Texas is the most financially distressed state in the country, followed by Florida, Louisiana, Nevada and South Carolina. The states that are best off? That honor goes to Hawaii, followed by Vermont, Alaska, Oregon and New Mexico.

The lectures remain off-the-record, with no transcripts or recordings made public, but they draw upon the work of RenƩ Girard, the French philosopher who profoundly influenced Thiel during his Stanford undergraduate years, along with thinkers like Francis Bacon and Carl Schmitt. #Project2025

Heās running again? Martial law? Bingo is cancelled this week? I give up.
No idea what this Oval Office announcement is. Could be resigning Could be apologizing because Stephen Miller molted all over the Residence and someone caught staff dumping the exuviae out of the window Could be clarifying that tariff revenue is really eleventy three trillion

Hello Septemberā¦ We meet again.
I find the elevation of the term "equality of opportunity" over "equality of outcome" disingenuous. We can't have one without the other. There are preferences, but, in most cases, if we don't have equality of outcome, chances are we've missed something in the complex mix of opportunities #Thoughts

A recently discovered asteroid roughly the size of a commercial jet will pass within 1 lunar distance of Earth on Sept. 3. Here's how you can watch the flyby live online, courtesy of the Virtual Telescope Project. #space #astronomy #observatory

Meet the Presidential Carrion Vultureāa rare species that circles the White House lawn, waiting patiently for senile old leaders to keel over so it can feast on the last scraps of democracy.

Newsom responds to Trumpās odd post announcing he is going to bed early
Taylor and Travisās engagement reminds the world what attention really looks like. His absence just reminds us why the death rumors keep spreading.

Did you know cybercrime is worth $10.2 trillion a year, making it the worldās third-largest economy in 2025? Thatās bigger than the GDP of Japan and Germany combined, fueled by ransomware, fraud, and data theft. #security #cybercrime #technews
The countdown is urgent. The United States, once the anchor for global stability, stands at the epicenter of destabilization. These ripples fracture economies, alliances, and human welfare worldwide.
A fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME), launched by a long-duration M2.7 flare from sunspot AR 4199 on Aug. 30, is expected to slam into Earth's magnetic field late on Sept. 1 into early Sept. 2 (UTC), according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).

New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
The Republican Party is like the CEO of Tooth Decay. Theyāll tell you cavities donāt exist, dentists are part of a liberal conspiracy, and the real problem is immigrants sneaking into your mouth to steal your molars. #MAGA #Trump
You made my week with this! šš» Thank you, Patricia.
How to tell youāre living under dictatorship.
Honestly, with Trump itās a Schrƶdingerās President situation. Until someone checks Mar-a-Lago, heās both golfing and dead at the same time.
Come to think of it. All we need to do is follow the nuclear football.
Follow me for more sage words of wisdom and advice.
Ohhhh!!! Good idea! š¤£š¤£š¤£
MIT warned of collapse if growth continued unchecked. That warning is no longer theoryāitās policy. Immigration bans, tariffs, and Project 2025 have turned stabilizers into destabilizers. Collapse isnāt distant. Itās happening now. #Politics #News #Climate

I just left the Senate floor after speaking out against the Big Ugly Bill. It breaks my heart that this is what weāve come to as a Senate ā and as a country.

Trumpās war on higher ed is no longer rhetoricāitās regime policy. DEI gutted. Protest criminalized. Dissent deported. Whatās happening on campuses now is erasure, not reform. šRead the full breakdown. Itās already started. #HigherEducation #WarOnEducation #AcademicFreedom #Project2025 #DefendTruth
TIL your body can host a protein so badly folded it convinces all the other proteins to fold wrong, tooālike a cult leader for molecules. Itās called prion disease. Thereās no cure, no treatment, and it has a 100% fatality rate. TIL, Iām scared of protein. #TIL

Four jets in five months? Thatās not a deploymentāitās a clearance sale. You break it, you buy it, Navy. At this rate, Spirit Airlines is gonna start looking like an upgrade.

AOC: We need to be talking about ICE agents and the cowardly policy of covering their faces ā and, in many cases, their identificationā¦ The idea that weāre going to allow a paramilitary force to bloom, one that isnāt accountable to the Constitutionā¦ weāve got another thing coming.
This executive order is classic Trump sleight-of-hand: take a complex, nuanced legal principle and dumb it down into a populist slogan that sounds like justiceābut functions like a campaign. www.dailysignal.com/2025/05/09/t...
I've always loved Paul Rudnick's wit.
So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
