The financial economy is immersed in the kind of wild gambling we saw leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.
We’re seeing it all over again — this time with crypto, meme stocks, junk bonds, and investors pumping up shares of AI stocks without knowing what it is.
Be warned.

JD Vance called Sen. Alex Padilla “Jose Padilla.”
Not a slip. A tell.
Because in this administration, erasing identity is part of the script.
Mock the name, ignore the title, rewrite the story.
That’s not just disrespect, it’s how power signals who belongs and who doesn’t.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas?
LUTNICK: Generally 10%
DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%
LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff

Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa.
Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID

Chris Murphy is fabulously kind. 😍
"Everybody here has to decide how much energy they're going to put in to trying to fight for that world.
Because you were so bold & courageous, I bet everybody in this room is going to work a little bit harder to make the world you're asking us to believe in."

What happened to the emergency invoked because of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977 as stated by Trump when he put the tariffs in place? A 90-day pause in the middle of an emergency? The art of the lie - he is a master of BS.

Trump tariff levels are based on a basic error in math and economics which he will never admit to because the most important thing is never admitting you are wrong even if you end up destroying the economy
Trump tariffs based on massive error, conservative think tank says
The error over-inflates tariff rates by about a factor of four, AEI's economists say.

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.
