Sean Duffy: "Pete Buttigieg was running for president as opposed to doing his job and making sure that we got our air traffic control system modernized."

(Pete Buttigieg ran for president in 2020. He became transportation secretary in 2021.)

I decided to take the GOP's "Gamer Dudebros are the new Welfare Queens" mantra at face value.

If this was true, unemployment should have skyrocketed after Medicaid expansion went into effect, right?

Our whole lives
the gun owners claimed
they needed arms to
prevent a police state,
yet here we are,
with many of the same
characters taking over
cities, brushing aside
elected governments,
& goose-stepping with
great enthusiasm.
How predictable
was that?

NEW: Oregon liberals, opposed to nuclear power in the 1970s, created a complex process for getting new energy projects approved.

Itโ€™s now being used to stall developments in wind and solar โ€” with a 76-year-old activist leading the charge.

Will be hard to explain in the future that the US government went antivax, causing a lot of avoidable suffering and death, not in response to any negative incident with vaccines, but to the biggest, fastest, most successful, most impressive vaccine rollout in history.

I hope your community is never occupied like LA or DC. But if it is, youโ€™ll quickly find that people donโ€™t take kindly to having their city under federal control. And folks are just getting started.

At some point we're going to have to deal with the danger and damage caused by the trope that child abusers are easily identifiable due to typically presenting as brightly coloured, flamboyant entertainers, and that children are inherently safer with mundane, anonymous authority figures.

China Came Ready for This Trade Fight, and the US Has a Lot to Learn US dynamism gave it an edge in a free-trade world, but China has spent decades planning for the new reality.

The world is underestimating China and overestimating US.

This guy got a job at Yale, and that seems like a much bigger indictment of the academy than the existence of humanities disciplines.

I must continue to insist that this is not a strong regime. It does not have the kind of pan-societal support needed to enforce Gleichshaltung. It has significant elite buy-in and a small popular coalition, but it is brittle and feeble and will collapse if pressed hard enough.

NYC is a major economic engine. We are a leading indicator for the natโ€™l economy.

Data just out shows job growth here in 1st half of 2025 has come to a screeching halt.

Tariffs, decline of intโ€™l visitors, and economic uncertainty are hitting us hard. This should be a warning for the country.

Press needs to stop repeating govt euphemism of โ€œclearing homeless camps.โ€ Iโ€™ve witnessed it in other cities: massive destruction of personal property. Not just bedrolls & tents; family photos, Bibles, meds. Times Iโ€™ve seen it people werenโ€™t even given option to move their things.

By the way, they're charging sandwich guy with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

If elected, my first act as POTUS will be to pardon sandwich guy. (My second act will be to strip all the gold gew-gaws out of the oval office.)
