"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” -- "The Great Gatsby"
Truth in reporting👇
🔥 from @EWErickson: “Both sides serve up a crap sandwich of a candidate, point across the aisle at the other side’s crap sandwich, and insist you have to eat theirs because the other one is worse. It is no longer a choice between the lesser of two evils. It is a choice between the evils of two lessers, and voters are getting tired of it.”

Employer Health Costs Are Expected to Spike in 2027 nytimes.com/2026/09/02/busin… via @NYTimes
This is unsustainable. Reducing benefits will undermine the support for free enterprise and push us towards M4A. Adults need to step forward.
The corruption in the White House is remarkable. They make Hunter Biden look like a saint. l.smartnews.com/p-8eK6H6sV/r…
Your judgment and character are at best dubious, and more likely absent given your inability to see that Graham Platner was a creep even before the latest allegations and your history of supporting Communists in the former USSR.
Susan and I took our children and grandchildren to see Hamilton today and we are ordering barbecue for dinner tonight bc it is too hot to grill. Great way to celebrate the 4th.

I am sorry your experience with men is so dreadful. In my youth I was drunk a number of times. In my youth I did all sorts of stupid stuff. Never did I assault or impose myself on anybody, especially a woman. Frankly, out of a few hundred fraternity brothers only a few did that.
Every man out there (if they’re being honest) is reading this Graham Platner story and thinking: “gee, what would happen if the biggest newspaper in the country interviewed all of my exes and asked them about our drunken fights?”
That’s why this story ultimately won’t land. It won’t end Platner’s campaign

Reasons why leaving NATO would be detrimental to the United States & to the world:
• NATO provides the U.S. with access to a massive network of airbases and intelligence assets. Losing this infrastructure would severely limit our ability to project power or respond to global crises, effectively ceding the Eastern Hemisphere.
• Allied nations are primary buyers of our $39 trillion deficit, which keeps our interest rates stable. They hold trillions in Treasuries; a withdrawal could lead them to pivot away from the dollar, weakening its status as the global reserve currency and driving up borrowing costs for every American.
• Leaving NATO would jeopardize multibillion-dollar defense contracts for U.S. companies & would likely trigger retaliatory trade barriers against American goods, hitting our manufacturing and tech sectors directly.
• If the U.S. steps back, Russia & China will immediately fill the vacuum across Europe & Africa. This isolation would leave the U.S. alone to face growing hostile blocs.
• The only time Article 5 was ever triggered was to support the U.S. after 9/11. Abandoning our allies now would signal that American commitments are worthless, destroying our leverage in every future trade or security negotiation.
• Without the American nuclear umbrella, many European nations would feel forced to develop their own nuclear arsenals for survival. A world with several newly armed nuclear states would be far more volatile & impossible to manage.
NATO is the most successful strategic alliance in history, deterring a third world war for 80 years. We are far stronger TOGETHER.
For some reason, we have a President right now who seems hellbent on destroying an alliance that should never be in question (and never has been). There are also foreign influence ops at work that unfortunately, a lot of people are falling for.
But let’s be crystal freaking clear: NATO’s administrative cost is less than 0.06% of our defense budget. Leaving NATO benefits NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, other than our adversaries.

Rubio condemned Iran for making decisions on the basis of theology and their view of theology is an apocalyptic one.
Meanwhile Hegseth is telling US troops the war with Iran will hasten the return of Jesus Christ.
Fucking hypocrites.
