MUST WATCH: in Paris, JD Vance just delivered one of the most morally clear, pro-American, and courageous speeches you will see all about America’s global leadership on AI. 15 minutes of pure FIRE 🔥
Reducing the federal deficit from $2T to $1T in FY2026 requires cutting an average of ~$4B/day in projected 2026 spending from now to Sept 30.
That would still result in a ~$1T deficit, but economic growth should be able to match that number, which would mean no inflation in 2026.
Super big deal.
The beautiful sound of the Notre Dame ‘Worker’s Choir’ rehearsing. More than 80 engineers, architects, carpenters, crane operators, construction workers… who all worked on the Cathedral’s restoration have formed a choir that will perform inside Notre Dame next week.

What normal people don't know about "greedy" developers:
Most of them sign personal recourse construction loans.
That means all their assets (homes, kids' college funds, retirement) are at risk every time they build housing.
Would *you* be willing to take that risk?
Great insights—straightforward and apolitical. Conversation on gov't spending highlights need for paradigm shift to get the country back on track. If you’re gearing up for holiday debates with family/friends, this episode is packed with solid points to explain the value of @DOGE.
Free people make free choices. Free choices mean you get unequal outcomes.
You can have freedom, or you can have equal outcomes. You can’t have both.
