Was in Sevilla Spain 🇪🇸 last week. At restaurant and this other couple next to us started making small talk. Then the lady asked us where we were from. I covered my mouth as to hide what I was saying “we are American. She mimics me and goes “we are Russian” Both laughing but enjoying our time* (1/2)

While encouraging my wife to upgrade her iPhone, I told her that I expected smartphones would be exempt from tariffs. Take away Americans' civil liberties and most accept it. But up the price of smartphones by 145% and there would be civil disobedience unprecedented in our history.

I started reading “Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young” by David Browne. On Page 44, I shouted “Oh my God!” several times. My wife said, “So it’s different than The Bangles biography that you just read.” I told her it sure is!

Would be an interesting book to read the behind-the-scenes story of The White House and tariffs over the past 7 days. Bob Woodward is probably writing it right now.

Now that the tariffs have been put "on pause" for 90 days, seems like I bought way too much stuff the past week. But at least I won’t have to go back to the supermarket until 2026.

I am going to read "Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: the wild, definitive saga of rock's greatest supergroup" by David Browne. Every time I see something an article about the group, it's always an interesting story!

Fascinating that under Biden the Dow went from 29,348.10 to 43,487.83 due to legislation like the Chips and Science Act and the Infrastructure law While it’s plunged to about 37,750 in the past week because of the Trump tariffs Yet MAGA claims it’s the Biden policies that are disastrous

In NYC mayoral race, will AOC help progressives beat Andrew Cuomo? via @gothamist.com "Although an endorsement from Ocasio-Cortez would not guarantee a victory, few have questioned the power she has to shake up the race. (1/2)

All I keep thinking about is that if/when Dems regain power, every action to restore normality or basic functioning of governmental institutions will be covered by the national press like it’s a controversial, partisan power play on par with a coup.

Yes, there will be another bailout for farmers who suffer because of Trump’s absurd trade war. But that will be only the beginning. paulwaldman.substack.com/p/who-gets-t...

Just had the pleasure to remember why I’m a big Bangles fan. When you get the chance, read “The Authorized Biography of The Bangles” by Jennifer Otter Bickerdike. @thebangles.bsky.social

The only consolation, for me, that The New York Yankees did not win The World Series is they did not have to go to The White House.

Paul Krugman and The New York Times parted ways last year. But he is one of the most prolific Substack writers. This is his latest.

Justin Wolfers perfectly explains the media's "both sides" narrative, even when it comes to the tariffs.

www.wired.com/story/welcom... Why are your allergies getting worse? Because of warming, pollen is now a nearly year-round menace in some parts of the US. Pollen, the main seasonal allergy trigger, is emerging earlier in the year, in higher concentrations, and lasting longer year after year.

Lawrence O’Donnell is back on MSNBC tonight at 10PM and he has something to say about Republicans in Congress. It is not complimentary.

I'm sure the LAST THING Marine Le Pen needs right now is an endorsement from Donald Trump. As if France is seeking advice from the American government. The only thing worse is if Elon Musk and his chainsaw post a video online in support.

“I looked at a ton of polling, it’s really hard to find any in which you find folks supporting new tariffs. Maybe against China, but against all other countries, especially our allies? No, no, no. Oppose, oppose, oppose,” CNN Data Chief Harry Enten said.

I remember how scared the business community was when Elizabeth Warren ran for President in 2020. Things would be a lot letter better now if she had won.
