Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

Part of the reason inflation hit the U.S. in the wake of COVID was because the supply chain was interrupted.
This is going to raise prices for working class people.
This is why these blanket tariffs were a bad move.

This 45 minute conversation with @hcrichardson.bsky.social took off. Glad people found it educational and hopeful.
We discuss the twin sins of America's greed and racism that led to the creation and ascent of Trump, and how we can find a way forward.
Hope it helps!

I want you to understand how unusual the moves were today.
Before Trump announced a pause, there was HUGE $QQQ volume on a 460C expiring 04/17.
They were bought for $0.85 and ran to as high as $31 per contract!!!
This was before any news.
Later in the day, it rallied 2000% in ten minutes.

Another garbage, unconstitutional executive order from the President. Now he claims that states can't set their own environmental laws, like California's carbon trading program, which by the way, has existed since... 2006.

Trump makes sweeping move to undercut state climate laws, including California's
'These State laws and policies are fundamentally irreconcilable with my Administration's objective to unleash American energy,' the president wrote. 'They should not stand.'

FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

This isn't The Art of the Deal.
It's insider trading with a bad comb-over.
Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires
Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast
Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’
Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same
Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.
