Trump wants to sell Nvidia’s Blackwell AI chips to please Xi Jinping. That’s absurd.

These chips will turbocharge China’s military weapons and surveillance systems.

That’s not “America First.”

It’s putting our national security at risk.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

Sorry... what’s he “satirizing”?

First Amendment speech? The dozens of cases he’s lost because federal judges see him as a would-be dictator—as did the last Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff? The failed F-47? His own infamous incontinence?

What’s your next sentence, Mike? What’s he satirizing?

Ben Meiselas calls on those with standing to act: seek an injunction to halt Trump’s White House ballroom. Argue fraud—Trump claimed he’d pay and not alter the structure—and use the damage to the East Wing as the emergency basis. Demand discovery now.

Hey Don the Con—you know who’s “fighting for their life?”

Single parents struggling to feed their kids. Seniors whose healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Families who can’t afford to buy a home.

And yet you spend $40B of OUR MONEY to bail out Argentina? Sick.

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

He said it wouldn’t impact the existing structure at all. So now we’re talking about something other than the Epstein files: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Outage at Amazon Web Services disrupts websites across the internet Amazon's cloud computing service provides back-end support to many companies that operate online. When it has problems, so do they.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them Three Iowa City West high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

After Donald Trump's address to military leaders today, "senior U.S. officers have to wonder who will shield them from the impulses of the person they just saw onstage," Tom Nichols argues in The Atlantic Daily.

He only has one speech, and it's whatever's on his mind at the time. It's genuinely not good.

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today:

1. Your countries all suck.

2. None of you know what you are doing.

3. The US is better at everything.

4. All because of me.

5. I’m right about everything.

6. You should listen to me & do what I say.

7. And give me lots of awards.

‘Men don’t know why they became unhappy’: the toxic gender war dividing South Korea Toxic masculinity is a global phenomenon, but nowhere is it more virulent than in this hypermodern, connected society. What can other countries learn from this ‘ground zero’ of misogyny?

In the last 5 years, 81 people have been killed by political violence in the US. Right-wing terrorists account for over half of those murders, some 54%, according to research by the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. Islamists account for 21%, and left-wingers for 22%.

Florida just wants to recreate a modern version of Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal.

Karl: The transformation has been gradual and unmistakable.

By February, some golden urns on the mantle.

April, gold adornments appear on the walls.

By July, it's gold everywhere.

Just this week more scaffolding popped up, even more new gold trim appeared.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Each, and everyone of them, and I am talking to you Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins too...

Noticing a pattern here.
