These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

We just got an email that Hopkins is freezing salaries, hiring, and some construction projects. In addition to the 800 million USAID we lost, we’ve had another 50 million in grants canceled so far. And a 2/3 year over year decline in funded grants despite an increase in submissions

The first step in policy analysis is figuring out what's going wrong. And by my view, we're facing two crises: A tariff crisis, and a crisis of confidence built upon fears incompetence.

Let me lay it out, wonk it out and math it out.

(I get a bit testy because I think this stuff really matters.)

Japan started selling US Bonds while they were talking with Trump about the tariffs.. This caused a run up in the bond yields (interest rate).. This FREAKED OUT the Treasury and made Trump pause the tariffs for fear of causing a Depression. Other Countries need to do this also ! 😆👍

The bond market is key to the U.S. economy...if this market crashes it takes the country with it. Far more dangerous than the stock market dumping.
