I just published a new investigation into Donald Trump’s taxes.

A teaser: The president has stiffed a lot of people over the years. His next, and largest, victim will probably be the U.S. government.

Full story below.

How can you not know, Mr. President? You are our commander in chief. This is a national security issue at the highest level. And if you didn't know at the time when Starlink was throttled, how can you still not know?

That's either really bad staff work, or you are not answering the question honestly.

Toyota Motor North America CEO Ted Ogawa will step down Jan. 1 and ultimately return to Japan, handing the automaker’s top job in the key region covering the U.S., Canada and Mexico to COO Mark Templin, the automaker said.

Ogawa, 67, has been CEO of Toyota Motor North America since early 2020, just before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and successfully guided the automaker’s operations in the region through an unprecedented series of challenges. He was named an Automotive News All-Star in 2024.

Templin, 65, who has been with Toyota since 1990 in a variety of sales and executive roles, was named COO of Toyota Motor North America in January 2025. He previously held top positions at Toyota Financial Services and was the executive vice president of Lexus International — the first non-Japanese executive named to run the luxury brand’s global operations in Japan.

@FT Russia’s Rassvet (Low-Earth Orbit Internet) has roughly 31 production satellites in orbit as of late 2026.

Starlink (Low-Earth Orbit Internet) has a network consisting of over 11,000 active satellites in orbit, making up the majority of all active satellites in Earth's orbit

1/ I'll explain exactly how this happened because I'm the person at Forbes who calculates these numbers.

This is going to take some unraveling, but here's a spoiler: The president's answer here is nonsense.

Trump Is the Author of the Ruin by @Peggynoonannyc https://t.co/tFGzxhUQDD via @WSJopinion

[Bucky @BuckyNoseBest]

Peggy Noonan, the Reagan speechwriter who has spent decades as the Wall Street Journal’s keeper of the old Republican flame, has written the GOP’s obituary. Her verdict: Trump is the author of the ruin.

It wasn’t the war alone, she argues. It was the prices. The tariffs. Above all, the corruption, showy and shameless: crypto, pardons, federal contracts for his sons’ companies. Then came the decadence. Three days before the election, Trump threw a jungle-themed Halloween party with a caviar bar while Americans outside the gates added up their grocery receipts.

Ron DeSantis called Tuesday’s results “close to an extinction level event” for his party. Trump’s response: sign a ballroom beam, declare his office a national monument, and blame Fox’s polls.

Noonan has a line for that: “Please. It was you, Fredo.”
When a Reagan speechwriter is quoting The Godfather at you, the party is over.

Tariffs are taxes.

Tariffs are regressive taxes.

Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes.

Tariffs are distortionary, regressive taxes that raise prices for US businesses and consumers.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump is reportedly planning to restart war with Iran after the election.

Some of us have been briefed on the war plan. And while I cannot disclose any details, I can say this: the plan is insane. It will not achieve objectives and will set off a new cycle of escalation.
