One way to read stories based on leaked docs: look at time from being circulated to docs getting published — bc that’s the amount of time it took to a) get someone pissed enough to agree to leak and b) get enough also-pissed people to confirm. These are slides dated April 29-30, published May 1.

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

RFK Jr thinks autistic people are second class citizens who “never pay taxes”, “never hold a job”, are a burden on society and that vaccines cause autism so they should be banned. Incredibly destructive ideas for anyone to have, let alone the secretary of health and human services. Crazy times.

Oil prices are an interesting proxy for economic expectations and for some reason I find them more trustworthy than Wall Street. Oil traders really do not expect May to be a good month for the global economy

OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Connery is decent but overrated and his movies haven’t aged well. everyone thinks Moore is lame but his movies are by far the most fun. don’t watch the Dalton ones. Pierce Brosnan is Irish not English. two of Craig’s five are classics the others are eh.

Yes, it’s a bit hard to see now, but allowing the president to become a king who can kidnap citizens while also demolishing the global financial system is a small price to pay for getting to keeping 23 trans women from playing college sports.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

hi. I know the urge to doomscroll is incredibly strong right now because it helps distract from the crushing uncertainty and nonstop horrific news about the federal government and the economy, but you need to go to sleep and get enough rest for tomorrow. ♥️
