On the way back from Kyiv, journalists unexpectedly entered the leaders’ cabin. German advisor Merz hid a spoon used for cocaine, while French President Macron concealed a bag of it.
I support @POTUS on many fronts. But let's be clear: tariffs are taxes. And the power to tax lies with Congress-- not the executive branch. The Constitution laid out the process. It's time we followed it.
Frontier Airlines worker refuses to let a man check into his flight, taunts him as he tries rushing so he doesn't miss his flight.
Man: "I paid for a ticket."
Worker: "You didn't pay $25 for an agent assist fee. Hello? And you thought you was gonna get on your flight. And you thought you was gonna get on your flight. And you thought you was gonna get on your flight. And you thought you was gonna get on your flight. And you thought you was gonna get on your flight. And you thought you was gonna get on your flight. And you thought you was gonna get on your flight."
Infuriating.
Under new guidelines released by the National Institute of Health, any medical researchers will have all funds terminated if they support a boycott of Israel.
They can support a boycott of any other country, or even other US states -- just not Israel.

Commodities like oil, silver, and copper are down sharply today as investors are pricing in a global recession. But the recession will mainly be limited to the U.S. The rest of the world is about to boom, as they will be liberated from having to subsidize the U.S. economy.
The U.S. has a difficult road ahead. We need to start producing all the stuff we've been importing. That requires significant investment and painful short-term sacrifice. On the other hand, all the rest of the world has to do is consume more of what they already produce. Not only is that easy to do, but it's also fun.
The Fed gave us a clear ‘signal’ that wasn’t ‘noise’ today. The 4.4% unemployment rate call for year-end would take it 100 basis points above the cycle low. Back to 1948, that has never happened without an NBER-defined recession. By the time the jobless rate rises this much, the recession has already been in play, to everyone’s surprise each and every time, for five months on both a mean and median basis. The dot plots are still at two cuts for this year, but the historical record suggests that we are going to see a lot more because if past is prescient, the recession nobody believes will rear its ugly head will materialize as early as July. Buy bonds on (price) dips.

No. The pendulum always swings and if we set this precedent then steak is next when someone else is in charge. Get rid of their subsidies and it will remove itself. The free market is the best mandate.
Mr. Trump says he’s going ahead with the 25% tariffs against Canada and Mexico tomorrow. The recession that never came (because of the most fiscal stimulus the United States has ever seen over a five-year period in history outside of WWII) is now coming. A trade to bolster national security and pursue an alleged level playing field for a recession – the coming approval ratings on the President will tell the tale as to whether John and Jane Q Public see this is a good trade. I think not. You really need to have your head examined to be adding on risk to the portfolio right now.
Donald Trump, the first crypto President, just helped pull off the biggest crypto rug pull of all time. A Congressional investigation is now warranted to find out the following regarding this pump and dump scheme.
Who authored the two Sunday afternoon posts on the President's Truth Social account?
Who knew about the first post in advance, and when were they first informed of the wording of the post and the timing of its release?
How much money those with advance notice spent buying XRP, ADA, SOL, BTC, and ETH, and if they sold, the exact timing of those sales, and the proceeds received?
We also need all emails or text messages that involve any members of the President's staff, his or their family or friends, his campaign donors, or Truth Social employees, that relate to either of the two Sunday Truth Social posts.
Coca-Cola uses high-fructose corn syrup in the U.S. because the U.S. government has made cane sugar untenably expensive in America
Rather than forcing Coca-Cola to change its formula for Coke in the U.S., wouldn’t it be better to fix our ridiculous sugar policies?
Today, @elonmusk identified 60 Minutes as "a propaganda arm of the radical left." Compare how 60 Minutes deceptively edited their interview with me, creating the false impression that I was guilty of crimes and had something to hide, to their actual ambush interview.@BillAckman
