- but now Platner is taking a rare, risky approach by leaning into the controversy. The 41-year-old argued to Semafor that his party shouldn't make an example of him while trying to court the votes of men who may have also said things they regret.

Stocks are sinking and the VIX, a measure of volatility, is spiking, off the back of weak jobs data and new tariffs. Yet Wall Street is still bullish. Why it matters: Strategists who spoke with Axios believe the long-term upside for the stock market outweighs any near-term weakness and suggest buying dips, especially in tech. What they're saying: "The April tariff-driven pullback serves as a reminder to avoid overreacting," Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer and chief market strategist at Truist, wrote in a note to clients.

A somehow ominous drawing of a smiling sun floating in the sky. This is an excerpt of one of OP's full size images.
Person 1: “So, we all understand why a man might feel like he wants to be a woman?” Person 2: “Of course! I mean who wouldn't? To be beautiful and graceful like that is the dream.” Person 1: “IKR? BUT, we all also agree that that's not possible, there's no way for a man to stop living as a man and start living as a woman, right?” Person 3: “Duh, obviously. If it was possible to change your gender, then everyone would do it.” Person 1: “Exactly! The entirely relatable appeal of becoming a woman would be irresistible, were it possible to do so, which it definitely isn't.” Person 3: “I almost wish it was possible.” Person 2: “Same, bro. Same.” “This! It's not like any of us are happy to know it's impossible to be trans. We're as upset as they are!”
