@RepLuna And in 1968, Richard Nixon’s “southern strategy” reversed that historic tradition and mopped up Republican support by appealing to George Wallace supporters in the Democratic Party

Trump ran against the Biden record. Then he:
– Raised gas prices
– Launched foreign wars
– Dangled $300B for Iran
– Backdoor-forgave student loans
– Raised taxes (tariffs)
– Blew up the deficit
– Worsened inflation
– Weaponized DOJ against enemies
– Pardoned swampy lawmakers
– Let his family cash in
– Nationalized businesses
– Blamed corporate greed for prices
– Executive overreached
– Said an armed protester had it coming.

I hope all the MAGAs who despised Bidenism are enjoying the sequel. The remaining economic, foreign policy, and small-government conservatives who did not abandon their policy beliefs (what they call “RINOs”) are just sitting back saying “I told you so.” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Right on target! This may be the only tweet emanating from the Trump admin that I have ever endorsed wholeheartedly!

Signs you might be trying to get your frontier AI lab nationalized:

You compare it to nukes… threaten half of white-collar jobs… warn recursive self-improvement could end humanity… then race ahead anyway.

In other words, you want the government to save us from… you.

@johnhawkinsrwn @TheShadowIntelX All you have to know about Israel to say what he said is that 70,000 Palestinians have been killed in response to 1200 Israelis killed by Hamas, more than 1200 Palestinians in the West Bank (who did not attack Israel) have been killed by Israeli settlers since 2023.

@ProfDanielLyons Is it true @deanwball endorsed this nonsense?

[Daniel Lyons @ProfDanielLyons]

This is a horrid idea. Full stop.

@roddreher I’ve noticed. Mao and Stalin not generally considered embodiments of evil equivalent to Hitler. Why not?

Export controls since 2010: ~$158B market cap loss for US firms, ~$18B for Chinese targets (per Fed economists).
China's domestic chip equipment share went from 25% → 35% in one year.
Cheng & Mueller call it what it is: unilateral disarmament dressed up as containment. We kneecap American companies while China builds around them.

@SarahTheHaider Nope.

@Glenn_Diesen @victorliew Haven’t we, under Trump, stopped pretending that our hegemony is “liberal”?

@bkuerbis analyzes Project Glasswing and the changing institutional economics of bugs.
If the bug discovery premium is gone, what about patch verification?

okay I guess I have to talk about Péter Magyar here.
Let me just start with saying, in a very unladylike way, that you guys seem to have zero clue what happened in Hungary in the last two years, you completely miss the point, and you're a disappointing bunch.
Let's go.

@KnightsTempOrg @victorliew Why did you support this jerk in the first place? This is what he does

[Milton Mueller @miltonmueller]

We have a destructive and costly war on, and Democrats like Garcia are trying to revive the Epstein files issue. Trumps war is choking the economy, eating trillions, killing and inviting retaliation and Congress does nothing about it

[Milton Mueller @miltonmueller]

Well, Trump always said he was against free trade. I guess he’s not in favor of free trade in oil either.

[Milton Mueller @miltonmueller]

@AliFeizi @victorliew Come on. Spare us this crap. Any fool with a camera and a few thousand dollars can throw together some displays of ethnic dancing. It doesn’t prove that all the Uighurs are happy.

@danielsgoldman @ylecun @elonmusk When did musk start supporting democracy?

[Milton Mueller @miltonmueller]

I wonder how the MAGAts areor coping mentally with the large number of anti-Trump protests yesterday.
