DAN GREENHAUS, on the Moody’s downgrade: “.. The U.S. is running gigantic, peacetime deficits unlike anything we’ve seen in our lifetimes. As a result, .. in ten years’ time we’ll have $20 trillion more debt and that’s assuming nothing goes ‘wrong’ between now and then.”

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

The grift comes full circle. Musk took a $465M government loan to build Tesla—now he’s using DOGE to kill off the very office that helped him succeed—because it might help the next innovator, not him. This isn’t “efficiency.” It’s sabotage!

📌Coming off the terrible pandemic that killed millions, America's economy was the strongest in the world. It wasn't great, but was improving. That's no fairy tale. It took just 100 days for Trump to fuck that all up. That's no fairy tale, either.

Consistent with my maintained belief that ~20-30% of any democratic polity will support far right authoritarians no matter what. The only question is whether a country has such egregiously anti-majoritarian political institutions that allow that minority full access to power to do a fascism.

REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies? LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

No. Absolutely not‼️ This is exactly what shouldn’t happen. Farmers don’t get a bailout this time. Especially if they helped put Trump in office — they can suffer right along with the rest of us losing our businesses and livelihoods. Trump needs to stop this tariff madness—instead of bailouts.
