A cabinet of dunces In the Trump regime, incompetence is a job requirement.

@davidrlurie.bsky.social tells me this counts as optimism in our era: "The next president will be tasked with a massive rebuilding project, much as nations-including this one-have had to reconstruct themselves, sometimes for the better," after major wars. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-cabi...

Tesla Starts Accepting Cybertruck Trade-Ins – According to Tesla, a Cybertruck Loses $35,000 Over 6,000 Miles ($5.6 Per Mile) Tesla has reversed its policy barring Cybertruck trade-ins. A Cybertruck owner says Tesla offered him $65,400 for his $100,00 truck with 6,200 miles. This means, according to Tesla, a Cybertruck loses...

Tesla now accepts Cybertruck trade-ins, and the official resale loss is $35k over just 6,000 miles.

I repeat: according to Tesla itself a Cybertruck loses $5.60 cents per mile, not counting the cost of electricity, tires, etc.

Unprecedented levels of flop!

Newsom: I’ll give you a specific example: just this morning, in anticipation of meeting with Chinese counterparts in Geneva, he decided to negotiate against himselfβ€”the great negotiatorβ€”from 145% tariffs imposed on China, now he says, β€œWell, maybe it should be 80%.”

The U.S. government has spent $3.57 trillion in fiscal year 2025 to (supposedly) "ensure the well-being of the people of the United States."

Compared to the federal spending of $3.25 trillion for the same period last year (Oct 2023 - Mar 2024) our federal spending has increased by $315 billion.
