BREAKING!!! We finally found something Department of Government Efficiency did, besides killing millions of kids: Making sure Elon Musk and his buddies couldn't be audited. nytimes.com/2026/01/08/bus…

"If you don't give me my imperialist vanity project, I'll impose a hideously unpopular new tax on working Americans and continue using the revenues from it to fund tax cuts for wealthy elites" is very MAGA, apparently

A lot has been said about the Greenland tariffs in the past couple of days. We've been looking at the broader picture: who actually pays the tariffs? We analyzed 25 million shipments worth nearly $4 trillion. The answer: Americans pay 96%. Foreign exporters absorb just 4%. 1/n

part of the problem with the united states right now is like 30% of the population genuinely believes that having to show vaccination records at a cheesecake factory to eat inside is literally the exact same as being killed by state police on the street for no reason

Border Patrol seized $40,000 from a Texas nurse that she was going to use to start a clinic in Nigeria. They never charged her with a crime. Because she hadn’t committed one. That the government “created a monster” with its civil forfeiture laws is an understatement.

L.A. Metro, the main transit operator for Los Angeles, just voted to oppose SB 79, a law that legalizes the construction of housing near transit stations. You can't make this stuff up. Legislators should remember this the next time they come to Sacramento begging for more money.

On perçoit assez bien à Minneapolis ce que pourrait donner la "présomption de légitime défense" ou la "présomption d'usage légitime de l'arme" que veulent les syndicats de police et le gouvernement pour les forces de l'ordre en France.

Pour le coup, tout le monde semble prendre soudain conscience de l'immense fragilité de l'Europe, à la merci du comportement erratique de Trump. La menace est extrêmement sérieuse et si on était dans un monde normal, le gouvernement FR devrait imposer à toute Organisation

It's literally not possible to reindustrialize America while also tariffing industrial inputs into oblivion. The economic illiteracy in DC is astounding.

90% of this country’s problems would be solved by: 1. Term limits for congress 2. Banning congressional stock trading 3. Campaign finance reform But none will ever happen because it’d have to be passed by the leeches that currently benefit from the problem.

‘Abolish ICE’ is polling at 80% among democrats so when Dem politicians refuse to support abolishment you wonder whose interests they’re representing because it’s certainly not their voters’.

Speculation: Tesla is stopping his model S and X in Fremont CA to squirt some laws and relocate the production to Texas.
