I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Futures down another 3.5% across the board. I don't know that Americans fully grasp what is going on.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.
Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Trump’s approval is dropping. But it needs to be much lower. I argue Trump needs to be at a 32% approval rating to truly blunt his political efficacy. @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and I discuss how it can be done on today’s episode of Bulwark Sunday.
Bulwark on Sunday: The People Are The Only Solution to Trump
This week on Bulwark on Sunday, Bill Kristol and Sarah Longwell discuss how the people are the real solution to Trump and why the number 32 matters in the fight.

How a Major Democratic Law Firm Ended Up Bowing to Trump
Paul Weiss was targeted by an executive order from President Trump. Its chairman, who had worked against Mr. Trump during his first term, then went to the Oval Office and cut a deal.

The number of applicants to the nation’s nearly 200 law schools is up 20.5% compared with last year. Georgetown law alone received 14,000 applications to fill 650 spots, while the University of Michigan Law School now has more applications than at any point in its 166 years of existence.
The Competition to Get Into Law School Is Brutal This Year
Facing tough job prospects and a contentious political climate, many graduates are giving priority to pay and stability.

When Trump tries to postpone elections at some point one argument his people will make is, “But Zelensky postponed elections and you didn’t think that made him a dictator.”
Just get ready for that. It’s coming.

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and
offer them to small to medium size businesses.
Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations .
Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ?
