Hassett on new study from NY Fed showing 90% of tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms & consumers: "The paper is an embarrassment. It's I think the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Fed system. The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined."

Yeah, just IMAGINE. And in sex workers' case, the persecution is backed by the government, happens in real life rather than JUST on the internet, and is enshrined in law.
It's great being a reporter or anyone with a public-facing job and hearing DHS say, like, "imagine if tons of nutjobs hated you and posted your picture on the internet and said you should die in a tire fire just because of your work."
Posting about ICE on Instagram is now enough to get you an “administrative subpoena.” 👀

Chris Wright on seized Venezuelan oil: "We've sold about $1 billion of oil so far. We've recently signed agreements to sell about another $5 billion in the next several months. So you're talking well north of $10 billion a year ... this is way out of the box, groundbreaking Trump diplomacy."
