This video is so disturbing.
Is this how we treat our veterans for using the First Amendment right they fought for to speak out? And the fact that we have a bunch of politicians who don't even react to it is frightening.

Elon Musk: "Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez is a tyrant and traitor to the people of Spain."

After Sanchez said: β€œWe must speak clearly about platforms such as X and figures like Elon Musk. Freedom of expression is not the right of a magnate to buy the public debate and manipulate it through algorithms."

Sometimes economics conversations are best when you give 'em time to breathe (and add a few laughs). And that's why I loved my recent chat with @timfullerton.bsky.social and my new mates at the @findoutpodcast.bsky.social:

I just called the police. Somebody broke into my car, didn’t steal anything, and left four tickets for the Melania movie. That is a hate crime.

Somewhere in this story is a 28th Amendment. I just can’t piece together the words yet.

I don’t know maybe it’s me, maybe I’m old-fashioned, but doesn’t it seem like a bad idea for the president, a bunch of his cabinet members, the guy he let decimate our federal workforce and his future Fed Chair, to be implicated in the criminal files of a notorious child sex trafficker?

Nuclear defense is why we built a base on Greenland in 1951. We had this idea 75 years ago. The base has been there since then. You don’t have to invade a country where you already have everything. Invasion just destroys what you have and much else besides.

BREAKING: America steps up BIG TIME to help TJ Sabula, the Ford union worker who was suspended from work for calling Trump a
"pedophile protector" to his face, by donating over $100,000 to his GoFundMe!
TJ Sabula made headlines for his brave calling out of the president for continually hiding the damning evidence in the Epstein files - and now the nation is helping him get back on his feet after getting suspended for it by donating to his GoFundMe. The Dropkick Murphys rock band were major donors to the cause.
"T is a father of two young children, husband, and is a proud United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 600 line worker. Funds donated will support TJ and his family to cover expenses during this time of uncertainty," the GoFundMe campaign states.

It's so infuriating watching right-wingers raise hundreds of thousands of dollars every time someone gets fired for saying the n-word at work - it's about time we help a REAL patriot who was brave enough to take a stand for what's right, no matter the consequences to his personal life.
We need more TJ Sabulas.

It follows that Trump leaked the most market-moving economic numbers that exist.

I have no idea how illegal this is, or if the law even matters any more.

But I do know this: It's unprecedented. No White House has ever before leaked such important market-moving numbers. No serious country does this
