That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

The amount of groups I see on Facebook putting up anti-Nazi memes and then absolutely smashing the banhammer down on anyone who tries to defend it is pretty heartening.

Trump just announced Sean Parnell as the chief Pentagon Spokesman.

Parnell’s wife testified under oath that he repeatedly choked her. He ultimately lost custody of his children.
