I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Olivier Blanchard: The idea behind Mar a Lago Accord was to make US$ less attractive. No need for an accord anymore. The markets are doing it all on their own. (Yes, with a more likely recession, higher interest rates, and a higher likelihood of a fiscal crisis, but, hey, nothing is perfect…).

If you fill your military leadership with people who are either ignorant of the kinds of diverse literature purged here, ok with the purge, or, worse, excited by it… you are going to get a very specific kind of US military leadership and it does not resemble l the side that won the Civil War.

Why aren't more law firms concerned that they'll lose future clients, along with talented applicants, by folding in the face of govt threats? If they won't stand up for themselves, how can anyone think they'd stand up for clients? Even if they lack ethics or integrity, that seems bad for business.

Once not an issue, the fate of the us economy, the dollar and the bond market may now wrest on Congress taking away Trump’s power to tariff. You’ve got to keep the matches away from the kid.

You gotta pay attention, but this is really good. h/t @neilirwin.bsky.social “Any country other than the US precipitously raising and lowering tariffs, gutting its Internal Revenue Service and nonchalantly considering territorial grabs would have seen smoking-hot capital flight months ago.”
