Warren: Whenever there’s a crisis anywhere in the world—terrible things happen—and investors, you know what they do? Investors go to the United States government treasuries, because damn, it just doesn’t get any safer than that. Except with Donald Trump as president.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Sorry, America. We can pay cancer research teams or we can pay to fly Trump and his entourage to a UFC fight in Miami. We can’t afford both.

Savings accounts, pensions, working class 401ks, all of these have been decimated by Trump. He is building policy off the crackpot ideas of one disgraced economist, Peter Navarro, and we are all paying the price. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social here: t.co/CfwAJVZWOt

Opinion: Emerging markets are often characterised by uncertain economics, corrupt politics, institutions that are too weak to enforce democratic norms, violence and social polarisation. The US has been heading in that direction since 2016 www.ft.com/content/e7a0...

Reminder that Trump: -outsourced his own manufacturing to Mexico/China -hired undocumented workers in 2 different centuries -won’t go after Americans who hire undocumented ppl -is himself an 'illegal' via edu fraud & felony convictions ...so believing what he says on immigration is actually dumb.

Me, June 6, 2024: “Conway envisioned [that if reelected] Trump would ‘try to violate every law,’ [and] predicted to host Ronny Chieng … ‘You’re gonna see capital flow, both human and financial, like we’ve never seen from the U.S. before.’”

"Trump cannot assuage the bond market. He cannot convince it that he is 'normal' and should be given the benefit of the doubt. He cannot scare it into submission. He cannot bribe it. The bond market is not like the Supreme Court or Paul Weiss or Columbia."

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.

"It was the worst type of magical thinking to imagine Trump would have any serious constraints in a second term ... If his voters believed he wouldn’t be stupid and malevolent enough to obliterate the economy for no good reason, they simply didn’t pay attention to his first term or 2024 campaign."
