US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate" my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations. poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive

Kudos to @xAI for being the first AI company to challenge a Colorado law requiring it to censor truthful answers if they could have a “differential impact” on protected groups. This is Woke AI. It teaches AI models to lie. And it’s a violation of the First Amendment.

Stephen A. Smith has two words for MTG and other “bloviators” pushing the 25th Amendment on President Trump: “STOP IT!” “That ain’t going to happen.” “As long as he’s alive and breathing…. Trump’s going to be the president until the end of the year 2028. It’s just a fact.” “The 25th Amendment will not be executed.” “Stop it. All you’re showing is how useless you are.” “To invoke the 25th Amendment, you’re going to have to get the Vice President to sign off, the Republicans in the House to sign off, Cabinet members to sign off, basically declaring him unfit.” “And as a result, it’s a reason why it’s never been exercised in American history.” “Stop it!”

White House: This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen. From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation. Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days.

BREAKING: Tesla has officially released FSD V14.3 I'm downloading it in my Model Y right now. Here's everything that's new: • Improved parking location pin prediction, now shown on a map with a P icon. • Increased decisiveness of parking spot selection and maneuvering. • Rewrote the Al compiler and runtime from the ground up with MLIR, resulting in 20% faster reaction time and improving model iteration speed. • Enhanced response to emergency vehicles, school buses, right-of-way violators, and other rare vehicles. • Mitigated unnecessary lane biasing and minor tailgating behaviors. • Improved handling of small animals by focusing RL training on harder examples and adding rewards for better proactive safety. • Improved traffic light handling at complex intersections with compound lights, curved roads, and yellow light stopping - driven by training on hard RL examples sourced from the Tesla fleet. • Upgraded the Reinforcement Learning (RL) stage of training the FSD neural network, resulting in improvements in a wide variety of driving scenarios. • Upgraded the neural network vision encoder, improving understanding in rare and low-visibility scenarios, strengthening 3D geometry understanding, and expanding traffic sign understanding. • Improved handling for rare and unusual objects extending, hanging, or leaning into the vehicle path by sourcing infrequent events from the fleet. • Improved handling of temporary system degradations by maintaining control and automatically recovering without driver intervention, reducing unnecessary disengagements. Upcoming Improvements: • Expand reasoning to all behaviors beyond destination handling. • Add pothole avoidance. • Improve driver monitoring system sensitivity with better eye gaze tracking, eye wear handling, and higher accuracy in variable lighting conditions.

Tesla self-driving saves a lot of lives – the statistics are unequivocal. That doesn’t mean it’s perfect, of course. Even when we improve safety 10X, saving 90% of the million lives lost in auto accidents every year, Tesla will still get sued for the 10% who did die. The 90% who are still alive mostly won’t even know that Tesla saved them. Nonetheless, it is the right thing to do.

🚨HOLY CRAP. Billy Bush reveals that ABC News created a 75-person team in 2016 whose only job was to destroy Donald Trump’s career. “I know the guy who ran the division…[It] was dedicated to basically getting him!” This is criminal.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! In front of MILLIONS of Americans President Trump exposes Barack Hussein Obama for giving Iran cash used to terrorize the world "Hussein Obama gave them $1.7 billion in cash, green, green cash! Took it out of banks from Virginia, D.C., and Maryland." "All the cash they had flew it by airplanes in an attempt to buy their respect and loyalty, but it didn't work." "They LAUGHED at our President and went on with their mission to have a nuclear bomb!" "His Iran deal would have led to a colossal arsenal of massive nuclear weapons for Iran, and they would have had them years ago, and they would have used them, would have been a different world. Traitor!

$HOOD BREAKING: Robinhood is chosen along with Bank of New York Mellon to support implementation of the new Trump Accounts program. "Under this designation, BNY will manage the initial accounts and help develop the new Trump Accounts app. As part of this process, BNY has partnered with Robinhood, which will serve as brokerage and initial trustee for Trump Accounts." Big step for Robinhood and bringing access to the markets for our country's youth 🇺🇸

🚨 ARGENTINA PRESIDENT JAVIER MILEI says it absolutely PERFECTLY "I thought being on the left was a mental problem...what I discovered is that being on the left is a DISEASE of the SOUL." "The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, unequal treatment before the law. They are very violent." "And since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence." "Lefties always resort to physical violence and all kinds of violent manifestations because they are unable to refute the arguments!" 🇺🇸🇦🇷

Deranged liberals cook up insane conspiracy theories when @POTUS goes 12 hours without speaking to press. (They said nothing when Biden routinely went 12 days without speaking to press) Fear not! President Trump literally never stops working.

As it should.

BREAKING: The US economy adds 178,000 jobs in March, crushing expectations of 65,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.3%, below expectations of 4.4%. This marks the biggest monthly job addition since March 2025. A much stronger than expect jobs report amid the Iran War.

SpaceX builds about 85% of its rockets and spacecraft completely in-house. Unlike Boeing and Lockheed Martin, which buy parts from thousands of suppliers and wait months for changes, SpaceX engineers can fix or improve things instantly by walking down the hall. This speed advantage helped them go from the Falcon 9's first flight in 2010 to the first successful booster landing in 2015 in just five years, while Boeing has spent over a decade still struggling with Starliner. Vertical integration is how SpaceX moves so much faster than everyone else. Source: @XFreeze

Under President Trump, the federal workforce has been reduced to its smallest level since 1966 — the lowest share of the total labor force in over a century.
