It turns out that while a prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a sandwich, it’s a lot harder to indict someone for throwing one

Now that we’ve gotten a chance to celebrate Carney’s win and Poilievre losing his seat, I did want to draw attention to some trends that still worry me.
To start, here are the percentage point changes in the Conservative vote share in some ridings that caught my eye:

Two weeks after Liberation Day, there's been appreciable (but still not enough) movement against Trump among the general public. His net approval rating in polls conducted since April 3 is -6.5 percentage points, down four points compared to March.
Bookmark the figure -3 in your brain: that's where Trump's net approval rating was on April 3, 2025. We'll see in a week or two what people think after the tariffs have had time to sink in.

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

I want to note again how completely insane you have to be for your goal to be a “bilateral trade balance of zero” with every country. Just nutso.

CNN just did a horrible explanation of where the tariff numbers came from. Rightly notes that there are non-tariff trade barriers, but just accepts the dumb assumption that any trade deficit is due to “cheating”. And then they bring Peter Navarro in to explain admin’s view.

Trump’s “well established methodology” for calculating the tariffs is extremely dumb. The reasoning that all of our trade deficit must be due to other countries scamming us is basically unchanged from his 2020 reasoning that any change in the vote from 2016 must have been due to voter fraud

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.
He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.
