I've never been a Treasury secretary, so what would I know, but I reckon transparently lying about easily checked facts won't calm fears in the market, or the broader population.

and once again, if 100% of them had a criminal record it would still not justify shipping people to a third-party country to be locked in prison notorious for human rights abuses with the promise of never getting out

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Dear World, I’m an American. I apologize to you all that we put a thoroughly bad, cruel, ignorant madman back in the White House. Many, many Americans apologize. Don’t appease him, don’t coddle him. Stand up to him & punch back at his stupidity. Best, An Anti-Trump American

Every basis point (0.01%) costs US—you, me, your neighbors, your family, your friends—an additional $100 million a year in debt service. Trump is costing us BILLIONS of dollars in debt service payments that could go to healthcare, education, etc. OUR money. HIS folly.

👇🎯 We are having trouble using proper terminology because it requires us to fully accept exactly what has happened to our country & wrestle with the fact that every single one of our elected representatives in Congress is violating their oaths of office by not immediately impeaching & removing him.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Bond prices and yields moving opposite directions. Yields on US govt bonds [“treasuries”] are surging (ie the prices are falling). Prices are falling because people are selling treasuries at a massive clip.

The discourse around tariffs has been “things will get more expensive” but I am here to tell you that I am knee deep in reporting on this subject and I strongly suspect that if super high tariffs endure, it will shift to certain items cease to be available at any price

I don’t think we actually know how the modern economy works without a stable American dollar or a credible American economic infrastructure. It’s part of the global financial operating system, and it’s been permanently broken, with no substitute in place.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

At least 75% of the men Trump illegally deported to El Salvador have no criminal records. These men have been abducted and sent to a hell-hole Salvadoran “prison” that is the the equivalent of a torture-laden concentration camp. No due process. The Trump regime is paying El Salvador $6 million…

Well, firing "at least 10" top scientists at NIH is effective cost-cutting, right? For example, in Dr. Youle's case, Parkinson's only affects, uh...a million Americans (& rising), and only, um...roughly 90,000 new cases in the US are diagnosed every year. 🤷‍♀️ (/s) www.wired.com/story/doctor...
