Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Commerce Sec Lutnick promised Chinese jobs "screwing in little, little screws to make iPhones” would be moved here. Treasury Sec Bessent said American dream was not cheap "flatscreens" And yet here we are: first China tariff exemptions are for iPhones & flatscreens www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/t...

You gotta pay attention, but this is really good. h/t @neilirwin.bsky.social “Any country other than the US precipitously raising and lowering tariffs, gutting its Internal Revenue Service and nonchalantly considering territorial grabs would have seen smoking-hot capital flight months ago.”

Oh how shocked I am to find out Howard Lutnick lied to me and we won't actually be making iPhones in America! Think of that! Howard Lutnick! Just going on TV and lying. What ARE the chances?

Trump exempting computers & phones from the tariffs today means that Chinese-made laptops now have lower tariffs than European Cars, Mexican Steel, & Canadian Lumber. Also means Vietnamese-made laptops have a lower tariff than Ethiopian coffee, Indian tea, & Guatemalan bananas

There are a lot of ways to explain why rising bond yields in this economic environment, but if you don't know anything about economics, think of it as your father talking about a sudden, strange ache in his left shoulder during Thanksgiving.

Happy to help. Nothing happened. Everyone pretended like it didn't happen. It's almost entirely gone. Horizon World somehow exists. $45bn basically disappeared into a black hole owed to "lack of a clear vision and mismanagement." Who knows what happened! finance.yahoo.com/news/metas-r...

Honestly I just hate how angry I am these days. It's totally justifiable--these people are fucking monsters (and I'm certainly not policing anyone else's anger). But I hate it, I hate that feeling. I've spent so much of my life trying to get rid of anger. It's awful to be living with it again.

One weird thing about all of these awesome federal programs getting gutted out of existence is that I now know they used to exist. That’s sort of nice, I guess. It’s like learning about an animal that went extinct last Tuesday.

even if we throw these people out of power the enduring legacy of Trump is that nobody can ever again trust the US government to keep a promise, and that will come back to bite us over and over again what a shameful thing this is

An old man with medals is talking about how the "Russian peace" must be defended. But in three years of full-scale war, the Russians have launched 67,000 guided aerial bombs at Ukraine, thousands of missiles of various types, and over 22,000 Shahed drones. What does Russian peace protect?

Dr. Peter Marks, recently pushed out of FDA, told us he believes the measles outbreak is being underreported. He says the case count is likely 3-7x higher, saying we could actually have as many as 3,000 cases. Yesterday, Sec'y Kennedy said we had 600+ cases and the outbreak was under control.
