When you don’t have a deal, but you announce a deal anyway, granting your pissed off counterparty additional leverage because it becomes even harder for you to credibly walk away from the table, that’s the art of the deal.

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

Very narrowly lost the vote on this. This was a chance for the Senate to put American businesses, farmers, workers and producers first. Most Republicans chose Trump. I’m not done, I will keep at this until we repeal Trump’s disastrous tariffs.

So, we are really supposed to believe the way out of the tariff debacle is Trump negotiating new individual trade deals with hundreds of incredibly pissed off countries simultaneously? Truly, how f--ling insane is that? THIS IS THE PLAN??????

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Open letter by 700+ Jewish faculty in US on Trump's Columbia funding cuts, supposedly against antisemitism: "Not on our behalf. Harming US Universities does not protect Jewish people. Cutting funding for research does not protect Jewish people. Punishing researchers does not protect Jewish people."

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Gov Hochul can fire the mayor. She should have done so when the scope and scale of his cascading congenital corruption career was laid out in federal indictments. She waited for him to go to trial. Now that injustice has taken its course she is the only reason he remains in office. Step up Hochul.

Weird things happen when complex games get "solved." (cf. baseball, basketball) Trump's attention is perfectly solved problem at this point. Everybody knows he's a sucker for adulation and soft bribes. "What does 4 ys of policy look like in a 'solved' White House?" seems like an important Q.

Baseball note: For the manyth year in a row, the best media spending I did in 2024 was Joe Sheehan's newsletter. If you spend time thinking about baseball, you can't do better. Hoping, but not expecting, @sheehannewsletter.bsky.social to spend some time here in 2025, but regardless he's worth the $.

I wrote about crypto. The knock has been that the technology has few use cases. But, post-election I think crypto's legacy is clearer. Its killer app is creating a money/influence flywheel for a specific type of reactionary anti-institutionalist to influence politics. It's gonna get weird (gift)

@dkthomp.bsky.social I know this article speaks to my priors, but it did feel like there was context missing from your discussion of 'Chokepoint 2.0' and whether it actually even exists. There've always been heavy banking regs around crypto (and I'm in the industry). www.nytimes.com/2024/12/10/t...

It is imperative that DOJ dismiss all of its pending voting rights cases and withdraw from those in which it has intervened. The Biden administration should not hand over cases in which Dhillon can have DOJ switch sides and undermine voting rights. We are on our own from here.
