Contrast stunned Paul with realization. He wanted to turn to the aides massed in the sietch entrance, shout at them: If you need something to worship, then worship life - all life, every last crawling bit of it! We're all in this beauty together! -Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah

Tariffs to get refunded to companies, not the consumers who actually paid for the goods with tariffs

Funny how debt gets forgiven when rich people rack it up on yachts, hedge funds, or failed companies. But when regular people go into debt for school, medical bills, or just trying to survive, suddenly it’s called irresponsibility. The hypocrisy is disgusting.

So businesses raised their prices to offset the tariffs, we the consumers paid those higher prices, and now those same businesses can get reimbursed from the government for tariffs we already covered for them by paying higher prices?? And *they* get a refund and we don’t??

CONFIRMED: The US joint Chiefs of staff Air Force Gen. Dan Caine stormed out of an emergency meeting with Trump. Insiders indicate that Trump wanted to invoke the nuclear codes as a deterrence against Iran but Caine refused and invoked the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Como le digo a mi jefe que llego tarde por esto:

#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.

@inthemageors There's no way...7K?

Wife’s A/C on her car died. Compressor and evaporator. Dealership says $7k and quite honestly I don’t have that. HMU if you have any thoughts or prayers

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

Republicans suddenly want religion out of politics lol

The United States is so toxic on the world stage right now that it can’t fill hotels or sell World Cup tickets. Let that land. FIFA projected $30.5 billion in economic impact from millions of international visitors. That demand never showed up. Hotels in Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco have slashed match-day rates by a third from their peak. FIFA has cancelled tens of thousands of reserved rooms across all 16 host cities. Some hotels report cancellation rates above 95%. The reasons aren’t hard to find. Anti-American sentiment. Fear of border crossings. The Iran war driving up oil prices and airfares. And tickets priced into the stratosphere, with finals seats hitting $10,990 a pop. Industry executives are now openly blaming the Trump administration for the shortfall. Tourism economists say the Iran war made an already bad sentiment problem worse. Empty stadiums are now a real possibility. It happened at the Club World Cup last summer. It could happen again, on American soil, at the biggest sporting event on the planet. The White House says this will be “the greatest World Cup ever.” The market disagrees. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@ChristopherHale I'll never understand the apparent desire Republicans/conservatives have to tell the world so loudly and proudly just how ignorant they are. But I will enjoy it.

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters today that Pope Leo XIV doesn't understand “something called the just war doctrine.” Pope Leo is an Augustinian friar who spent twelve years leading Augustine’s religious order. Augustine invented the doctrine. thelettersfromleo.com/p/something-ca…

This dude needs to go. An absolute stain on the Supreme Court and this country. Not even hiding his corruption at this point.

U.S. Automakers: “Americans don’t want inexpensive EVs. We’re cutting our losses and stopping all plans for future EV development.” Also U.S. Automakers: “If we allow China to sell inexpensive EVs here, we’ll go out of business because Americans will buy those instead!”

Tornado shot with drone today near Wyoming, Iowa #wxtwitter #iawx #weather

@FedEx @NFL the absolute worst deliver service in history. You guys spend millions to lobby the end of USPS and you are by far ten times worse.

The ultimate delivery has arrived 🏆 @NFL #SuperBowlLX

I’ll say this: While the photos raised questions, if male insiders were held to a similar standard of ethics, none of them would exist.

I hate how pervasive this attitude has become. “Why teach languages in schools? Why bother teaching fiction / myth / poetry?” Because school is about exposure to new things; because education without the humanities is worthless; because if the schools don’t teach them, who will?

@Eden_Eats but it is a scam lol all health insurance is a scam.

What’s not a scam but feels like a scam? I’ll go first: dental insurance.
