Most billionaire wealth isn't in yachts or jewelry — that's just a few percent of it. Most is productive business capital: companies that employ people, build things, and fund research. Tax that wealth and you're taxing the businesses that employ us all. Cato's Adam Michel explains.

I’ve always wanted to wade into the podcast part of my career, inevitably end up on Barstool and do pizza reviews/defend sexual assault allegations

EA Sports is working on a new open-world football game, seemingly separate from Madden and College Football. https://bit.ly/3VYyOrc

I will now go read the Virginian catholic, a newsletter the prior owners of our house subscribed to and I have not figured out how to cancel, to describe the ways in which I will burn in hell for supporting abortion. Vote yes on 1, I will as many times as allowed.

Man, pick up one staffer who has played ncaa football or 2K. This is what the 12 year lapse of ncaa titles did to our society

A phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED

And we all know how this will end, no one will question him, he’ll leave the senate and go onto some lobbying firm and make 10 million a year trying to manipulate a way to get more beignets into school lunches.

Nothing that a few swinging pull-ups and medically unnecessary testosterone can’t fix

Families of sailors aboard the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln spoke to Military Times about multiple incidents in which sailors have attempted to go overboard amid the ship's extended deployment in support of combat operations in the Middle East

About damn time. When will these toddlers learn some self dependency? How about you go out and earn your faffle? Also, we speak English in America, not babble

More than 4 million people nationwide were dropped from the federal food assistance program known as SNAP from July 2025 through March, according to a nonpartisan think tank. Arizona has seen the sharpest decline.

Lindsey wasn’t even important enough for the faux hospital tour, where Ted Cruz swears he spoke to him for 18 minutes about Iran, the loved ones in his life, why he kept seeing John McCain in the corner..etc

MLM-ification of the entire economy. Either it all crashes and we suffer a giant recession, or the Nazi-edgelord becomes a lone hegemonic power. A win-win if you will

I wrote about SpaceX. SpaceX the rocket company, SpaceX the suspicious financial instrument for Musk to create value out of thin air. SpaceX the meme. SpaceX as the 7-headed hydra at the end of capitalism. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Need some pocket kraut on the go. What if Cheryl wants to go to an Italian dinner? Severe lack of kraut, peptide-less. I fail to see the issue

Moving latrines upriver because drinking contaminated water is what our warrior forefathers did, and they died a warriors death, shitting their brains out

Breaking news: The military will no longer require U.S. troops to receive the annual flu vaccine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, rolling back what he described as “overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities.” https://wapo.st/4eAG2sx

Putting pictures of hardcore pornography on the brim of my hat to ensure everyone knows how much I disagree with ‘kids run the bases day’

President pedophile creating monetary fund to give back to pedophiles. He really looks out for the little guy, you don’t know which Jan 6th guy will turn into the next pageant owner

BREAKING: It's official. The Trump DOJ just confirmed the creation of a $1.776 billion slush fund that can be used to pay Trump allies who claim they've been wrongfully targeted by the Biden admin's ‘weaponization' — including, reportedly, Jan. 6 insurrectionists.

Science is only true when it proves what I believe in, like the healing powers of raccoon penis

The dinner is continuing and Trump is coming back? It’s gotta be a false flag. The secret service fired a couple shots in the rafters so Trump could get a change of pants after his diaper failed. Operation pampers

Marco downing 7 and 7’s like invading Cuba relies on it. Maybe the state of the union Marco is just how he drinks things

God this sucks. “Can anyone save us? I, a US Senator, cannot do anything. The only thing that can save us is the golden hearted troop.” I have and will ignore all the war crimes the noble troop has already committed

Senator Elissa Slotkin@slotkin.senate.gov

It’s moments like these that are why we made the video to service members last year. And I hope and believe our troops — especially those in command — will have the moral clarity to push back if they are given clearly illegal orders.

Ah yes, the same laser that shut down El Paso last month. Let’s deploy that near Reagan, probably be cool, no air traffic there. Plus lasers! PEW PEW

JD Vance, “How I murdered the Pope” on newsstands in two months

Vice President JD Vance has a new book that will explore his religious faith and his conversion to Catholicism as an adult. “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith” will be out June 16.

Need more centrist matty to show up in my timeline to tell me how I need to vote for a sprinkle of fascism and throw his minority of choice to the dogs so the dems can see a poll jump of +0.6 in white men who drive lifted pickups with a roll coal decal on the back

Democrats in the bully pulpit: (Fake Obama voice) Now hold on. I understand we have a fascist death squad running amok, kidnapping and murdering. But what if we allowed them a do-over. Or a mulligan.

Seriously these motherfuckers are harping on training when the two murders have been carried out by veterans on the force. Abolish ICE, and prosecute them all.

UPDATE: Nah. Didn’t happen

CBS News@cbsnews.com

BREAKING: The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Good last week in Minneapolis, Jonathan Ross, suffered internal bleeding to the torso following the incident, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.
