JD Vance humiliates "his wife" on stage: "I think she's doing a great job as second lady of the United States and I'm so proud to have her back... by my side. Here's the thing. The cameras are all on; anything I say, no matter how crazy, she has to smile, laugh, and celebrate it."

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Keep this in mind: Elon Musk’s net worth is tied to Tesla stock—he uses it as collateral for loans. Tesla lost 48% of its value in months—sales are down, investors don’t trust him, and JPMorgan says there’s no historic comparison. Hype built his empire. Reality is catching up.
