This one of the most insane contracts of the offseason the minute it happened. End Loomis' reign of terror on this poor fanbase
Saints WR Brandin Cooks, who was a possible trade target before the deadline, had been released, sources say. The two sides agreed on this, and now heads to waivers.

Ok what’s going on here?
Yields are going up which means bond prices are going down.
Fewer buyers of the world’s safest asset.
Normally when the economy slows, there’s a flight to safety, not away from it.
Means the world may be abandoning America.

New polls are awful for Trump:
AP: Only 38% approve of his handling of trade
Fox: 56% disapprove of his handling of economy. 69% say tariffs will make goods pricier

This is so incredibly stupid. The United States is not like a household. It cannot go bankrupt.
Elon Musk reiterated his intention to destroy programs like Social Security, which he has called a Ponzi scheme:
