Breakingviews - Jamie Dimon puts JPMorgan in path of his own storm
The oft-gloomy boss of the largest US bank again warned that markets are blind to mounting risks. Yet a splashy deal for Apple's $23 bln credit card portfolio seems to lean into any danger to the consumer, just as the lender’s corporate dealmakers lag during an M&A revival.

Federal investigators assigned to the killing of Renee Good are looking into her possible connections to activist groups.
It's in line with the admin's strategy of deflecting blame toward opponents they describe as domestic terrorists — without providing evidence.

Well it says right there in the U.S. Constitution the government will shoot all nice citizens. Right?
Oh, wait - that was the Nazi Enabling Act for Hitler in 1933.
Since all the U.S. had was the appeasing Weimar Republic (Chamberlain types: Schumer, Jeffries, Garland, Biden), we're cooked.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.
the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.
