You can use your phony cornpone accent to try to cover up your role in amplifying Schmidt’s disgusting display. It won’t work.

Every Day is a bigger Nightmare under Trump.
5 More weeks until the election. VOTE!

More nuclear options for Trump? That report deserves attention.
Then there’s Hegseth on Iran, Trump’s Iraq remark, and the “superintelligence” signature page.
Six moments from September 30. Watch our Catch-Up.

Enten: "Congratulations to Ken Paxton. You are the least popular Texas Senate GOP nominee this century. No one was even in the negative, and you're at -16."

meanwhile state health officials were clearing their schedules to triage the thousands of people who lose Medicaid tomorrow under HR1
many who are active treatment or hospice right now
Trump health officials really cleared their calendars yesterday for the all-day MAHA Summit.
RFK Jr. and Stef Spear were there all afternoon. Calley Means and Kyle Diamantas arrived mid-morning and stayed rest of the day.

CMS Administrator Dr. Oz is in Texas talking about small employer health coverage. He mentions how "most-favored nation" deals (which are secret) pushed down drug prices "more than they have been reduced in 60 years." That is, in a word, baloney. statnews.com/2026/08/18/whit…

Trump introduces Marco Rubio and says, "watch what he does with Cuba"

There were far too many, who actively encouraged a violent insurrection, and others who immediately condemned Trump as the instigator, but then refused to convict him. But if Schmidt is not the worst, he is a particular brand of immoral evil. He besmirches the Senate I revered. 4

The real dirtbag reveals himself.
Sen. Eric Schmitt expressed no remorse for falsely accusing Jack Smith of lying to Congress about attending a basketball game as a guise to investigate Trump.
“He has lied before to Congress,” the Missouri Republican said.

Trump: "The greatest ballroom ever built -- it's also a tremendous military complex with a drone port on top. Be careful. Don't fall over the edge. And only a Hispanic could survive that fall."

Joker Josh Hawley. The other trashy Missouri senator. I didn't vote for him either. Josh Hawley ran like a coward on Jan6. HE WAS AFRAID for miserable Maga life. Then he bootlicks the man responsible for it. (Five and a half years later)

Unaccompanied minors — immigrant children as young as two years old — are being brought before an immigration judge and expected to adequately represent themselves.
This year, the Trump administration allowed a contract with the Acacia Center for Justice to lapse, leaving a vacuum where the center once provided legal counsel to over 20,000 kids.
In addition to being plainly negligent, these children are being denied due process under the Constitution of the United States of America. I have been a voice on this issue for as long as I have served in Congress, but recent events have shown unprecedented levels of cruelty by this administration that must stop once and for all.

Calling Canada “one of the worst countries in the entire world” after more than 40,000 Canadians served alongside us in Afghanistan and 158 of their troops died...
while saying “we get along with China” as Beijing has supported Iran's military during a war killing and wounding Americans...
may be the peak of geopolitical absurdity.
CANADA FOUGHT BESIDE US.
CHINA IS HELPING ARM THE OTHER SIDE.

Very cool paper
The U.S. is in the midst of one of the largest investment booms it's experienced in its history, fueled by the arrival of a new general-purpose technology: AI. The U.S. is projected to invest roughly 3.6% of GDP in AI infrastructure (think data centers etc) per annum between 2025 and 2032. That is about three times the size of the US telecom and fiber investment boom in the late 90s. And it’s roughly 50% larger than the railroad investments of the late 19th century.
What do you have to believe about future cash flows if you're building data centers right now? In his new BPEA paper "Financing the AI Buildout" @SVNieuwerburgh ran the numbers for us. For US data center owners to break-even with a 10% required return, you'd have to expect that total gross revenue of data centers exceeds 9% of projected US GDP by 2032
