#TrumpDidThis

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a... Ohhhhhh China flexing more muscle. #econsky

Bonds worsening, 10Y touching 4.4%. I think that we are about to assist to a repeat of the bonds tantrum that generated the 90 days tariffs reprieve. After all, if it worked once... 4.5% is the first goal, but I guess they'll have to go further this time, by the law of diminishing returns. #EconSky

Krugman #econsky

"Whose idea was it to bring JD Vance here yesterday?"

OMG

Joe kernen needs to beg trump by name to stop destroying the economy and the dollar and the stock market #econsky

Could JD Vance please also pray for the good health of Vladimir Putin?

WELLS on $TSLA: “.. expectations are low after weak deliveries. Earnings results likely suffer from lower leverage on the very low volumes. We may get some razzle dazzle on Model 2, Cybercab, or Optimus to distract from fundamentals. We stay [underweight].” $130 target

“Zuckerberg sold 1.1 million shares worth $733 million…”

LOL at the chief economist at Apollo (>$750B in assets under management) inventing the term "Voluntary Trade Reset Recession" to avoid calling it what it is, the "Trump Recession." This isn't some rational economic plan with thoughtful tradeoffs, it's one dude's malice and incompetence.

AOC unseated a powerful incumbent Democrat in a primary and I think it worked out very well. Nobody owns their seat.

Dems like Newsom "are terrified to press Trump on any issues other than 'SCOREBOARD' ones—things like sagging markets and spiking prices, where they hope the facts are so self-evidently bad that they are absolved of the work of having to persuade."

(Bloomberg) - Insiders including Meta Platforms Inc.’s Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle Corp.’s Safra Catz and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Jamie Dimon cashed out shares worth billions of dollars before President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements roiled markets. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It can be true that both tariffs are bad and denying due process is also bad

trump’s trade policy sure seems politically fraught… www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?

WEDBUSH: “.. the Street does not care anymore about words and ‘deal progress’ comments. Investors care about one thing: deals starting to be inked. “.. The economic damage done from this Trump back and forth tariff plan has likely pushed the economy towards a recession path already ..”

In the late-19th century 50% of the labor force was in farming Now it's <2% Most of those jobs then went into manufacturing That's now at 2% We're a service-based economy now AI and robotics are going to make that even more apparent in the years ahead awealthofcommonsense.com/2025/04/the-...

The dollar’s performance since April Fool’s Day is a thing of beauty:

Mr. President, your line was “Happy Easter”

Trump friends bought market puts🤔

Sounds like Navarro is back in the oval.

Never change New York Times

Sen. Van Hollen and his meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is all over the news and social media. Joe Rogan is talking about the value of due process, wrongly denied to Abrego Garcia. Thankfully the “just poll, then do what’s already popular, never try to lead or shape opinion” crowd lost.

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

The US Constitution should go on Joe Rogan’s podcast

I know it’s old hat by now but if my dad did this we’d have an emergency call to the family that would almost certainly result in him being involuntarily hospitalized

I'd like to think Pope Francis came back from the brink of death solely to clown on JD Vance.

Page One in Cincinnati this wknd: Cincinnati.com

APOLLO: “It normally takes 18 months on average for the US to negotiate a trade deal. .. While markets wait for trade negotiations with 90 countries at the same time, global trade is grinding to a standstill .. if current policies do not change, then the probability of a US recession in 2025 is 90%”

Newsom getting dunked to hell by a guy who even serious politics knowers had in the “who?” category until last week, you love to see it

If you're unsatisfied with the Dem / progressive leaders we have now and want better ones, there are people working on doing exactly that who could use your support.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.
