You can always tell when Trump gets fed a line from his Russian/Chinese handlers because suddenly his numbers become correct.
Trump bears an economic grudge against Taiwan and wants Taiwan to pay for US protection. He also says: “Taiwan is 9,500 miles away. It’s 68 miles away from China.”

wow Bari is really into emdashes huh
new: Bari Weiss et al sends a staff memo connecting her decision to hold the “60 Minutes” piece to broader efforts to restore trust in news. “In our upside-down moment, this may seem radical.”

I initially retweeted reports showing Waymo vehicles stalled across San Francisco, with claims tying it directly to the power outage knocking them out like they were 'bricked.' That was too quick on my part. The vehicles weren't permanently disabled or failing due to lack of
Obviously a regrettable event and outside of Waymo’s control, but I wonder what happens to consumer trust/anxiety on the adoption curves for AVs and EVs as a result of grid outages

as always, the core signaling here is that PLAN should have nothing to worry about
The Navy’s new frigate will not be equipped with VLS cells for missiles, per a Navy official to TWZ. The frigates will be able to carry containerized launchers on its stern, but the glaring omission raises serious survivability questions.

the concern must be that if they hurt Willis they'll put in an even better backup.

The real catastrophe here is that we've raised a generation of people who believe that when they get let down easy due to lack of talent, there has to be some institutional conspiracy at play.
Beginning in 2014, prestige industries decided they urgently needed to diversify. They didn’t purge established Boomers. Instead, they did everything possible to avoid hiring white millennial men. This is the story of a generation derailed by DEI. https://t.co/kUfmpHfaMH

time was you could flunk out of the 468th best university after 2 semesters and it *meant something*
“Take Mitchell Boone, a 27-year-old Trump supporter. Five years after leaving a computer science program at the University of Missouri, and what he says are over 1,000 job applications later, Mr. Boone claims he has landed just a single job interview. Today, he says he keeps

just to be clear, this guy enlisted *after* the Iraq War started because he thought it would be fun
25 years ago, Chuck Schumer and Susan Collins both voted to send me and friends to kill and die in Iraq. Apparently neither of them have learned a thing. Regime change didn’t work in Iraq, and it won’t work in Venezuela.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Donald Trump: I told Xi this: Our soybeans are more nutritious than our competitors'. Someone said, "Is that Trump's statement or is that reality?" Actually, you know who asked me that question? Xi. He said, "Really? I've never heard of that."

ICE detained new mother Nayra days after she gave birth while she was headed to visit her baby in the NICU. Then, she was thrown in Broadview with no postpartum care and limited food and water despite being a Type 1 diabetic. Nayra has no criminal record. She’s here with a

Nayra Guzmán was arrested 15 days after her daughter’s difficult birth. Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE.

what the data (in the article!) actually shows: 1. remain in mexico made encounters go up 2. title 42 made encounters go up 3. Biden's asylum limits made encounters go down, but voters don't care
Good piece on why Biden's immigration policy went so awry. The question I've always found impossible to answer is "What was Biden's end game it came to immigration?" This article makes it clear there was no end game - just muddling along with no plan. https://t.co/aZRJGTY7pt

Trump announces plans to “evaluate” the entire childhood vaccine schedule. This was always the plan when RFK Jr. took power. Those who enabled this have blood on their hands.

what twitter is: the top proposed community note is that somalis are not in fact human
Somalis are not garbage. Immigrants and refugees from anywhere are people like you and me. They should not be demonized. This country is built on the backs of people who have come from other places. It’s what our country is all about. 💙
