Commentary: The silence of CEOs speaks volumes about corporate leadership today Where are the world's bosses when we need them? In the corner shuffling their shoes, says the Financial Times' Stuart Kirk.

If a Democratic president unilaterally imposed a tax hike the size of Trump’s tariffs without consulting Congress, the Palm would be catering street riots. Investment bankers would be waving Brooks Brothers-branded pitchforks.

These DeepSeek results mostly just reflect the diminishing gap between open and closed models, such that any company with billions can start with llama as a baseline, make some tweaks, and appear like the next OpenAI. Going forward, data and scale won't be the decisive advantage.

Many of the greatest papers, now canonical works, have a story of resistance, tension, and, finally, a crucial advocate. It's shockingly common. Why is there a bias against excellence? And what happens to those papers, those people, when no one has the courage to advocate?

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Put Adam McKay on it. He managed to make the driest parts of β€œThe Big Short” pop, and the credits for β€œThe Other Guys” have one of the clearest breakdowns of the financial meltdown

A psychotic billionaire bought a social media platform and turned it into a cesspool of white supremacists but sure, the people going elsewhere to post are the problem.

In my senior year of high school, Ray Bradbury came to speak as a fundraiser for our library. A buddy & I convinced the librarian to let us act as "security." We put on suits & fake earpieces. And we acted like Secret Service agents for the evening. Ray acted like this happened to him all the time.

Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification

Numerous Trump voters believe Democrats are responsible for higher prices.

Higher prices are not Biden’s fault.

Higher prices are not Trump’s fault.

Higher prices were caused by the monetary policy response to Covid which resulted in the US’s pandemic recovery being the strongest in the world.

I know nothing means anything anymore, but you really shouldn't get to decide bypass background checks and then complain that you were blindsided by information that would come out in background checks.

"We tried to warn. And yet the press β€œfact checked” anyone who dared to say Trump was going to implement Project 2025β€”because he said he wouldn’t.

Insane"

Press consistently treated Trump's statements as if they were good faith announcements of his true intentions despite his well-documented, decades-long history as a compulsive liar.

It’s incredibly dangerous to have an AG who can be blackmailed
