Less than 15 minutes before pausing most tariffs on April 9, Trump posted “GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” Markets surged—Dow jumped 6%, its largest gain since 2020. With China tariffs hiked to 125% and personal holdings in DJT, the move drew SEC scrutiny for potential manipulation.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune. It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. We must overturn Citizens United. Every day, it corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy.

Private equity firms have reportedly flooded the airplane maintenance industry over the last five years. These are the same shady investors who have fueled the housing crisis and strip-mined our healthcare system. What could go possibly go wrong?

Highly recommend the latest dac.dk/en/lets-talk-architecture/ (by @amichaelbooth.bsky.social). Covers House Europe’s campaign to switch from demolition to renovation. Love the idea of ‘embodied culture’; the social value of buildings, which help us understand places, but is lost when demolished.

Last weekend, the so-called “Tesla Shield” came out to defend Elon Musk’s car company after weeks of “Tesla Takedown” protests. Guess who that group included? Proud Boys, armed militias, and at one event in Idaho, a guy dressed as Hitler.

Head Start, the early child care program launched six decades ago as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson’s “war on poverty,” has historically had support from both sides of the aisle and helped more than 40 million children. Now, Project 2025 calls for eliminating the Head Start program altogether.

It would be helpful if news media would pursue what is the obvious question at the heart of all of this: given the hundreds of millions who stand to lose in the United States alone, who is actually benefiting from these maneuvers, and how?
