In this political environment the winning Democratic campaign message is Donald Trump. It's not about whether or not a candidate moderates or is a progressive. If someone is willing to do the hard work of running for office get out of the kitchen with your nonsense and let them cook

I did not realize Cracker Barrel (despite restoring old-guy logo) went ahead and modernized its restaurants. Also didn't realize the old decor was...raccoon traps:

Good piece on how Trump’s DC surge is where crime isn’t, and isn’t where crime is👇👇
fwiw, Jim, I did the opposite piece -- spent a day walking across Anacostia and Hillsdale, where added law enforcement would generally be welcomed...but was nowhere to be seen (gift link): www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Sports, money, egos, betrayal, cutthroat business drama -- somebody should option this article for a movie or limited series stat!
Two baseball agents were poached for a combined $25 million. The problem: they were already under contract.

Massive punishment followed. A 70-page ruling—meant to be confidential—reveals incredible detail of the agent world.

This is an astoundingly good interview. The LA Port Director explains very clearly how profoundly trade is coming to a screeching halt. This summer will be tough.

On his 100th day in office in 2017 Trump headed to a PA wheelbarrow factory to launch his trade policy and put the US on the path to today’s tariffs.

Eight years on that factory is closed. The wheelbarrows are now made in China.

My latest for @bloomberg.com:
