JPM DESK: “.. tariffs are a net negative .. WHEN does this become fully apparent in the macro data. Our best guess is either July or August .. “.. if we get to the point that NFP is printing materially below 100k AND there is no change to the trade war rhetoric, this is a market that will crumble.”

Every place you see steel and aluminum is something that will go up in price from Trump’s new tariffs. Like soup cans.

Earlier, I made a post about the effects of federal cuts to NOAA/NWS & took a lot of heat for it. Out of an abundance of caution, I deleted the post. And yet here we are - watching this meteorologist confirming what I said:

Many in Virginia's Culpeper County are unhappy with the president's pardon of a sheriff convicted of bribery. Trump called him a victim "persecuted by the Radical left monsters and left for dead."

Russian attacks across Ukraine last night, targeting civilian population centers. Ken Harbaugh, in Odessa for VALOR and @meidastouch.com, spent the night in a bomb shelter after shooting this clip. The whining sound you hear is not an air raid siren, but multiple Shahed drones. They were close.

I must wonder—as I’ve done for months but in vain—what were they thinking, that proclaiming that would make them immune? Please the leader? WTF‼️ Clearly lacking any brain 🧠

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

So damn proud of these kids for their courage. 💥 Hundreds of Milford, MA high schoolers walked out in protest today after ICE detained their classmate Marcelo Gomes Da Silva. Detained on his way to volleyball practice. Illegally. These students aren’t backing down—they’re rising up. #OnYourSide

Donald Trump sued me for racketeering, I won and did not back down. Donald Trump tried to have me investigated, I did not back down. Donald Trump named me in executive orders, I did not back down. If your lawyers are so afraid that they are cutting deals with Trump, you have the wrong lawyers.

Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.

"The Trump administration is a thugocracy, and the Republican Party he controls supports him each step of the way. Almost every principle to which Republicans once professed fealty has been jettisoned. The party is now devoted to the abuse of power and to vengeance."

No, no, no — you missed the story here. The Federalist Society is just wallpaper. The Koch political empire is the protagonist, and the likely deal is that in 2016 Kochs let up on Trump (whom they despised) to get to choose his SCOTUS nominees. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

I don’t believe that Elon’s 5 year old child gave him a black eye. But I do think it’s telling that Elon came up with a story where he was still the one directing his child to injure him. The excuse couldn’t even be a more believable accident. Elon has to be in control

Of all the things that didn’t happen, this didn’t happen the most. TACO Trump chickened out because bond yields went vertical and he was about to destroy the US economy - not China’s. China found other trading partners to help insulate from Trump’s insanity - we haven’t.
