Things most Americans agree on:
Groceries cost too much.
Tariffs suck and make no sense.
Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.
The debt is a mess.
The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.
Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.
Americans are exhausted.
AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.
Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.
Canadians are super fucking cool.
Mexicans are chill.
Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.
Good neighbors are a blessing.
Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.
We all question, are we alone in the universe?
We all fuck up along the way.
Epstein didn’t hang himself.
The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.
The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!
Things we’re told to fight about:
Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.
That’s the joke.
This Nicolas Cage interview is amazing. Nic was asked about that crazy voice he does in Gunslingers and his response is not something I could have ever guessed.
We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance. This is the risk of dehumanization: building a future that excludes God and reduces the other to a means.
“The AI is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you…”
Thomas Massie: “If the legislative branch always votes with the President, then we do have a king.
If the legislative branch always votes whichever way the wind is blowing, then we have mob rule.
But if the legislative branch, and the representatives and the senators that serve with it, always follow the constitution,
WE HAVE A REPUBLIC!”
🚨 JUST IN — Thomas Massie concedes the race:
“I would've come out sooner, but I had to call my opponent and concede.”
“And it took a while to find Ed Gallrein in Tel Aviv.”
That line is going to detonate across Washington.
Massie just turned his concession speech into a missile aimed directly at the flood of outside money and foreign policy influence that consumed this race.
The most expensive House primary in U.S. history ends with one final message:
This wasn’t just Kentucky voting.
This was the political establishment making an example out of someone who refused to fall in line.
Sebastian Stan says what's happening in America under Donald Trump is "not a laughing matter."
"I think we’re in a really, really bad place. I really do. And to be honest with you, when you’re looking at what’s happening, right now -- if we’re talking about the consolidation of the media, censorship, threats, the supposed lawsuits that seemingly never end but don’t actually go anywhere. You know, the writing was on the wall. We encountered all that with the movie ['The Apprentice'] to the point that we were, three days before the festival, unsure if the movie was going to play the festival. So maybe people are paying attention more to that film, I think it will stand the test of time for that. But we went through all of it right before Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and so on. So, I wish it wasn’t like that."

If he can tax the second homes of millionaires, that are worth $5M or more, that means it’s only a matter of time before he goes after the second homes of average, hard working, everyday Americans that are barely making it.
Diabolical.
