As predicted on @pivotpod.bsky.social

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork. Gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

Incompetence www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

Who’s gonna tell this clown the news?

What are the odds that to spin his heinous fuckup into a faux victory tv moment that the Salvadoran president will bring back the man Trump sent to prison there without cause www.thedailybeast.com//trump-doj-f...

The oligarch playbook

"It's like being on the helicopter out of Saigon...You're either on the helicopter or you're not, & if you're not, you’re screwed" After @profgalloway.com's spot-on prediction, @karaswisher.bsky.social breaks down what the exemption really means for Apple and, & why others are not out of the woods.

@profgalloway.com called it... After Scott predicted no tariffs on Apple products on our Friday episode, President Trump just gave an exemption to smartphones, computers, and other electronics. What prediction will come true next? Tune in next week...

Decent and certainly qualified picks for board seats — also politically astute when it come to Powell — and a sharp contrast to the fetid Dana White www.axios.com/2025/04/11/e...

Whatever it takes I guess

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

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

The dollar crashing is great news for all of us Brits who've found the US unaffordable since Brexit, except when we try to visit we're going to be turned away at the border because we liked a tweet saying slavery was bad

Overpromising and underdelivering www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Sanity prevails. We’ll see if they do what the courts say.

BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds district court order that the Trump administration "facilitate" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was improperly sent to El Salvador. More to come at Law Dork: www.lawdork.com

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

JUST IN: Trump must face defamation lawsuit from 'Central Park Five' defendants reut.rs/4j3QVm5

This Scott is delusional. Amirite, @profgalloway.com?

This is the present I got from @profgalloway.com

It was the bonds and not any alleged Trump plan — he got spooked and rightly so www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Last week, Trump’s tariffs made me a man. This week, his backdown made me a woman. Tell me again that gender fluidity isn’t becoming a problem. by Jesse Watters

Their name? George … George Glass

"She's a supermodel but she lives in Canada."

I am now hating on tick-tocks that newspapers always like to do because it makes it seem like this red-light-green-light incompetence on tariffs is just how it’s done and without making the obvious conclusion that the White House is crawling with clowns: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

This is the action of a stupider version of Putin. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor are patriots who told the truth www.c-span.org/video/?c5160...

The opportunity for insider trading and deep corruption with this gyrating nonsense is vast, as the massive stupidity and unquenchable greed of Trump and his minions competes for dominance. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Bingo

Who is this astonishing suck up

It is a question of that

Like clockwork. He is a chaos monkey throwing feces.

Every time.

I heart @brooke — telling a suicide bomber who blew up the economy due for no reason that he is brilliant is peak beta chode for Ackman.

Here’s a bunch of times over the past few days that Trump and his team told us they absolutely, positively weren’t going to pause their tariffs. Total climbdown.

Not sure we have much credibility these days to object: www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Quick, everyone: Be UNCOOL.

seems like someone might be panican
