What does it mean to have a somalian man pledging loyalty to his home country if he gets in elected office in America?

This is a problem that will either be addressed, or it will address us.

Deport EVERY LAST somali from America.

Market is risk-off.

Jesus christ. Everyone who slandered Robert Hur should be fucking ashamed.

This was legitimate 25th Amendment territory. Everyone who helped cover this up should be publicly shamed and no where near power.

I’m constantly surprised by the number of people who have zero ability to think about trade offs when discussing politics.

Politics, like life, is all about the incremental progress that lies in compromise. Progress then compounds.

So many people are stuck in a rut of “all or none”. It’s a self made prison.

Such a good point. A pharma company could price a life saving drug at $1 and the big PBMs would not add it to their formularies because they didn’t get paid to put it there

We’re Watching The Art of the Deal Play Out in Real Time

Trump pitched annexing Canada. Carney campaigned against him.

But when the cameras roll inside the Oval Office… something changed.

Trump played the long game.

And Carney? He might have unknowingly walked straight into Trump’s trap.

Let’s roll the clips and break it all down.

Their strategy is to provoke you with terrorist attack after terrorist attack

And then when you finally respond, they portray you as the villain

I stand with India 🇮🇳

It's pretty crazy that all we needed to do to disrupt Hamas is shut down USAID

I asked @SenWarren why she’s criticizing President Trump for expressing his views on what Powell should do on rates when she, in fact, has done so herself multiple times….

I had a child “diagnosed” with ADHD several years ago. The immediate reaction of the people involved was to prescribe drugs.

We refused.

Absolutely under no circumstances were we going to let our pre-pubescent child take amphetamines which is what these ADHD drugs are.

More generally, I found the diagnosis process shoddy, the availability of resources for my child (tutors, executive function help etc) to be scattered and expensive and the desire of the school to “solve” the problem lazy and reductive (sit alone, go take tests in a separate place, have more time on assignments and feel isolated from peers).

It can’t be the case that so many of our kids have ADHD and are then put through this.

I find it more plausible that economic incentives drove an entire industry to spring up around an FDA approved drug that, looking back, mostly doesn’t work. People make money diagnosing it, tutoring around it, coaching around it, etc etc

This has done decades of damage to kids.

Here is a summary from Grok of a great article in the NYT.

Wouldn’t it be crazy if we found out this erosion of intelligence in the West was by design.

An op planned by our adversaries to slowly dilute our education system without us realizing it until it was too late. Then some AI shows up, owned by others to “save the day”. A plan like this would weaken us slowly and unwittingly, over decades, until it was too late.

Because as a directed op against the West, this has been extraordinarily successful.

If this is, instead, a self-own, we should be furious but need to put anger aside and course correct immediately.

Every US state needs a massive administrative DOGE.

These aren’t just fake jobs - they tend to spread ideological activism, and corrupt our children and our culture.

But is there a single red state with the courage to cut school administrators?

@GuntherEagleman what a picture of tw o greats together. So many people love Trump.

@BasedMikeLee All they do is diminish the memory of the Holocaust by comparing everything to hitler

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

Absurd.

[Joe Lonsdale @JTLonsdale]

Persia is an ancient and noble civilization, and its great people deserve to be free from the violent barbarians who have oppressed them for two generations.

As our own country casts off nonsense and is reset in a positive direction, I hope for the same for our Iranian friends.

[Brit Hume @brithume]

I agree.

It's official:

The federal government will no longer purchase or promote paper straws over plastic ones, and it will prefer contracting with entities that do not promote paper straws.

There’s a 150yo getting Social Security!

Maybe some checks and balances are ok after all.
