Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Do traders have Stockholm Syndrome? Rally today appears based on WSJ report that we might have "only" 50-65% tariff on Chinese goods.
That's still a huge effing tariff - roughly triple the average effective tariff rate on China last year. US companies still don't have margins to absorb this

The plan to prove that the most incompetent White men are preferable to the most highly qualified Black men has been a smashing success.
Between the tariff lunacy tanking the economy, the chain-sawing of the federal govt, & Signal-gate (parts 1 & 2), the supremacy is not looking very supreme.

Elon Musk admitted why he’s spending $18 million & paying voters $100 a pop to flip Wisconsin Supreme Court. It’s all about keeping GOP gerrymandering advantage in US House. If Dems retake House they can investigate Musk, DOGE & his $38 billion in govt contracts www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

i think rage at congestion pricing is a good example of how no one believes that the world can be positive sum anymore. like, people pay a small fee to get access to a faster commute — saving them valuable time — and the money improves public transit, saving other people valuable time. it's win-win!

Democrats hold razor-thin majorities in both chambers. If we lose one seat in either chamber, Dems lose the majority.

RFK announcement puts a fine point on something I've been trying to articulate and is a theme of the Trump years. It's something I've wrestled with and that a lot of Dem messaging has gotten wrong. Part of what Trump does is constantly divide the country along the lines of pro-system and anti-system
