Ah yes, the scientific method famously instructs us to predetermine a conclusion and then do studies to “make the proof.”
RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job.

Larry David writing a NYT guest essay as a man having dinner with Hitler, just to roast Bill Maher as a smug, self-important clown, is the stuff of comedy legend.

I’m starting to understand how he bankrupted casinos.
Trump: You know, the cost of eggs have come down like 93, 94% since we took office. They are pretty much normally price now… Groceries have come down. It’s all coming down
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Official US government statistics deny these claims. for eggs, the price went from 5.897 to 6.227 from February to March 2025. In general, retail prices are stable or have not decreased. bls.gov/regions/mid-at…

In just three months, with no external shocks, economic forecasters have gone from predicting that the U.S. economy would continue to deliver ongoing growth, to predicting a quite weak (and possibly recessionary) economy.

a bunch of people working really hard to achieve something and then this doofus immediately breaking it is an incredible metaphor for this whole jackass administration
The images of JD Vance breaking the College Football Championship trophy is better than the video

Trump: "He made $2 and a half billion today and he made "900 million." Remember when MAGA Republicans were complaining about Pelosi's stock trading?

The S&P 500 is still down 14% from its peak in February due to the president's antics and his supporters are talking about him like he's a genius because it's not down 20%.

Blind squirrel finds nut
GOP in 2010: Stop the socialists! GOP in 2025: The conveniences of modern life are overrated. We will reorder the economy and redistribute wealth. Your losses are a small sacrifice for the glory of the nation!

Regardless of what you made of Biden-era industrial policy, is an amazingly grim irony that US tariffs are being raised with the stated aim of reindustrialising America, ignoring an *actual generational boom in industrial investment* which the tariffs now pose a huge threat to.
"Companies are double-checking the numbers on planned factories, or halting them altogether."

NYU cancelled a speech by the former head of Doctors Without Borders because she was going to mention casualties in Gaza and the impact of USAID cuts. Thank God we finally ended censorship and cancel culture on college campuses.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, @JeffreyGoldberg. theatlantic.com/politics/arc…
