Another day, another Econ 101 lesson for Professor Warren.
Her “Trumpflation” tracker conveniently ignores the Bidenflation tidal wave that crushed American families, cherry-picks wage growth by refusing to acknowledge positive real wage gains since President Trump came into office, and swaps official medical-care CPI data for premium projections when it suits her narrative.
The Harvard Square inflationista is offering a statistical sleight of hand, not a serious assessment of today’s U.S. economy.
Here is the full picture, including an apples-to-apples comparison of President Trump’s real economic results measured against the failed policies Senator Warren championed under Biden.

Of course he name drops an obscure Italian-American communist who was against America's participation in World War 2 and was investigated by the FBI for his ties to the international communist party.
Of all the great men and women of Italian descent who've contributed to New York City and the United States, this is the idiot he picks.
He is physically incapable of being anything other than a loathsome propagandist for communism.
As the most prominent Italian-American in city government, please allow me to formally disinvite you from ever mentioning Italian heritage ever again.
And yes, we Italians came here to work, create businesses, dig the subways, build the buildings -- and it was indeed a struggle. A struggle a rich kid like Zohran could never know. But we didn't ask for any handouts. There was no welfare, millions of us came here knowing there was only ourselves, our work, and our community -- and we thrived. We wanted to become Americans, and our people were proud to learn the language and wave the American flag.
And when the time came, millions of Italian-Americans returned to Europe to fight World War 2, my father included. Many of them had to fight their own former countrymen in Mussolini's Italy. And they did exactly that, because they were nothing less than Americans.
Quite the opposite of the current immigrant situation championed by people like Zohran, where we invite lazy and entitled foreigners to loot the treasury without asking anything in return, as they resentfully fly the flags of their own nations -- and could never be counted on to defend America.
My mother was a widow who raised five children on her own, working in a button factory. We didn't take a penny of government assistance. We relied on ourselves. It was hard work, but we did it, and we were grateful. And today I sit on the City Council, representing the very neighborhood I grew up in.
That's what being an Italian-American in New York means. Not the communist propaganda Zohran is pushing here.
It's about hard work, independence, heritage, and most importantly, pride in being an American above all else.

This is the doom I predicted a few days ago, coming for Photoshop. A clean-room open-source reimplementation.
No prizes for guessing that they decompiled Photoshop to source code, processed that to some kind of non-code specification language, then fed the spec to an LLM with an instruction to generate Rust.
Adobe just got nuked. And closed source is dead, dead, dead.

This is fake news at its finest.
First off, we’re not ‘banning’ any program. The federal government doesn’t set curriculum or programs.
Here’s the truth: we are holding colleges accountable for leaving students worse off than if they never enrolled. Too many graduates report delaying major life milestones like buying a home or starting a family. Why? Because low return-on-investment programs saddled them with unmanageable debt that was never going to translate into a real-world job.
Federal student loans are not a welfare program for failing college programs. American students deserve education and training pathways that prepare them for the workforce – and transparency about programs that will never pay off.
Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/NmmAzhf

This is Chris.
Chris is an aerospace engineer.
Chris said Starship will never reach orbit.
Chris is being frequently quoted today because he was very wrong.
Don't be like Chris.
Instead, cheer on attempts at great human achievements rather than arrogantly belittling them and the people behind them.

Francesca Albanese : "Mais non, les nazis n'avaient rien contre les Juifs en particulier. Ils étaient juste contre les gens du Moyen Orient. La Shoah a aussi frappé les musulmans."
Quand tu sais :
- que Hitler, sans être fana des Arabes, admirait l’islam comme religion "martiale" et "pratique",
- qu'il a conclu une entente avec le Grand Mufti de Jérusalem, antisémite hystérique; lequel a participé à la propagande radio en arabe (Radio Berlin), et aidé au recrutement de volontaires musulmans, notamment pour la division Waffen-SS Handschar
- et que les Arabes, Turcs et et les Iraniens ont été exemptés de certaines lois raciales de Nuremberg...
Quand tu sais aussi que le mot "musulman", dans les camps, désignait les détenus, juifs ou non, dont on savait qu'ils étaient déjà quasiment morts...
Tu n'as même pas besoin d'être juif pour savoir... que Francesca Albanese n'est qu'une ordure sans aucune limite.

Incentives determine outcomes
If you give an NGO a certain number of dollars per homeless person, they will never solve homelessness
SF spends more than $1b/yr (up 5x) and the homeless population has only grown
NGO fraud is so insane, man.

When Fukushima exploded, foreign embassies told everyone to FLEE.
Commercial planes turned around. Ships steered away as fast as they could.
An invisible radiation cloud was drifting across the ocean.
And where was the USS Ronald Reagan?
STEERING DIRECTLY INTO IT.
AT MAXIMUM SPEED.
The radiation alarms were screaming on the bridge.
Every textbook said: "Turn back. Save yourselves."
The Captain and his crew said:
"There are Japanese families shivering on rooftops out there. WE DON'T TURN BACK."
24 hours a day, in freezing sleet, they ran their desalination plants to the brink of failure.
Sailors gave up their OWN fresh water.
They stopped taking hot showers.
They ate cold rations.
Why?
To produce tens of thousands of gallons of pure, uncontaminated drinking water for Japanese babies.
Mechanics with radiation badges worked through the night on snow-covered decks so helicopters could fly non-stop rescue sorties.
While the world backed away in terror,
American sailors ran through the fire for us.
Never tell me true heroes don't wear dog tags. 🇺🇸🔥🇯🇵

Wow. Got them dead to rights.
A main fundraising apparatus of the left was consistently and knowingly breaking the law, and hiding it.
If it was the right caught doing this, it would 100% be the top news story for WEEKS in the legacy media.

“Leftism is unlikely ever to give up technology, because technology is too valuable a source of collective power.”
Leftists spent decades opposing nuclear power, the cleanest and most reliable form of energy we have, because building a “climate change” industry funneled trillions of taxpayer dollars through their activist groups, NGO’s, and political pet projects..
Now they’re turning on AI and data centers.
Why? Because they don’t control them.
So their answer is the same as always… federal regulation. Make permits conditional on funding their political priorities. Force data centers to bankroll favored programs and NGOs. Then expand those regulations until Democrats have full control over the AI models themselves.
“Some leftists may seem to oppose technology, but they will oppose it only so long as they are outsiders and the technological system is controlled by non-leftists.
If leftism ever becomes dominant in society, so that the technological system becomes a tool in the hands of leftists, they will enthusiastically use it and promote its growth.
In doing this they will be repeating a pattern that leftism has shown again and again in the past.
When the Bolsheviks in Russia were outsiders, they vigorously opposed censorship and the secret police, they advocated self-determination for ethnic minorities, and so forth; but as soon as they came into power themselves, they imposed a tighter censorship and created a more ruthless secret police than any that had existed under the tsars, and they oppressed ethnic minorities at least as much as the tsars had done.
In the United States, a couple of decades ago when leftists were a minority in our universities, leftist professors were vigorous proponents of academic freedom, but today, in those of our universities where leftists have become dominant, they have shown themselves ready to take away from everyone else’s academic freedom. (This is ‘political correctness.’)
The same will happen with leftists and technology: They will use it to oppress everyone else if they ever get it under their own control.”

Propaganda being pushed by the left so they can pass sweeping federal laws to control ai and fund their campaigns and politician projects.
They are pretty much saying it out loud now.

We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date.
It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them.
We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies.
These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve.
We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.
