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.

This is why I’ve been saying Iran is what concerns me the most right now. There have been credible signs of Iran accelerating their uranium enrichment in recent months, and today it was confirmed by the IAEA. Going to be harder to hold Israel back now. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong. What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.
