Even more to the point, Treasuries usually rally even when the United States is the source of the downturn - see also: the financial crisis. That they’re not now is really bad
Normally, U.S. Treasuries rally (interest rates go down) in a market downturn, because they are seen as a safe harbor. The fact that this isn’t happening is a serious red flag.

NC Court of Appeals gives over 60,000 challenged voters 15 days to prove eligibility
The majority wrote that, even though they have the authority to completely throw out the contested ballots, they decided to instead mandate a cure period for most of the challenged voters.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job “because of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

What Krugman said
The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy.
Nonetheless, holy shit.
What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.
