Most people don't care or understand. Foreign countries selling US treasuries puts out entire financial system at risk... and if selling is fast (as in dumping) like earlier in the week, it can cause bank closures and other serious problems. Both Japan and China have huge supply of US treasuries

Horrifying, but this is beginning to look more and more likely.

Where are the democrats on Sunday morning talk shows. Or maybe the strategy is to let the Trump cabinet do the shows so the stupidity of these very stupid people is in full view. And we get comedy on Sunday morning.

Impressive. Everything down nearly 5% at open. Btc down over 6% to below 80k. For those that remember the Thursday/ Friday down then followed by the Monday CRASH.... that's what we want to watch for today.

As if that kind of work is work that people want....for minimum wage even. Maybe if Lutnick and others who would tout this would sign up to do it, maybe they could get others to follow and drink the koolaid.

If South Korea can do this, we can surely impeach Trump for not "faithfully executing the law"..

All markets went off a cliff....while I was out. I guess the Bozzo timed his rose garden 10+ tarrif announcement to the opening of the overnight markets.

The Cherry Blossoms in DC are particularly magnificent this year. I'm waiting for his highness to claim both credit and that they are so magnificent in his honor.

Trump is trying to change the conversation from tariffs, the economy, and the Hegseth scandal. Any conversation about him running for a 3rd term is still 2 years away. He is trying to distract and get the media off of the headlines currently dominating the news cycle. Don't take the bait.

Monday morning, overnight trading, Asia and Europe mainly. They are voting by pushing stock futures prices down. S&P 500 down over 1% to new year's low. Everything down also. So the investment community is negative. And this effects IRAs and K1s.

Tonight (Sunday) the various stock market futures are all down. Most nearly at their low for the year. Effect of tariffs? Iran threat? Rudderless executive branch? Or... take you pick.. but the markets continue to vote no-confidence

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

Trump is trying to strip the bargaining rights of roughly 1 million unionized federal workers. He claims it's a matter of "national security." Rubbish. Organized labor is standing up to Trump's authoritarian power grab. Tyrants will do anything to crush dissent.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5. This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.
