Hereโ€™s a cheat sheet with all the phone numbers for the US Senate. I have a feeling weโ€™ll be calling them a lot in the near future.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didnโ€™t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

Thatโ€™s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isnโ€™t just the cost of the tariff

"The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full-fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US."

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights โ€” ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

People who think that Elon Musk is Tony Stark/Iron Man also think that Trump is the best thing since Lincoln. The thing is, if they were even 70% correct, they wouldn't need every sourpuss liberal to undergo a conversion experience for the unfolding of the next four years to prove their premises.

Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.

Weโ€™re not going back.

Within the vague limits set by enforceable norms, the algorithms promote increasingly controversial content, treating it as synonymous with "stickiness" or engagement metrics. This creates rabbit holes where unmet human needs sink to the lowest common denominators. www.perplexity.ai/search/what-...
