THE $168 BILLION WAS TAKEN ILLEGALLY AND THE GOVERNMENT DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE IT BACK. Kill me I’ve wasted my life.
Aaron RuparBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."

If Palestinians had targeted and blown up a synagogue in Israel it would be one of the lead stories on every UK news channel. But Israel targeting & blowing up a mosque in Gaza? It doesn't get a mention.

I've not seen this mentioned elsewhere and wanted to surface it — Cornyn and Tillis both signed off on a letter dated July 15 that urged Blanche to use the DOJ’s might to “stop the abortion industry’s unlawful and unsafe mail-order abortion drug practice.” talkingpointsmemo.com/where-things...

It’s worth noting: the anti-austerity movement arose organically from the public at a time when public organisations and NGOs were blaring klaxons about the calamitous damage austerity was doing. And so the lads got together and stomped those insolent motherfuckers into the earth, where they belong.
flyingrodentWhy did Britain spend the decades after the financial crisis repeatedly stabbing itself for no good reason, with both hands? Because all the right sort of chaps decided that was better and more in their interest than e.g. admitting the Thatcherite consensus was fucked and needed to be replaced.

This was already well known. Harry Reid said years ago he could always count on her vote when he didn't need it.

Reminder that last year a Republican senator speaking on the record (!) admitted in so many words that all of this is playacting -- that GOP leadership "allow[s] [Susan] Collins the flexibility to vote no on some nominees" for electoral reasons. #MEpolitics

Susan comes out against Todd Blanche now that he's got the votes. So tiresome. (We called it: tinyurl.com/3bepafkz) #MEpolitics

As a historian, I would never, EVER use LLMs to do research. They can't be trusted. They will inevitably Just Make Shit Up. And as someone with a PhD in history, I would then lend credence to Shit My Plagiarism Machine Made Up, and just ethically that's a huge no-no.

"History involves sorting and organizing hundreds of thousands of facts" I remain astounded by how loud and wrong people are about what history actually is.
