From the @wsj.com “The [US] middle class—generally considered to include households making roughly $53,000 to $161,000 a year—is playing an outsize role in that waning optimism. After months of tracking high-income earners’ increasing confidence about the economy, households making … 1 of 2

Funny how everyone lost their minds over egg prices, but now that energy bills are through the roof, it’s suddenly crickets. Guess breakfast outrage was easier than turning the lights on

Wow, breaking news—water is wet, the sky is blue, and Russia isn’t looking to negotiate. Thanks for the revelation, Madam PM.

Relying on AI for entry-level and lower-tier roles might look efficient now, but it guts the leadership pipeline. Without real people learning and growing through those foundational jobs, organizations won’t just use AI—they’ll be permanently dependent on it.

Forget mitochondria—anyone with functioning eyes can see today’s teenagers are a fast-food-fed, screen-addicted downgrade from past generations. And let’s be honest—it starts with parents who don’t say no, don’t enforce discipline, and model the same lazy habits themselves.

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.

Because when people think “founding ideals of democracy,” they naturally picture Trump’s vision of D.C. looking like a bankrupt Atlantic City hotel lobby.

Given Tim Cook’s recent White House visit, it seems the tariff timeline was structured just long enough for Apple to get the new iPhones shipped beforehand.

As a parent, I’m all for age verification—if I wouldn’t drop my kid off in a sketchy neighborhood, why would I hand them the whole Internet unfiltered

Agreed. Unless I’m overlooking something, this seems to put the U.S. in a far weaker position for trade negotiations with China—Beijing now knows we’ve left ourselves with no fallback.

Maybe share that with your analyst—you know, the one you pay to arrive at the same conclusions. Peace out 😝

The Constitution tasks the fed gov to “provide for the common defense.” That framing highlights protection of the nation and its people, not wars. “Dept of Defense” aligns with that constitutional duty. “War Dept” suggests aggression or conquest, which doesn’t reflect the nation’s stated principles.
MaxV (@max-ca.bsky.social) reply parent
WWII was defense, so you just made my point. I was sent to the Gulf in '91. So you tell me, why are you wanting to change it to the Department of War? You a war hawk without the influence of position?
MaxV (@max-ca.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, and so what? I wouldn’t have served in a ‘Department of War.’ Defense was enough. Let me guess—you’re also nostalgic for Confederate flags and statues? Fascist

Sip count: every ‘dictator’ mention.

Nothing says "he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize" like renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of WAR.

As I watch the world leaders arrive at the White House, I think, "They are being used just like the media for Trump's reality show." Like the media, they react every time he makes false claims about significant accomplishments.

Can you describe the president's perspective on taking a stake on Intel in exchange for federal grants? Are we expecting to see the white house make similar arrangements with other companies? Leavitt: It is a creative idea that has never been done before China, Russia, NK… all are cry-laughing

It's bad enough to not offer help or to look the other way, but it's an entirely different level of evil to deliberately block aid and assistance.

When will the media realize that his entire administration is a performance? He rushes from one press conference to another, declaring victory without achieving anything. Yet, with every press conference, they treat it as real news. He’s using them in his propaganda.

When Trump said he could not believe Biden nominated Powell yesterday, why didn’t you at CNBC adamantly correct and discuss how outrageous that comment was? Instead, you all let it slide.

Epstein's criminal history dates back to the early 2000s, including a lenient plea deal in 2008 under Bush DOJ by Alex Acosta, who served as Trump's Labor Secretary. The documents from years of investigations and sealed court records may contain details that Trump is concerned could be made public.

With the announcement of Trumps computer tariff exception yesterday means if you manufacture an entire computer in china you are exempt from tariffs but if you manufacture them in US but import components you will be tariffed at 140%. This is going bring back manufacturing to the US?
