One point not discussed in Trump's tariff plan is that it isn’t just trade — it’s a culture war. It's about work and the kinds of work that still counts. For Trump, the American Dream is collateral damage for "MAGA Maoism" My latest in @washingtonpost 👇washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/…
It's a shame MAGA Maoism follows the worst aspects of the CCP when they got a policy right here that looks pretty good

Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper stood nose to nose with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred during a meeting last week and told him to “get the f--- out of our clubhouse” if he wanted to talk about a salary cap, sources told ESPN. News free and unlocked: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…
The MAGA narrative was that Trump cut ties with Epstein over child rape allegations. But Trump himself now says it was because Epstein tried to poach his maids. Truly the voice of the working class.

Evergreen meme

This is a great question to ask. As someone left of center, if you think the answer is the second one, think hard about what needs to change or accept you believe there is basically no chance of Democrats controlling the Senate and passing real laws for the next decade or so.
Watching the new South Park and forgot how awesome an character PC “Political correct” Principal was, these guys don’t miss lol
An interesting fact about Grant's visit to East Asia was that he was disgusted by what the West was doing over there, so he met w/ both China and Japan trying to urge them to cooperate so that they wouldn't be overrun by the West. Even tried to mediate a dispute btwn them.
