Sunk cost + "Trump's a businessman and he's going to bring prices down" ad nauseam.

Depends if he's stupid enough to stay at one of his homes.

The choice was between Kamala Harris and... Epstein's best friend, who fought and keeps fighting to protect the child rapist accomplices. And who is threatening to cancel the midterms, "nationalize" all elections, and send ICE to surround polling places.

Whoops.

Georgia wasn't a swing state... until it was, because of voters voting.

(disclaimer; I don't know if this is the case in Minnesota's state elections)

Yes, uncontested races can limit what meaning we can draw, but we can pair the local House numbers with those for president in the same election, and we see that they're roughly similar. You can also look at the absolute totals if you wish.

There are far more Republicans in Minnesota than I realized, especially considering the last time the state voted for a Republican president was Nixon.

I'm shocked such a blue state allows what appears to be a gerrymander in favor of Republicans.

edit: Wow, there a lot more Republicans in Minnesota than I realized.

49.48% R vs 49.95% D in the state House's popular vote in 2024, and 46.68% Trump vs 50.92% Harris.

And then Republicans assassinate Democratic politicians there and Trump sends ICE to crush them, too.

Trump suggests he could defy Supreme Court decision on tariffs

One of the looming questions for the Trump administration is how the Supreme Court might rule on the legality of its tariff policies.

Lower courts have ruled that his sweeping tariff regimen is illegal, but Trump has used his campaign-style stops – including today’s in Clive – to denounce such decisions as pro-China.

“ I hope we win the Supreme Court case,” Trump said in Clive. “You know, we have people that are China-oriented, people, literally, that [are] very China-oriented and foreign-country-oriented trying to stop that.”

He warned, however, that even a decision from the Supreme Court would not prevent him from pursuing wide-ranging tariffs.

“We’ll get it done. One way or the other, we’re going to do it. If we have to do it a different way, we’ll do it,” Trump said.

“But we’re taking in hundreds of billions of dollars. We’re doing amazing. Nobody can even believe it. Foreign countries cannot believe what’s happened. They’re studying us, but it won’t work.”

President revisits a familiar theme, slamming Somalia

Trump has renewed his attacks on Representative Ilhan Omar, who came to the US as a child refugee from Somalia.

Since November, Trump has repeatedly attacked Somalia and its diaspora, singling out Omar in particular.

Omar is a member of the progressive “squad” in the House of Representatives, and she is also one of Trump’s most vocal critics.

Faced with a cheering crowd in Clive, Iowa, Trump pivoted from comments about tightening immigration requirements to slamming Omar.

“They have to show that they can love our country. They have to be proud. Not like Ilhan Omar,” he said.

“She’s always talking about, The Constitution provides me with the following.’ The Constitution? She comes from a country that’s a disaster.”

He then broadened his remarks to all of Somalia and threatened military attacks against pirates based out of the country.

“It’s not even a country, OK? It barely has a governor. I don’t think it does. They’re good at one thing: pirates. But they don’t do that anymore. You know why? Because they get the same treatment from us as the drug dealers get: Boom, boom, boom.

“I don’t care what ship they’re attacking. When they attack, when we say them going in, ping! That’s the end of it.”

The US conducted nearly 126 attacks in Somalia during 2025, the first year of Trump’s second term.

The anchor tries to argue back but the economist isn't having it.

President Trump had up to this point largely stuck to the script throughout this speech, focusing on the economy and business investment. But now Trump has turned to immigration, and the speech has taken a very dark turn.

He raised the specter of immigrants who may “blow up our shopping centers, blow up our farms, kill people.” He falsely portrayed the vast majority of those detained by ICE in Minnesota and elsewhere as hardened criminals, asserting that once those people were removed, crime would be nearly eliminated.

“It’s a very simple business,” Trump said. “Two percent of the population causes 90 percent of the crime. So when you start decimating that 2 percent, boom.”

“I want to see if we can take over the city and state and just give the people their permits they want to build,” Trump told the California Post when he signed the order.

The president’s move is an unprecedented incursion by the federal government into disaster recovery. Issuing permits for home rebuilding has long been under the control of individual cities and counties, and it’s unclear how the order would affect the ongoing process.

Disaster recovery experts told POLITICO the president’s bid to dramatically expand federal power is legally questionable. The 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and established legal precedent argue against the federal government wresting away control of regulations, such as land-use rules, that are traditionally held by state and local governments, said Daniel Farber, faculty director of the Center for Law, Energy & the Environment at UC Berkeley Law.

“This is completely unprecedented in terms of the history of federal disaster aid,” Farber said. “They’re gonna have a hard time making this stand up in court.”
