The girls are upset. Warning: the ending is not for the timid.

When Peter Navarro makes a crackpot claim that 100% of tariff incidence is paid by foreign countries, the econ profession rightfully mocks him. When Gabriel Zucman makes a crackpot claim that 100% of corporate tax incidence is paid by shareholders, he gets the Clark medal.

Worth noting that Mehdi Hasan’s recent hate binge and rhetorical escalation are also a sign that his cause is losing its sway over the Western public and a bid for in-group cohesion. He’s had to attack Seinfeld, John Cleese, Bari Weiss, and Mark Dubowitz in the span of the last 24 hours alone to do damage control within his cohorts, which are losing steam and legitimacy. It’s incendiary and not to be taken lightly, but the doubling down seems to stem from realizing his narratives are unwinding and need defending.

I keep saying. X is concentrated malcontents who make hating America a personality (and other countries who want to run ops to divide us). It’s not reality. Normie Americans love this country.

Promises promises.

Eating in Mexico coming from England or Scotland has got to be a transcendent experience. Like seeing colors for the first time

Just randomly looking out the window…

This is so insane😭😭😭

“A chance … to project power” begs a bunch of questions.

Fine. We’ll take the baby to Rome.

Extent to which White House allies are signaling that this is a culture war issue, not a technical one, is striking

I’m concerned that not a single person we’ve elected to national public office can do math, or, it seems, knows how much *they themselves spend* on anything. Like, not everyone gets stocks, I understand that. But this isn’t even remotely correct.

“You knew the first trillionaire?” “I didn’t say I knew him. I said he replied ‘Wow!’ on my post once.”

RT @LJS527: I hate Elon but it's got nothing to do with his money. He deserves credit for his successes in business. And I wish people woul…

This is embarrassing for everyone involved.

The # of leftists who have just shown us that they don’t understand, or worse pretend not to understand, economics is staggering. If you expropriated (stole) 5% of Elon’s stock you have to sell it, then use that cash to compete with other goods and services in the economy. We need to do less of something else (consumption) to do more of whatever it is you want to do. The funding source is irrelevant to the existence of this tradeoff. Oh, and because it’s still most of the consumption, most of the pain of this tradeoff would, as usual, not come from the super-rich, but from the people you pretend to care most about (or you’re just that dumb). Elon is not sitting on a pile of unused health care you can take and hand out.

Therapy dogs waiting to start their shift at a children’s hospital.. 😊

An extremely reliable test of whether you're an honest, sane, & decent human being is whether you agree with this. If you don't, you're not.

My God the lack of self awareness here is just amazeballs.

Some sunny weekend reading from the slough of despair, at @NRO: Who does Donald Trump think he's fooling anymore on Iran? This is a clownshow and a geopolitical disgrace. It's time to tell some home truths about the mess we're in.

“hoarding $1T in stolen wages” is one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while.
