From the Financial Times. China is right to worry about other countries imposing restrictions on its exports. There is quite a bit of concern around the world, and especially in advanced economies, that China will divert the goods it can no longer export to the US due to the… 1 of 2

Current portfolio I am exposed to the whims of the mad king. Market is pricing in a pretty dire scenario which on the ground currently is non existent. 6 months out I am sure it plays out but the fed is forced to intervene at that point. Riding the roller coaster now.

Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man. Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

From Craig Fuller: Domestic freight out of LA is at the weakest levels (seasonally adjusted) it has been since 2020. Up till now, the "Liberation day tariffs" have not been a factor in declining volumes out of S. Cal. It is going to get worse. #EconSky

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

If what the capitulating law firms told the NY Times is correct, then they are the most incompetent lawyers in America. It isn't possible that they thought that they made a deal with Donald Trump and he was getting nothing and it would not come back to bite them.
