Trumpnomics! The S&P and Nasdaq are both negative for the year. Thanks, Don!

Weindling being terrifying The economic destruction Trump and Musk are creating is bound to lead to slowing growth, and the chaos in the bond markets proves that a full-blown recession driven entirely by Musk and Trump’s policies is smart money’s biggest concern... www.splinter.com/yield-curve-...

Trumponomics keeps on failing. I'm afraid that it's about to get a lot worse when the jobs and inflation numbers hit and worse still when our trading partners drop a load of punitive tariffs on us.

Jalolpnik! Polestar is taking advantage of Tesla's tanking reputation by offering special deals for conquest customers. The Swedish EV brand is giving Tesla owners up to $20,000 off if they switch into a Polestar 3 that's way cooler than any Tesla. Read More: www.jalopnik.com/1799883/pole...

Hey! Remember when Fiat Chrysler, General Motors, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki, and Toyota joined the trump suit against California's Clean Air Act waiver (the waiver is literally in the law's text)? Fuck them.

Did not see Ruben Gallego @gallego.senate.gov morphing into Sinema, and yet here we are. After giving him money every month for yeeeears, I'm finished with him. He's having a tele town hall at 5:30 Arizona time. To join, just call 855-274-3987 at that time.

Republicans want to kill your meemaw. Act accordingly. "Republicans... are preparing to impose savage cuts on a program that has literally been a lifeline for many..., in order to help offset the cost of huge tax cuts for high-income Americans" paulkrugman.substack.com/p/cruel-and-...

Ruben Gallego is having a tele town hall tomorrow. I know there’s a lot going on in Washington, so I’m holding a town hall tomorrow, February 27th, at 5:30 Arizona time to update you on my first two months in office and answer your questions. To join, just call 855-274-3987 at that time.

EV sales in Europe: up 38% Tesla sales in Europe: down 45.2% Breathe it in folks, breathe it innnnnnnnnnnnn www.reuters.com/business/aut...

I see Gallego is still furiously bipartisaning. He is a worthless git. Kelly, too, but I had much lower expectations of him.

Sales of fully electric car in Europe were up 37% in January, while Tesla sales fell 45%. Declining sales of petrol and diesel vehicles outpaced EV growth, leaving overall sales down by 2%. www.reuters.com/business/aut... 🔌💡 🔌🚗 🇪🇺

"Almost all democrats claim they have no power to stop this, because, without control of any branch of government, they say they have no ‘lever.’ I say hogwash to that—we, you and I, are the lever." The indispensable Chris Jones. riverraccoon.substack.com/p/stray-dogm...

Is this Trumponomics or Muskonomics?

So excite! Will stream live April 19! "Leipheimer aims to 'restore the road racing scene in the United States' by pairing a scenic, mass-participation event with a world-class professional race that is 'challenging, equitable and exciting to watch.'" www.cyclingweekly.com/news/watch-a...

Donald Trump, where pathological lying meets blithering idiocy, explaining why Ukraine isn't invited to truce discussions. "Well, they've had a seat for three years and a long time before that. This could have been settled very easily. You should have never started it. You could have made a deal."

Krugman spitting bible truth about Shitler and Ukraine: Donald Trump’s proposal to Ukraine... was both depraved and stupid... Trump apparently thinks that America’s past aid... entitles us to strip Ukraine of its wealth. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-belgian-...

Fuck that overcooked, deflating soufflé Phillips O'Brien: In an evening press conference, Trump went full-Putin and blamed the Ukrainians for the war and made it clear that he had deliberately excluded them from the negotiations. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/the-us-has...

Andrew Dessler spitting power grid truth. "[A]s you add renewable energy to the grid, it pushes the most expensive generators off the generator stack, eventually causing them to run so few hours that they shut down. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/no-renewab...

I got two bids to put solar on my new farmhouse. Neither had any cost or fee breakout. No panel, inverter prices, or racking prices, no labor, permitting, or engineering costs. How can an industry this mature still be playing hide the ball? And, who enforces the practice? #energysky #greensky

Hahahhhahaha Tesla sales dropped around 13 percent across Europe in 2024... [This year] in France, sales of new Teslas fell by 63 percent, while total car sales in the country fell by just 6 percent, with EV sales dropping just half a percent. arstechnica.com/cars/2025/02...

Ruben @gallego.senate.gov Gallego is the John Fetterman of Kyrsten Sinemas.

"The Democrats who voted for Wright include ...Michael Bennett; both New Mexico Senators, Ben Ray Luján and Martin Heinrich; and Arizona’s Ruben Gallego." www.splinter.com/these-seven-... So fucking ashamed of @gallego.senate.gov

Market has been open five minutes and I'm down 1.34%. Thought it would be worse. Market must believe Trump will cave. Market overestimates his smarts and sanity,

An hour before the open and things look grim in the stock market. Trump intends this. Bet his cronies went to cash Friday.

Trump market, everybody!

I don't know who needs to hear this but, why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?
