“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.” - GS Desk/Pasquariello

Looking for a Republican who will actually put the Constitution first - not Trump? Meet Rep. Jeff Hurd (who chased Lauren Boebert across the state to a new district). His bill affirming congressional superiority of tariffs is a brave stance in the current GOP. coloradosun.com/2025/04/13/j...

The most important part of this article? That right-leaning think tanks like CATO and American Enterprise Institute are calling BS on Musk's claims. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

They need to point out that the Homeland Security chief strutted into that prison for a commercial … they can certainly get an innocent man out.

Damn right.

Oh, man. I’ve torn both ACLs. Get better fast, Bagel!!!

We are in a bad place.

💯- or the auto workers on MI … or steel workers in PA … or retirees who suddenly have slashed 401Ks in FL … or … or … or

💯- this odd horrific from a prosecutor.

Oh, the irony 😂—talk about paid protesters! MAGA has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk in Pennsylvania, alleging he failed to pay individuals who gathered signatures for a petition during the 2024 presidential campaign.

UPDATE: DOJ trying to cancel today's Abrego Garcia hearing and delay filing a response to the judge's order until next week. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

And wait until we see, on the other side of the ledger, higher borrowing costs (from decreased demand for Treasury securities) and decreased revenues (from laxer tax enforcement if not also tax cuts).

Elon Musk can't be trusted with rockets, drugs, video games, social media, or even his own children. He damn sure can't be trusted with your data.

People who put him there need to go to prison.

IN ONE HOUR: Trump is blatantly manipulating the market and @therickwilson.bsky.social and @mayaonstage.bsky.social are discussing it on an all new episode of The Breakdown at 7 PM ET. Tune in here: www.youtube.com/live/HgGBNV0...

I am putting this out there to bookmark it: The U.S. will invade Greenland or Panama or whatever in the next couple weeks as the market continues to crumble. It may be the only way to knock #TrumpCrash & #TrumpTariffs off the news cycle.

It has been noticeable, to me at least, that Elon Musk is being marginalized in the WH. Trump is holding a cabinet meeting today and Musk won't be there. He hasn't been around all week as far as I've been able to tell. It seems the Wisconsin election caused his star to fade.

OUT NOW: @therickwilson.bsky.social sits down with financial guru @ritholtz.bsky.social on the LP Podcast to discuss the tragic state of Trump’s economy, and where we might be headed. Watch the episode here: youtu.be/9B3q5-3vjtY?...

About once a decade, I really love Sen. Rand Paul. It is always a tough day for me.

Wow.

It is "The Fart of the Deal" people! #TrumpTariffs

You know who is the blame for all of this: BIDEN. President Joe Biden. If he had just used that immunity presidents enjoy to order Seal Team Six in ... but no. He had to be all moral and ethical and everything.

Just got this in an email from an American small business founded Lafayette, IN. And it is 🔥🔥🔥 BRAVO @cephalofair.bsky.social They make Gloomhaven & Frosthaven, two of the highest ranked board games ever (I both play and paint the minis). #TrumpTarriffs www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

THIS. This is what is going to happen. China could not be happier to engage in a trade with Trump and his #TrumpTariffs. They know it ends with them filling the vacuum. It also means, America will never recover. NEVER.

Donald J Trump ... DJT Dow Jones Tanking ... DJT It was there all along people! We just did not see the signs!!! #TrumpCrash

So many disasters distracting from this frontal assault on democracy.

If you touted "The Art of the Deal" and Trump being a financial genius yesterday during the #TrumpCrash temporary reversal, you are a part of the #Moronocracy.

As the DOW has already given away more than half the gains made yesterday, what does Trump do now? He cannot "pause" again on tariffs to uninhabited islands. He already crushed that canary. He would have to admit weakness with China, Mexico, or Canada. And I don't see that happening. #TrumpCrash
