aloud what the country would look like in 2026. trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-st...

All I have to say to our National Socialists is this: No, I don't advocate killing them, because we still have democracy and rule of law in this country, which gives us a way to remove them from power without that. So they better hope that democracy and rule of law continues.

The most recent Epstein cancellation was a few hours ago of the influential medical doctor Peter Attia

While many might view the behavior and comments of those individuals as ugly, nothing has yet emerged to suggest they did anything sufficiently wrong or criminal to merit losing their jobs. There is no clear evidence to conclude that any of them were complicit in Epstein’s crimes.

The virus killed my uncle in just four days during the initial wave. He died alone in the ICU on a ventilator because nobody was allowed in the room. These trolls want to make a “comedy” out of it.

The odds of Trump's $2,000 tariff dividend checks are 'now effectively zero,' expert says President Trump previously suggested issuing "tariff dividend" checks. After the Supreme Court struck down his tariffs policy, that's unlikely, experts say.

So nothing changed www.cnbc.com/2026/02/23/t...

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.
