Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

I hope the myopic Wall Street twats who have been pushing the "Trump trade" all get laid off. This volatility is tricky, but I would much rather be met with reality, than the maddening experience of watching everything and (almost) everyone involved in the market ignoring the real world.
