The oil market is not going to feel very good next week.
Tom Nichols: We're being governed by a bunch of juveniles who think war is some kind of fist-pumping video game. I can tell you taught hundreds of military officers over the years, they take this business a lot more seriously. This isn't just B-roll footage from a bad movie.
As the NVA and Viet Cong proved with Tet, you don't need to win any battles (you can rather get mostly wrecked) if you can inflict real psychological damage on the enemy and degrade the narrative of their political leadership.
“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”
Thurmond too I think but he's polling at less than 2%
"government can't deliver so you might as well not pay into it" is nothing more than a suicide note for left and liberal governance
The Van Hollen standard deduction proposal costs $1.6 trillion or 20x as much as No Tax on Tips.
The Booker standard deduction increase costs $5.5 trillion or about 70x as much as No Tax on Tips.
FICA raises 1.6T and its regressive, FIT raises 2.7T and its highly progressive, but at a certain point you have to address the FICA part in tax cuts, if you really believe. The SS limit is 100k, so if you're like, no federal taxes under 100k, well, there goes SS
Compare CA and TX tax burden. Low and medium income Californians are paying less than they would in TX.

Look at my progressives dawg, we are never getting a real welfare state.
I was on board with Katie Porter until this. California’s tax structure is already both underfunded and heavily dependent on high earners. To underfund AND imbalance it even further, while also eroding the social fabric that knits everyone together… this is not the way!!!
Behold the horrific consequences of Reaganism + vulgar MMT.
(Ironically the people most predisposed to complain about the Democratic Party online are also some of the most guilty of spreading this myth and the politicians they stan are some of its most vocal adherents lol)
IMO if you want to criticize ‘the Democratic Party’ as a whole for something, it’s fair to note that virtually all Dem electeds from left to right are guilty of suggesting you can do great social policy with just tax hikes on rich people alone, and this horseshit is a logical extension of that
Renee Good and Alex Pretti say hello.
Karl Marx did not spend ten years living in the British Library for the modern Left to negatively polarize itself against the concept of graphs.
Happy fat cat Friday
And the only thing preventing me from dating Dua Lipa is her not knowing who I am. We'd be madly in love if she met me 😂
We did it
Defense secretary openly states that a pro-Trump billionaire taking over a news network (following regulatory help from the administration) will result in coverage more favorable for the administration.
If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats
Weren't we promised that all the manufacturers will bring their production over to the States with the rollout of hard-hitting tariffs and one-sided trade policies? New jobs must be skyrocketing then?
He certainly can't blame Biden for this now.

Hey does anyone remember how we had like a decade of near zero interest rates? Thank god the USA spent that time investing in infrastructure! What a calamity if we had just squandered the last best chance of our lives
Seems to be a theme today...
Record melt before unprecedented March heat wave
Damn, that's really depressing!
I've always wondered how regenerative braking and one-pedal driving affects this. Surely there is less brake dust created than an ICE vehicle of the exact same weight
I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.
People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)
adorno would be a great poster
The Van Hollen-Beyer et al tax cut bill was released today so just re-upping our prior thread and adding a few tweets with numbers now that more details are available:
