Give a man a book, and he'll read for a week. Teach a man to write a book, and he'll never fully enjoy anything again.

Good thing we aren’t sending any money to Israel, much less billions of dollars.

An insane and deeply troubling story from @semaforben semafor.com/article/10/25/20…
I see more Obama Derangement Syndrome on here than TDS. A fifteen year old car was built two years after “cash for clunkers.” It took .3% of cars off the market, many from the 1980s. It’s insane to think that had any effect then, much less now.
You could use logic to realize this this is dumb, but you could also just read a paper by the economists who studied it. ceepr.mit.edu/workingpaper/d…

"Donald Trump and his family are executing corruption at a scale never previously contemplated in the American experiment. If we are to ever graduate from this era of brazen graft, the first step is to notice." A service, from @MattWelch. reason.com/2026/07/09/the-mo…

Since the White House is now plagiarizing Oren Cass's stupid chart, here is the corrected version.
California is a bizarre state to accuse of stolen elections. The elections would be one Democrat stealing a primary from another. Wouldn’t the losing Dems be trying to stop it?

BREAKING:
The Trump Justice Department just sent letters to local election officials across California — every county in the state — demanding they identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls and set aside their ballots.
Local officials would "risk significant federal scrutiny" if they failed to comply.

Now hold on. The media keeps telling us Israel is an apartheid state.
And now you’re telling me Arab Israelis have their own political parties? They vote? They serve in parliament??
Israel is really shitty at apartheid.

I’ve seen a slew of book proposals saying that the problem with AI is it alienates us from our spiritual selves. It makes me think the book that would sell is “Thankfully, AI is here to finally rid us of religion and spirituality.”

She got $50 million ! For arranging a pardon!! $50 million. $50 million.
$50 million.
A billionaire wanted a pardon. His family gave a $50 million deal to Alina Habba, a lawyer with close ties to President Trump. nyti.ms/4zNq59Z
To all my friends and colleagues on the right: no one is forcing you to defend the Vivek ad. You don’t have to talk about it at all! It might actually be better for the election if you talked about literally anything else!
Trump: "Vivek Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Amy Acton, who is running for Governor of Ohio, is a liar, and much worse. The Press, in a concerted and well coordinated attack, is trying to get Vivek Ramaswamy to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about a daughter in that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving in Office"
The most important thing I've learned in my career is that it's much better to be a smart dumb person than a dumb smart person.
