It really is amazing: the govt is openly considering using Korean shipyards to build NAVAL DESTROYERS, but it's supposedly a NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT if the Jones Act were reformed so that US companies could buy/use Korean container ships for US-based trade.

That's not what the paper says. It estimates 30% *of the increase* was due to illegal immigration, not a 30% increase. The total increase in housing was 22% -- but that's because the supply is fixed, which we can fix with better policy

Paper also says no effect on employment

The U.S. Iran War- What Was It Good For? https://t.co/hGTxj8V6b2

Imagine if Biden or Obama had bragged about shaking down a private company for 10% public ownership.

Where are the supposed stalwarts of free markets like @club4growth or @Heritage or @freedomcaucus ? 🦗🦗🦗

To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.

A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.

When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.

You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.

In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.

With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

This whole list is absolute BONKERS. But these segments in particular are just next level:

"5) Require sterilization of all foreign visitors prior to entry.

6) Dissolution of the Union. A nation which can’t even restrict who gets to be a citizen isn’t a nation."

It is absolutely bizarre that these people believe that the continued application of a rule that has existed for generation after generation -- as we've grown to the most powerful and prosperous free nation in world history -- is somehow the root of our national demise and so clearly wrong that we need to end the union.

Just wild.

THIS JUST IN: Pete Hegseth has decided to take away the rank from all military Chaplins- because they're not ‘warfighters’. Since WW One, US Chaplins have won 5 Medals of Honor, 26 Distinguished Service Crosses, 1 Navy Cross, 45 Silver Stars and 719 Bronze Stars for valor.

In July 1985, over a billion people watched Live Aid.

Months earlier, Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie had written "We Are the World." All of it was a response to a famine in Ethiopia.

Almost nobody remembers who actually caused the famine. 🧵

This is an astonishing document. Not a single war aim has been achieved, but Iran receives enormous financial incentives, and even Hezbollah gets some benefits. What an absolute disaster. https://t.co/uj3990eh6q

New York pols want to talk about data centers because they don't want to talk about NY's high electricity rates.

One of my favorite unexpected things about my time at @opinion is their excellent chart/caption game. Always good for a chuckle.

D-Day commemoration, Omaha Beach, June 6 2024

Zelensky arrived, the crowd applauded. And then this happened:

🇺🇸 veteran: You’re a saviour of the people

Zelensky: No, no, you saved Europe

🇺🇸 veteran: My hero

Zelensky: No, you are our hero

This is Classic Warren.

Her "267%" increase is based on wholesale prices, not retail costs, and uses April 2020 (when wholesale prices crashed) as a baseline. This is like using the stock markets' March 2020 low to measure how much wealthier people are today.

Pete Hegseth in Normandy today:

“Sadly, today different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. In Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive.

When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late?”
