The White House publication showing the tariff schedule. BIOT is listed with a 10% tariff.

A photo from above of the US military base on Diego Garcia. A runway is the most visible landmark.

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.

He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.

The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.

TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Hundreds Gather at National Parks Across U.S. to Protest Job Cuts From Acadia in Maine to Joshua Tree in Southern California, protesters turned out to stand up against what they see as threats to public lands.

Hundreds of people gathered on Saturday at national parks from California to Maine to protest the Trump administration’s firing of at least 1,000 National Park Service employees last month.

Life is so short. We are all going to die.

Imagine choosing to inspire hate instead of sowing love. Imagine choosing profit over people. Imagine seeing the worst rather than hoping for the best.

Just saying 🤷🏻‍♂️

The people who voted for Trump because they thought he’d pull the U.S. back from foreign entanglements and overseas adventurism are really among the prime suckers of our era.

I think I have to admit that things are stupider and more evil than even I would have predicted, and if you've ever read my stuff, that's a pretty low fucking bar

You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

I’ve read a lot of nonsense political novels, but I don’t think any of them imagined the afrikaner broederbond taking over the US Treasury.

It can’t be good, can it? To have all those signs pushed over to the left like that?
