I’d really be concerned if it was something like “Mein Kampf;” is Dave Rubin unaware of something I was made aware of in 9th grade social studies class during the 1978-79 school year? Man, he should probably get out more. #USpol

Recesión técnica: La economía argentina crecería apenas 1% en lo que queda del año

La economía argentina entró en recesión técnica debido a que las estimaciones de las principales consultoras privadas confirmaron una contracción económica durante el tercer trimestre de 2026, encadenando dos períodos consecutivos en terreno negativo. Los analistas recortaron sus proyecciones, siguiendo la tendencia del FMI.

"Nvidia CEO Jenson Huang⚡resigns, Colette Kress named interim chief." -CNBC "Replacing #Huang as CEO of #Nvidia 🚨could backfire on the ENTIRE #AI boom. Why? Bc of this chart. Jensen's been one of the biggest architects of circular financing -has been propping up those valuations & nearly all of these deals were negotiated by him. Would a successor be able to engineer similar structures? & does uncertainty with Nvidia's direction call into Q this broader gambit? Tenuous times." -Nic #USPol

AOC on Trump Veto Threats: We’re within striking distance of veto overrides. So we can do it the nice way, or we can do it the hard way. I do think that this president does not want to be seen as impotent for the next two years.

So after YOU delivered a Blue Tsumani walloping to the GOP and Trump, did they learn? Not really. They made Jim Jordan Minority speaker of the House. https://thehill.com/homenews/6211341-republicans-elect-jim-jordan-minority-leader/ A reminder he ignored (or covered up?) a hideous sex abuse scandal at OSU, which got brought up when he tried to be Speaker. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/11/jim-jordan-house-speaker-ohio-state-wrestlers-abuse House Republicans banded together to derail attempts to impeach Pete Hegseth. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/11/10/us/hegseth-impeachment-vote-house So between these actions and Stephen Miller, looks like the GOP is all behind racism, war, and covering up sex abuse. So par for the course. Ready to make them pay even more in 2028? #uspol #democracy #epsteinclass #democrats #bluetsunami
