If you were Europe, why wouldn't you make China your primary trading partner?

Fake AI. He was safe. We will not be gaslighted.

I would check the Qataris sitting next to Trump.

Hypothesis: Rising youth depression may be linked to the offloading of core cognitive functions (memory, navigation, attention, social interaction) onto personal devices. With less external demand, the brain may redirect activity inward, manifesting as anxiety and depressive rumination.

Except for house prices, I can't think of a problem today where the cause isn't the phones.

It seems clear to me that Trump doesn't care about winning 51 percent in an election, but gathering enthusiastic support of 25 percent who will defend him to the death in a constitutional crisis.

The guy from the Cracker Barrel logo is probably just in an El Salvadorian prison because he signed his name to an op-ed saying, despite its name, people from all races are welcome at the Cracker Barrel.

Thank you! Thank you! We’ve got a wild one for you today. Two ex-friends who used to be inseparable are now at each other’s throats. What happened? Well, Laura says her former bestie Marjorie has been hiding a little secret. And folks, it involves Arby’s... in the pants.
Let’s meet Laura!

Tired: Jerome Powell renovating Fed offices is a major scandal.

The U.S. will enjoy a brief window where we can extract concessions as a new trade and security regime forms that excludes us. But that will come. Leadership isn't our divine right. With these tariffs, we are choosing retreat—and the vacuum we leave behind will not stay empty.

The American people agree or can accept most liberal political ideas.
They don't agree and won't accept liberals' reaction to the Sydney Sweeney ad.

We need to accept The War on Poverty is a perpetual war. Maybe ending needless human suffering is a worthy enough goal on its own.

Study May Undercut Idea That Cash Payments to Poor Families Help Child Development

I don't think we can fix the long-term effects of chronic poverty in the short term. It really is a cheap solution to say if we just give some cash today, problems associated with poverty would be solved in 25 years.

Many states still rely on outdated systems built on COBOL, making it extremely difficult to implement modern tools like AI to streamline eligibility & requalification processes. Even with improved technology, this level of reform will take time and political will. I agree with the idea though.

I don't support Trump's homeless executive order, but Democrats need a better alternative. The public should expect that they can go to a park or walk down a city street without encountering someone in severe distress. Without results, patience for humane solutions runs out.

Call me cynical, but if Mamdani announced a plan to open up city owned drycleaners with home delivery and fast turnarounds, he would be a hero to the upper class.

How many weeks away are we from MAGA influencers explaining that old men sleeping with 16 year olds isn't really that bad? It just means he's the new Thomas Jefferson.

Cover up? What cover up?

I’m an NPR listener. I value what they offer. But I don’t think people who don’t listen should subsidize my information consumption.
If we can’t wind down their federal funding in 2025—when media is everywhere—then we’re admitting we’ll never cut any government program past its expiration date.

I really like Colbert, when it comes up on my YouTube algorithm. And that's the problem.

Release the files.

Save the children. Release the list.

I just feel like we're at the point where a filibuster is cosplaying doing something.

My news alerts over the last 24 hours may as well have been, Welcome to dystopia.

Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries

Are you kidding me? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

What kind of man has regrets posting mean tweets about the President but not saying their child was dead to them on a podcast? Despicable human.

We are going to need this bumper sticker for all the MAGA’s with Teslas.

I know everyone who has ever worked for the President, except his children and the wife of the sexual predator CEO of a wrestling company, ends up disgraced and publicly embarrassed - but I thought Elon was really going to buck that trend.
