Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
Democrats introduced bills to end the TSA shutdown on:

This woman has done her homework and her hypothesis is fascinating. What happens may very well determine the midterm elections and whether democracy survives Trump's Nazification of America. 😳👇
We've spent the last 10 months analyzing EVERY single tariff development:
Here's the EXACT playbook for investors.
1. Trump puts out cryptic post on tariffs coming for a specific country or sector, markets drift lower
2. Trump announces large tariff rate (50%+) and markets crash to shake out weak positions
3. Dip buyers step in but the head fake rally leads to fresh lows where smart money begins buying
4. After the market closes on Friday, President Trump doubles down on new tariffs to apply pressure
5. On Saturday, the target of the new tariff typically responds or comments
6. On Sunday, before the futures open, Trump posts an announcement saying he is working on a solution
7. Futures open on sharply higher Sunday at 6 PM ET but begin losing momentum into the Monday open
8. After the Monday open, Treasury Secretary Bessent appears on live TV and reassures investors
9. Over the next 2-4 weeks, various members of the Trump Administration tease a trade deal
10. Trump announces a new trade deal and the stock market hits a record high
11. Repeat from step #1
Part of our strong YTD performance comes from following this EXACT playbook in times of trade tensions.
The US is currently on step #6 with China.
Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?
Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.
Be warned.
