@andrewrsorkin at least you all made it clear that Lisa Cook is innocent until proven guilty. This administration has no respect for due process.

Every time Putin spits in Trump’s face, Trump takes it out on Zelenskyy and Ukraine. Putin knows this and it won’t change until the GOP stands up to Trump. In other words, nothing will change. It’s all a show. Europe must act, or they’re just a bad show too.

Q: How long is it before President Trump loses his temper with Putin? Whitaker: Trump’s frustrated with Moscow, but in 6 months he’s got Putin and Zelenskyy talking. Civilians keep dying — war must end — Trump built leverage to push both sides closer to a deal. 1/

"Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we're a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier. (...) If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost." — Ronald Reagan

Mises saw the key distinction: in liberal states with limited government power, cultural mixing creates no problems because all interactions remain voluntary. But interventionist states turn immigration into a political battle where "a national minority must expect the worst from a majority of a different nationality."

Biden was wrong to subsidize the private sector with the Chips Act using our tax dollars. The counter to Biden is not to lean in and have govt own part of Intel. This will only lead to more government subsidies and less productivity. Intel will become a test case of what not to do.

@pcristoaloia @Villager1244 @charlesmurray Short term thinking. We would be far ahead of China in automobile innovation now if we hadn't intervened. Instead we would have innovated and competed. Americans are amazingly good at it.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you don’t agree with the deal… At any rate, I’m sure they weighed invoking the Defense Production Act and found it was a lot more costly to provide the full $10.9 billion in non-recoverable DPA style grants than to convert grants into 100% passive equity - it’s a theory

Suppose you build a farm. After a while, the government takes it. Maybe before you die—either way, it's their farm now because they think no human should ever own a farm they didn't build. Or at all, as the case may be. This is how commissars starve a nation. Works every time.

Inheritance tax isn’t “theft” from those who have built a “successful life and legacy”. It is a tax on those receiving a windfall of unearned wealth. It’s not “immoral” unless you think people’s life chances should be determined not by what they do — but who their parents are.

A Ukrainian intelligence officer says the Americans are being “unbelievably aggressive” in pushing Ukraine to forfeit more land—but it is unclear is why they are so forcefully promoting Russia’s interests economist.com/europe/2025/08…

"The mRNA vaccines were developed by scientists, tested by clinicians, evaluated by statisticians, and approved by regulatory experts. Every layer of institutional knowledge validated their safety and efficacy. Yet all of this is being overruled based on a fundamental misreading of what vaccines are supposed to do." Excellent overview of RFKJ's anti-science anti-vaxx decision @Quillette @clairlemon quillette.com/2025/08/08/rfk…

In this video, Friedman explains how socialism relies on force to achieve good. But using force corrupts, no matter how pure the intentions. This is key to understanding why centralized control systems inevitably fail.
