"How do markets work? If we restrain supply but not demand, what will that mean for price?"
"Hey boss, how about we encourage people to buy EVs? That'll reduce demand and could bring down cost."

Oh, a "pledge." That sounds like China's "promise" to Trump to buy more soy beans from the US (never happened).
Trump: "Look! I got a pledge from these tech bros. Your electricity bills will fall within two weeks."
What about all the water they use?
To Tom Cotton:
"Imminent, you say? I do not that that word means what you think it means."

"Affair?"
No, Rep. Gonzales took advantage of an employee over whom he had a great deal of power, despite her protestations.
He must resign.

One doesn't have "affairs" with subordinates. One takes advantage of a power differential to get laid. In my line of work, that's a firing offense.
"Sure, we didn't start out to create something that will help kill people, but it turns out there's a lot of money in killing people. Is that my fault?"

It's always "two weeks" for Trump:
--delivery of his health care plan
--release of the Epstein files
--settle his tariff policy
--announce his tax plan
--get an agreement with Russia and Ukraine
But this claim is perhaps crazier than all of the others.
It's not as though any of the other Trump concentration camps are run any better.

Senate Republicans + John Fetterman - Rand Paul = Party of War
Let's all be clear on this and keep it in mind as we prepare for the midterms.
Republicans love wars and spending your tax dollars on them.

A development such as this has been a goal for HIV researchers for decades. It is important because people who are faced with difficult treatment regimens are less likely to be compliant.

Cool.
Start a war, then put our service members in harm's way so they can protect the shipping lanes for the Middle East emirates and their oil, and US taxpayers foot the bill.
To be clear: US oil and gas producers are going to reap huge profits. Trump promised them that if they supported him in 2024 he'd repay them generously.
Promise kept.
