Freshwater economics will keep you clean.

Who actually wants to spend their entire working life doing the same job in a factory?

Also, I suspect that Lutnick hasn't worked a single day in a factory his entire life, and he never will.

[Wilfred Reilly @wil_da_beast630]

All this racist stuff is a reaction to national leadership abandoning the mainstream civic nationalism that ~90% of people actually want.

Bring that back, almost all of it ends.

[Sonny Bunch @SonnyBunch]

A targeted tariff ending this sort of stuff would be totally fine. The problem is the moron in charge of our government doesn’t want to do targeted, constructive things, he wants to destroy the economy because he doesn’t understand what trade deficits are.

Two things that people online get consistently wrong now:

1) Criticism of bad speech is not censorship. It's also speech.

2) Supporting a legal right to say hateful stuff does not require defending the content of the bad speech or associating with the person who says it.

Yet another excellent take by Noam.

I don't know if Fetterman is ok or not, and these days I typically don't let the internet lay out only two opinions to choose from. But the people who are concern trolling about his health now 100% do not give a shit about his welfare, only his vote.

@MdBreathe @DoctorJanette It doesn't sound like such a bad place...

[Republicans for Ukraine @GOP4Ukraine]

Sen. Tom Cotton: “What we need from the president is to get out of this mindset of trying to end the war. Instead, we need to help Ukraine win the war. And they're only gonna win if we continue to supply them with the weapons that they're asking for.” (2022)

I regret to inform you that the MAGA drag queen believes that having black men in sports is a conspiracy to emasculate white men. I know this sounds like a bad game of Mad Libs, but I’m just reporting the news.

[Bankable Insight @BankableInsight]

Have you considered the possibility that he's just stark raving mad?

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

At this point, it’s easier to argue that Trump is actively handing the government to the Democrats than that he’s trying to preserve it for the Republicans. The only alternative is more disturbing: that his goal is to establish a monarchy, theocracy, or dictatorship — one where Republicans rule indefinitely, not by consent, but by force, with no mechanism left to oppose them.

If only there was a word to describe the Vatican boss.

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

“Vatican boss”?

[Mike Coté @ratlpolicy]

Protect all speech *from the government*.

It doesn't stop there from being consequences for said speech. People don't get a free pass to say whatever they want without social sanction. Because that's the First Amendment right of association for everyone else.

The "greatest military commander" of all time is a pathetic coward.

Question: “You support terrorism?”

Hasan Piker’s response: “I don’t support the state of Israel and I don’t support the state of the United States of America.”

This is the face of the progressive movement in the U.S.—no wonder they keep losing.

National socialism is still socialism.

[reason @reason]

President Trump's comment about how "dolls" will "cost a couple of bucks more" is the latest in a long trend of nationalist conservatives disparaging affordable stuff.

Let there be even the slightest wisp of a shred of a hint that Fetterman could be replaced by a Republican, & all talk of him resigning or facing a primary will vanish & be completely memory-holed.
