Politically I am either liberal or moderate, depending on how much people on the far left are pissing me off on any particular day. As a member of Generation X, I try to live by the words of E.T. and Bill & Ted: "Be good" and "Be excellent to each other".

He can bully universities. He can make big law firms cower. He can bring Republicans in Congress to their knees. But he can’t do shit to the investors worldwide that are turning their backs on the US and dumping our bonds.

Last year, the EU and its Member States supported Ukraine with €20 billion. This year, over €23 billion have been committed. We are already doing more — and we can go even further. My doorstep ahead of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group at NATO ↓

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Trump’s chances of uniting developed nations into a solid front against China’s unfair trade practices is zero now. He has done nothing but chase other countries into China’s loving arms. Trump is the new world bad guy to countries that used to be our friends.

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work! Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.
