Positive outcome from Supreme Court: The Government must facilitate the return of Maryland man wrongly sent to El Salvador prison. Sets up Judge Boasberg to order same for detainees sent in defiance of his orders. Good judicial confrontation with lawlessness.

“He blinked,” writes Pantheon Macro. But “we think that US exports to China will fall to near zero by Q3 .. “.. Accordingly, we are sticking with our forecast that GDP effectively stagnates over the remainder of this year.”

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.

Last night: "All of these countries are lining up to kiss my ass" [for relief from the tariffs] This morning: "This is a great time to buy stocks" This afternoon: "I had to do a pause because [everybody else] was getting squirrely about the markets dropping" Very stable genius.

Up 500 basis points in 4 days. Hard to know exactly what this is about, but maybe China actually has a few cards. They can just stop buying our debt.

I’m losing my mind here. USTR made a list of “Unfair trade practices” they’re retaliating against, complaint number 5 is that the EU cares too much about stopping illegal deforestation, complaint number 7 is that the South Americans are doing too much illegal deforestation

Sotomayor's dissent in the Tren de Aragua case decided today, citing the govt's argument in the Abrego-Garcia case, calls out the Trump regime for what it is: "History is no stranger to such lawless regimes, but this Nation’s system of laws is designed to prevent, not en- able, their rise.

Big question: How long will it take the Senate to take the keys from Grandpa. Ted Cruz seems to be slightly ahead of the pack in realizing that it doesn't matter if Trump has him primaried if whoever wins the GOP primary loses in the general.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.
