4/4/25: China Calls Trump's Bluff, Stocks Plummet, Lawyer Responds To JD Vance

how do i reach out to the BP producers? Krystal covers democratic primaries, and I know the guy running against Bennie Thompson, who has been in congress for decades now. His name is Evan Turnage, I work with his mom. Evan recently worked as an attorney for Chuck Schumer, and Elizabeth Warren before that. He is a young, progressive Yale graduate who wants to actually help one of the most impoverished districts in the country, and he would be down to be interviewed if BP would be interested in covering this primary. BP community, help me get the word out.

Look, I know merch can be overdone, but hear me out. As someone who's been designing brands for 20 years, I saw you guys didn't drop anything last year and thought, "These folks are probably too slammed with news to think about t-shirts." So during my downtime, I started sketching some ideas.

These aren't your typical slap a logo on a shirt designs. Coming from New Hampshire, where political conversation is basically our state sport, I wanted to creates something that actually reflects the Breaking Points vibe.

I've got some concepts playing with the whole "opposites" theme that feels true to what BP is.

None of these are meant to offend anyone and don't represent anyone at Breaking Points.

If Breaking Points had an AYFKM segment, this Polymarket scandal would get my vote. This is legitimately late-stage capitalism horseshit. What's next--televised execution sponsored by Chic-fil-a?

Being allowed to bet on illegal military operations while potentially being fed the information from the administration is not just a slippery slope, it's loathsome and absolutely devoid of any sort of morality.

Are you fucking kidding me?!

When the pendulum swings back, this country deserves no mercy. The pent up aggression of an entire bullied planet is going to be apocalyptic.

Blessed are the paps that never gave suck, indeed.
