The morning after the election, I had a panicked thought: “My threat model is wrong.” I’d been giving privacy advice for years, but my counsel would not protect against an authoritarian president seeking revenge against political enemies. Tyranny was going to require a new threat model.

The fear among academics and lawyers now talking on the record on just about any topic that involves the federal government or the White House is really extraordinary and worrisome, and getting worse, it seems to me, every week. Dissent by an establishment figures becoming verboten in the US

JFC. WE ARE STILL WORSE OFF. We still have at least 10% global tariffs. Businesses can’t make decisions, as they don’t know what tariffs will be 90 days from now I usually say Trump is great at repackaging the status quo as victory but this is significantly worse than pre-Liberation Day status quo

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand. You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

Ok what’s going on here? Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down. Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset. Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it. Means the world may be abandoning America. We are flirting with a true crisis.

With recession fears rising, it’s wild and terrifying that bond prices are falling. Three months ago, Trump inherited the world’s reserve currency, the world’s safest and most trusted asset, and the world’s deepest, best regulated capital markets. All of that is now at risk.
