I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

President Donald Trump’s shake-up of the global trading system is hurting US assets more than those in many of the big economies he has just slapped with additional tariffs

Be especially careful what you click on/read today. That being said the curmudgeon in me is way past tired of this day being used as a marketing opportunity by corporations. This trend died in the early 2010's. Stop making shitty parody videos about growing your nylon tote bags on a tree.

FDR once bragged to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that the richest people in the nation hated him and “I welcome their hatred.” Just weeks later, he was re-elected with 61% of the vote in a 523-8 blowout in the Electoral College. Voters like politicians who make the right enemies.

This is why throughout history once a superpower/hegemon cedes that position they very rarely get it back without a lot of time passing. And their domestic politics become fatally toxic while they try to get it back or maintain the fantasy that they didn’t lose it.

Elon Musk's maternal grandparents relocated from Canada to South Africa in the early 1900s, where they were in the German Nazi Party. They supported Hitler and then went to South Africa, a stronghold of support for Nazism outside of Germany. Musk was an anti-semite and an apartheid lover.

1. The DOGE website is garbage. The claimed savings has no relationship to the data provided. And the data that is provided grossly inflates the savings from each canceled contract. So we just launched our own site — the Musk Watch DOGE Tracker — that breaks everything down.

Before the U.S. plunges itself deeper into debt over Trump's planned tax cuts, it's worth noting that as recently as the 1990s, America had a balanced budget. Our tax system was designed for revenues to grow along with the U.S. economy. But that's no longer the case. So how did the country get here?

NEW: Multiple reports of Russian missiles pouring into Ukraine tonight, targeting civilians. The US has shut off the intelligence Ukraine needs to protect itself. This hotel in the southern city of Kryvyi Rih took a direct hit. Trump has the blood on his hands of every Ukrainian casualty tonight.

At this point countries should consider banning Musk products and sanctioning him outright like he’s a Russian oligarch. Nothing better you could do for the pro-constitutional forces in the US than helping economically annihilate this man

Here's the latest on the rapidly failing attempt to shutter the CFPB, with Russ Vought gaslighting employees into thinking he wants the agency to work well, and his subordinates being caught in lies in federal court. The hearing happening now is going badly for Vought. prospect.org/economy/2025...

I can't watch the full video of what happened yesterday. To watch a hero of his people and a man of honor get ratfucked by two of the biggest pieces of shit to draw breath makes me sick. I've been around for a while and thought I couldn't be surprised by it anymore. I'm embarrassed.

Economic Blackout isn't hard when you barely leave the house, have limited extra cashflow, and only buy essentials, because you're trying to survive. Wish more people stopped shaming someone for buying needed items from a store that is close to them, because it's the only one available.
