I’m a popularist who follows the evidence. Democrats must nominate Jerome Powell.

Article suggests that they just figured out that they need to send in ground troops to accomplish their objectives. Could the Trump administration be that stupid? You be the judge.

"War has clearly hit a few timing snags" is going to be my new "We've turned a corner, but many challenges remain."

Reduces some risks (e.g. rogue traders), and they probably figure they aren’t going to beat the market. Hedges roll off, and so they need to buy indefinitely anyway.

Four men stand together on an indoor curling rink, smiling while holding a large trophy. They wear matching light-colored sweaters with dark trim and a crest on the chest, along with collared shirts underneath. Two of the men hold the large metal trophy between them while another holds a smaller cup. Behind them, a large crowd fills the arena seating, and flags and signs hang above the rink. The photograph is in black and white and captures the group during a trophy presentation.

The 1982 Brier in Brandon, Manitoba was the first time over 100,000 spectators came out to the event. The Al Hackner rink representing Northern Ontario finally won after losing in the final in 1980 and 1981. Hackner won the Brier again for Northern Ontario in 1985.

🧡Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/
