At some point, incompetence and deliberate indifference to the law reaches a point where it is indistinguishable from deliberate misconduct. This is why you don’t hand a complex matter to someone who has never presented to a grand jury before.
A federal judge ORDERS the disclosure of James Comey's grand jury minutes to the defense, citing a "disturbing pattern pattern of profound investigative missteps" and casting doubt on Lindsey Halligan's declaration about the gap in the record.

So powerful
“I was 14… I was 16… this was me when I met Epstein… there are thousands of us… time to let the secrets out of the shadows”

Powerful ad from survivors ahead of a vote to tell us where each House rep stands on protecting kids vs protecting pedophiles.

Trump would only do this if:

a. He thinks he has it blocked in the Senate

b. He thinks he can withhold everything as part of an "ongoing investigation"

c. They're already altered / redacted the contents of the evidence enough to hide anything REALLY incriminating

In Reversal, Trump Says House Republicans Should Vote to Release Epstein Files

The president’s shift is an implicit acknowledgement that supporters of the measure have enough votes to pass it the House...It is a rare example of Trump backtracking because of opposition within the GOP.

Yeah, "Trump crashes the dollar" has haunted me more than "Trump launches the nukes" for the past 10 months, because I think the former is more likely to occur and the destruction will be multi-generational, probably unrecoverable.
The end of dollar hegemony will transform U.S. debt from a fiscal drag into a high-yield fusion bomb.

For decades dollarization has generated structural demand for U.S. treasuries, depressing the interest rates the U.S. needs to offer to service its debt.
one thing that I think we really don't think about is if Trump fucks up America's macro privileges or role in the international system and Americans are forced to end up dealing with a economic system that doesn't allow for the same old fiscal fixes as before

Perfect.
The Supreme Court made up the "major questions doctrine," under which the Court gets extra powers when things are a Big Deal and what's a Big Deal is up to the Justices.

Why not make up a new "signature policies" rule where a president can put things beyond the court's reach, like a franchise tag.
Bessent on tariffs: "This is one of President Trump's signature policies, and traditionally the Supreme Court does not interfere with a president's signature policy."

Chris Murphy: "He wouldn't be going through all of this effort to try to stop the release of these files if he wasn't seriously implicated in those files. This is most likely the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country. We know that b/c Trump is going to these extraordinary lengths"

I'm actually shocked. Good on Dana Bash for asking the question, and I genuinely would not have expected Greene to answer the way she did.
BASH: We have seen these attacks from the president at other people. It's not new. And I haven't heard you speak out about it until it was directed at you.

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: I think that's fair criticism. And I would like to say, humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.

My theory: the brontosaurus is very thin at one and much much thicker in the middle and very thin at the other end.

That is my theory and what it is too
KARL: Tariffs have been removed from some food items. How soon do we expect prices on those goods will go down?

HASSETT: The prices for those goods weren't necessarily going up just because of tariffs

KARL: So they might not go down?

I could be arguing in my spare time
KARL: To state the obvious, tariffs do raise prices on Americans despite what the president has said over and over again

HASSETT: It depends

KARL: The president claims that Thanksgiving costs are down 25%. Does he know that's not true?

HASSETT: Well if you look at Walmart--

KARL: Wait a minute. I've gotta stop you. The Walmart package this year contains much less than the one last year. That's why the price is less.
