GDP up 4.3%, murders down 20%, suicides and opiate deaths down too, life expectancy recovered and rising again, cancer survival up and disability down, bee populations coming back... It's been an incredible year. Merry Christmas everyone!

“Merry New Year!!”

🚨Mission Update: Rollout for Artemis II is less than two weeks away. This milestone begins final, system-wide testing as NASA prepares to send astronauts around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years, with a launch window opening as soon as February 6.

The online right used to rage against the government’s casually watchlisting Americans as “domestic terrorists.” Now Beltway MAGA carries the deep state’s bags.

You’d have to be braindead to believe WhatsApp is secure in 2026. When we analyzed how WhatsApp implemented its “encryption”, we found multiple attack vectors.

Watttttt They’re talking about us talking about them here on X. Inception.

The federal govt will spend $200 million of your taxes to turn the Kennedy Center into a tacky shrine to Trump (have you seen the White House lately?), and then - after Trump leaves power - millions more to remove all that embarrassing tackiness. Your tax dollars at work.

How did California spend $15 billion over 16 years building a train to nowhere? Oh wait…There is no train! They haven’t laid a single track. Reason’s Bess Byers shares more about California’s $135 billion mass transit boondoggle.

"Imagine if we had to go through the process of getting a judicial warrant." What a colossal and ignorant asshat Speaker Mike Johnson is, to say such a stupid thing during the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.

Now THAT’S art

There is nothing about political parties in the Constitution (despite people saying we live in a "two-party system"). In fact, several prominent founders warned of the dangers of "factions". If we got rid of the big two parties today it's hard to see how we'd be any worse off.

Have been saying for 15+ years now, to Republican scoffers, committed Democrats and even skeptical libertarians, that you will be glad you have a Rand Paul in the U.S. Senate. These past two weeks are a prime example why.

Sub-six-minute mile pace uphill on skis: #WinterOlympics SPEED. 🔥

Can Republicans find one person who speaks Spanish and can translate for them the lyrics Bad Bunny actually sang? Seems to be a minimum level of research before going on television to condemn the lyrics.

People who call me an “oligarch” clearly don’t know what the term means. If I were close to any government (instead of opposing their constant attacks on freedom), I’d be 10x more successful by now. Everything I’ve achieved was despite governments, not thanks to them.

Blue cities are out of control, promising more, spending more, delivering less and pushing off fiscal problems to some future day. Democrats in city halls should stop governing as if the goal is to announce new entitlements, and instead make government work. My take:

The State of California has been run top to bottom by one party since 2011. Here are their results: 1) highest state income tax 2) highest rate of poverty 3) highest rate of unemployment 4) highest rate of homelessness 5) highest energy costs Hard to explain this away.

“We are not at war” Orwellian levels of double speak.

It is recycled footage from January 6, 2020, showing the massive funeral procession for Qasem Soleimani in Tehran's Enghelab (Revolution) Square, with crowds waving Iranian flags around the central fountain area.
