"What did Trump think Epstein was 'stealing' these girls for? Epstein did not own a resort hotel. The answer is that he was recruiting them for his sex trafficking operation. The idea that Trump would have had any uncertainty on that point is absurd." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Goldman Sachs, Jan 21: "Despite Trump’s comments that the 25% tariff will be implemented in 10 days, we continue to believe the odds of a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico are low (20%)." Why have analysts been caught so flat-footed by Trump doing *exactly what he said he would*?

I'm normally very dovish, but even I admit that the case for a rate cut was pretty evenly balanced given recent data. And projections about future Fed policy are almost pointless: everything depends on whether Trump really does what he's been saying he will, in which case hard to see any cuts

So Elon Musk has endorsed Germany's AfD. I did Nazi that coming. OK, that's a lie. It was obviously where he was going. We can argue whether Trump fully fits the definition of a fascist, but Musk, who increasingly looks like the senior partner, isn't hiding it at all
