Democrats predicting Republicans are going to break away from Trump soon is the intellectual equivalent of Republicans talking about how next week will be infrastructure week. Some things are just never going to happen.

@asharangappa.bsky.social -Everyone knows you store classified documents in the *bathroom*, not the *ballroom*.
Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?
Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

Yup. It’s a bubble and the Fed is just adding air to it. Worse yet is that when it pops we’ll have already lowered rates, inflation will still be above target, and unemployment will continue to rise. We had stuck a soft landing, then a bunch of idiots elected Trump.

Totally agree with @chrisgeidner.bsky.social here. I’ve been writing about Trump’s illegal actions with TikTok for months now but most media keeps acting like everything is above board. It isn’t.
I repeat: This is WILDLY illegal.
Trump is just outright, explicitly, egregiously ignoring the law.
The fact that NONE of these words in the Times post say so is a failure of journalism.

For the fourth time, President Trump extended the deadline for when TikTok had to be separated from its Chinese owner, ByteDance, or face a ban in the U.S. Officials have said they are nearing a deal to address national security concerns about the company and its ties to China.

Which, if we don’t stop this collapse, we will see the bottom fall out entirely and slip into the abyss of authoritarianism.
We are in very dark times. It’ll take an entire political/social movement, an overwhelming rebuke at the polls, and a new vision of governance to unstick this country from whatever this collapse is.

Call it fascism - he’s militarizing our fucking cities, folks. He’s creating a massive federal police apparatus to round up “undesirable” immigrants & building camps to house people. What the fuck are you waiting for in holding back on calling this what is obviously is?

We have to consider how broadly an unrealized CG tax would be implemented before asserting the economic effects it will have. Most proposals here only target a *very* small number of individuals, I think that is something important @mcuban.bsky.social is glossing over.
Taxing unrealized capital gains destroys investment. People have to sell their assets to pay it, reducing capital available for investment and the incentive to invest.
Trump has only taken equity or a “commission” when the company benefited from government actions. Doesn’t impact investment

Do you think that there are any structural differences between the US government owning equity in the biggest corporations vs. taxing unrealized capital gains? Does one incentivize investment more than others?
