This is particularly wild if you think about what happened yesterday in the oval office
Trump: “To Leonard Leo, Koch, and all of the Countries and Slimeballs that have ripped off the United States of America for years through the use of their own Tariffs, we don't have a Court System that's going to let you destroy our Country any longer.”

Colleagues and I were just talking about this: The CTA holiday train is the purest experience of joy in the city. -No one- is so jaded that they don’t light up when they see it. Commuters get genuinely excited. People smile and laugh and text pictures to their friends. It’s a delight.
Non-Chicagoans don't realize how fun it is to see the Holiday Train pulling into the station. A little jolt of joy gives you a lift.
CTA Holiday Train!!!

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

A poem for your Saturday
Don't Hesitate
~ Mary Oliver
—If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate/It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins./Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty.

In what little is left of his authentic self, Trump is two things: A New Yorker, and an interior decorator. The only head of state he considers impressive is the Mayor of New York City, and the only thing he really feels pride in, is his interior decorating choices. Mamdani hit him in the heart.
"We have a great portrait of FDR that I found in the vaults that was missing for years. I found it and I put it up. He's a Democrat, to the best of my knowledge...
And when the mayor saw that portrait, he said, Sir, do you mind if I have a picture taken by that portrait?' It's an amazing portrait."
