If Massachusetts doesn’t have a law like this, we should.

Consider it done. Let’s light up the white smoke.

So I hear JD Vance killed the Pope, huh?

First, this is the saddest, most impotent walk-back I’ve ever seen. Let’s get this out of the way. Second, there’s an important lesson here. This should show exactly how much this regime depends on its targets (and the rest of us) complying in advance. If we don’t, they fold.

Thou shalt march on Washington by the millions and not leave until the Mad King is deposed.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

What—and I cannot stress this enough—the fuck is wrong with 43% of voters?

Stealing from X for clout, but someone bought a staggering 25% of the *entire* open interest of a semiconductor ETF (which is 20% NVDA) in a single OTM put option yesterday and today. $3.7 billion of underlying stock, 8ish delta, $23 mil of premium, so levered 15:1 betting on the NVDA embargo news.

Just sitting here counting the minutes till my retirement money evaporates. Such a weird feeling.

We are living in the dumbest possible timeline. The dumbass imposed tariffs against penguins.

Jeffries: "One point that should have my Republican colleagues quaking in their boots. In the Florida 6th race, which was Trump +30 district, the margin was cut in half. There are 60 Republicans in the House who currently represent districts where Trump did worse than 15 or 16 points."

I feel myself turning into Steve Kornacki while obsessively refreshing the Wisconsin results but… … what’s most interesting right now is there are two statewide elections. The Supreme Court seat, of course, but also the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Aaand all the energy and hope I drew from @booker.senate.gov completely wiped out by the failure of every single dem in the room to object to unanimous consent. Smh.
