Some tricky conversations this evening about the impending social media ban. ‘I don’t even know who this government guy is’ ‘Keir Starmer’ ‘Keir Starmer, what does that mean’

It’s revealing that these far right accounts understand the facts related to what’s happening, and yet liberals and leftists somehow don’t or are silent on the issue.

“Instead of addressing the known causes of strife among young people, politicians around the world seem intent on leveraging their suffering to push laws that will strip both young and old alike of our rights.”

Senator, Elon Musk gets $8 million in taxpayer money every day.

End the Fed...again? The latest episode of Happy Hour Econ, where a comedian (me) and an economist (@PhilWMagness) walk into a bar... (for the @FreeToChooseNet) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

I get that politics is just listless people cozying up to other listless people. Still, it's jarring to see Republicans nuzzle up to Mark Zuckerberg, a dude who funded a left-wing election scheme and relentlessly censored conservatives.

Vive l'Amérique

The idea that Elon Musk worked harder than every person alive and who has ever lived is a very stupid and immature fairytale. Wake up. He’s robbing us.

TRUMP TO FOX NEWS ON IRAN: WOULD SAY DEAL WILL BE SIGNED ON MONDAY, TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY AND NOW THIS TAKES PLACE

I realize “President shares crazy thing on Truth Social” isn’t really big news anymore, but the fact that President Trump loves the idea of cops adopting the symbol of the Punisher -- with a Trump haircut -- does seem like one more example of the fact that the man who sits atop the executive branch of the U.S. government doesn’t understand what law enforcement is supposed to stand for.

That "populist" tariff agenda sure isn't looking very popular.

TRUST IN TRUMP. "Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end - It always does!" - President Donald J. Trump. 🇺🇸

Trump wants to put his face on a $250 bill and I think that couldn’t be more perfect
