Ben Sasse is uniquely extraordinary…but if you watch that interview and wish we had more civically serious leaders like him, please understand that’s a choice. Voters can demand it.

- Domestic production increased to 54.4% as automakers announce multi-billion dollar U.S. investments
- Higher prices are reducing entry-level vehicle availability and pushing buyers toward the used car market

[Ian Copeland, PhD @IanCopeland5]

The internet gave everyone a microphone but took away the pause that used to come before speaking.

When decades of research from PhDs is treated as just another “opinion,” expertise collapses into nothingness. A society that can’t tell the difference between knowledge and confidence eventually makes decisions based on the loudest voice, not the smartest one.

That’s not a progress problem, it’s a survival problem.

New Fed research shows tariffs may be quietly costing the U.S. thousands of jobs every month — with slower hiring and a weaker labor market to show for it.

Taxes on trade are still taxes…and at the end of the day that impacts the economy. Businesses are trying to hold back on raising prices. But the tax has to be paid from somewhere.

Billions of dollars for stadiums for billionaires... but need volunteers to do a basic municipal service.

[Joe Weisenthal @TheStalwart]

An example of the de-industrializing effect of tariffs. Building a factory in the US is now more expensive, because the gear/inputs to run the factory are now more expensive.
