This is fabulous, quality television from this era has a nebulous feeling which I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe a tightness in all the choices made, that everyone working on the programme it took pride and felt responsible for making the best film they could. youtu.be/LkgNP5GWE-k?...

Wonder if they'll create a pit of Sarlaac on the outside to which dissenters will be plunged and devoured for a 1000 years.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

The way Bukele was treated in the oval vs. Zelenskyy is all you need to know.

Trump signed a memo going after Chris Krebs. Krebs in 2020 pushed back against Trump’s claims that the election had been fraudulent and was adamant that the nation’s elections were not compromised. He did a wonderful job. The president, he’s evil.

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Susman Godfrey, Chris Krebs, Miles Taylor, the president is openly targeting his political enemies with what his party once projected and called ‘lawfare’. It’s openly authoritarian. And we can’t say we weren’t warned. This is what fascism looks like.

I want to know what trades were made by members of the Trump Administration before these unhinged tariff moves? Who, if anyone, shorted stocks before the tariffs were first announced? Who bought back into the market before this pause was announced? Who is profiting from this?

If I wanted to help the Chinese economy, arguably the best thing I could do was decouple the US economy from the rest of the world, put up crippling US trade barriers, destroy the US reputation for business sense and cooperation, and force US allies to do more trade with China.

trashing america’s reputational capital will undermine any benefits from tariffs/dealmaking.

Would be especially convenient if the ground gets a bit hot under the administration's feet.

How long until the executive order that forces Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft to supply a real time feed of all user activity? Palantir AI will use it to monitor inconvenient dissent. Peter Thiel, the grand vizier, has been staging the state of things for a long time.
