Mehmet Oz on US kids: "Give them real food... just give them food that comes out of the ground looking the way it looks when you eat it. Real food you can recognize... it's also your patriotic duty bc less than a quarter of kids are eligible for the military bc they've got underlying health issues."

Sometimes I'm surprised by the ideas I need to explain, but I'll still happily do it. Bankruptcy can work well when you're running a company, but it doesn't work when you're running a country.

The single most reliable economic fact of the Trump presidency is that when he raises tariffs, markets tank. When he backs off, they rise. This matters because markets are assessing the future profitability of American business and any tariffs benefits are downstream of boosting profitability.

“MAHA” is a cringey rebrand effort and a superficial one at that. The actual policies being pushed are directly counter to the stated intent of their 70 page report. Save yourself the read. Also 70 pages to tell us what we already know…let’s save the trees too. @msnbc.com

FED WATCH: In the first year of Trump 1.0, “the focus was solely on the tax cut,” with the VIX averaging 11.0. “.. In Trump 2.0, it is the exact opposite. Volatility is rising because rolling tax cuts are now seen as a risk to future growth, which could cause public debt to spiral uncontrollably.”
