In honor of @nodefnd’s opening this weekend, I used AI to make a few short-film stories about Punks, just for fun. Hope you enjoy! "Punk5364: Soldier of Fortune"

Good morning. A reminder that historically when the US has wanted to punish other countries, it imposed sanctions on them, cutting their people off from global trade, hoping to create enough economic havoc that they rein in their leaders. Trump has imposed economic sanctions on the American people.

Honestly I think this is what's driving me nuts more than anything in the discourse. The completely memory-holing of 2023, when there was a new chip or battery factory being announced almost every day. All these larping pro-manufacturing Influencers weren't even paying attention.
THE WORST DEFENSE OF THE TRUMP TARIFFS In today's Odd Lots newsletter, I wrote about how there are so many different arguments being put forth to explain or defend the tariffs. But the stuff about countering China's strategic tech dominance has to be the most egregiously bad.

Except for the part where DON JR. HIMSELF RELEASED EMAILS ADMITTING HE TOOK THE MEETING BECAUSE HE WAS PROMISED DIRT ON HILLARY CLINTON. xitter.cf/peterbakernyt/status/8…
.@PressSec says “there was nothing as far as we know that would lead anyone to believe” that Don Jr. meeting wasn’t about adoption policy.

He knows he's better off if his own words keep the ban off the table. He's laying the groundwork to blame liberals when something happens.
He also had the opportunity to call the story "false" before we published it (we quoted him on the record.) He did not. xitter.cf/jmpalmieri/status/8642…
2/2 what's meaningful is McMaster refused to say what in the story is false. xitter.cf/shanegoldmacher/status…

Freaked out about Russia/CIA news? Go to Breitbart, Drudge or Fox News.com, where story doesn't exist.

4. Hillary Clinton won < 400 counties nationwide, out of more than 3,000. Those HRC counties make up nearly *TWO-THIRDS* of the U.S. economy
