No, idiot. The tariffs are flowing *from* US companies and consumers and voters. It's an unprecedented tax, the #TrumpTax.

Commemoration of 9/11 is all but pushed out of the news today. For many years on this day, I went to the site, to retrace my survival, in gratitude. Here, I often summoned my memories. Today, the daily attacks on Ukraine and Gaza are on my mind.

As a survivor, I am profoundly disturbed to see news of Trump trying to take over the 9/11 memorial and with it is memory and meaning. He corrupts everything America.

German media have long used the quaint Americanism, "shitstorm." Now, turning the linguistic heat up a notch, @derspiegel's headline says Starmer is "in the middle of a clusterfuck."

"Jimmy Kimmel is no Johnny Carson," says the chair of the FCC, who apparently thinks he is now TV-Critic-In-Chief. Unfortunately, it is not unprecedented: see what the FCC did to @HowardStern. Broadcast should never have been sliced out of the First Amendment.

Good Lord. Jim Cramer to Carr on CNBC: "Should the government have someone who reviews the writers before the host says something?" "No." "How would you be sure the host is saying something you think is OK?"

I think there's consensus that we all should call it the Epstein Ballroom. And I propose renaming the rest the Gold House.
