What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

@kschake.bsky.social's comment here is a great antidote to the U.S. public's resignation in the face of Trump's despicable sellout of Ukraine. Thank you for reminding us that there are higher values than peace.

took a few days off for my brain and one pretty alarming observation i have is just how easy it is to not hear about the bad stuff that is happening if you don't explicitly dip into specific information streams (not a new problem but feels orders of magnitude more siloed than even 2-3 years ago)

The president is conducting a press event with the primary purpose of flouting the decisions of the courts and the letter and spirit of U.S. law. It is a press event to celebrate the Constitutional crisis and serial violation of human rights he has set in motion.

Watching this Trump-Bukele meeting with chime-ins from Miller, Bondi and Rubio. There's just no question about the game they're playing. A stream of lies and escalations and absolute nonsense that any sane person can see through instantly. Astonishing that so many don't.

Right now, domestic and foreign investors are essentially selling America. They are selling its bonds, stocks and currency, and the outlook for all 3. They are perhaps also selling the leadership. Tariffs and Trump create new equilibria for US assets and markets now saythey're at a lower level.

A successful military is not about killing people, killing people is the byproduct of holding territory and routing armies and shattering hostile infrastructure. That Hesgeth does not understand this basic tenet reinforces he, like other Trump appointees, lacks the core skills for his role.

Markets are experiencing Stockholm Syndrome right now but at some point the real world will have to reckon with the fact that 10% universal tariffs plus 125% tariffs on China (and maybe the EU?) and sector tariffs on steel, aluminum, lumber, and pharmaceuticals are still a huge problem

China watchers: how likely is it that China will bend the knee tonight when they wake up to see Trump’s post? From my view, the world’s two largest economies are locked into a spiraling trade war and Trump just revealed hd’s vulnerable to market stress.

Unless I'm misunderstanding Trump's post, we still have 10 percent across the board tariffs and are in the midst of a trade war with China. That's not a good scenario for the US economy. Why is everyone acting like Trump just turned into Adam Smith?

The US is pausing tariffs on non-retaliating countries, while hiking China tariffs to prohibitive levels. China now has an off-ramp if it bends the knee and reverses retaliatory tariffs. But the US may also be admitting to growing discomfort over financial market stress, which China may exploit...
