Wow, talk about overexplaining a lie.

Kevin Hassett: "The data can't be propaganda. The data has to be something you can trust, bc decision-makers throughout the economy trust that these are the data that they can build a factory because they believe, or cut interest rates. If the data aren't that good, it's a real problem for the US."

What? Did you see the GM earnings?

Only looking at the stock chart, do you think Trump's tariffs had a positive or negative effect on GM's vehicle sales when they announced earnings today?

Can someone explain why this is a good thing? #Ukraine

Update: DOJ has missed its 11:30 a.m. deadline.

Polymarket betting on next PM of #Canada as of April 11th

For those who missed it this weekend... Canada is rolling out the first SMR nuclear reactor.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

You saw this during the pandemic. Companies will take any excuse to raise prices. Remember when so many companies blamed supply chains? Guess what they're gonna blame again? This'll likely result in the US gov implementing a department just to combat price-push inflation AKA "bad policy"

Oh sh*t, James over on Twitter is correct. Trump arrived at the foreign tariff numbers by taking the trade deficit and dividing it by the total imports.

What's up with the deal the Taliban got?

Look at the deal he gave the Taliban

What's up with #Trump giving the Taliban such a sweet deal on #tariffs?

Second page?

It looks like there were two pages:

Stock futures now down -2.20% in afterhours as Trump continues talking about #tariffs.

Trump announces 10% blanket tariffs on countries exporting to the US. Higher tariffs for targetted countries. #tariffs

So yeah if the CPC loses the election, here’s the main reason why: refusing to see that the uncertainty (and, in fact, the whole crisis) is entirely the creation of the White House.

Trump enjoys uncertainty because it makes him feel powerful. He’s been explicit about it.

CUSMA/USMCA is his deal.

Elon’s Downfall

You're correct. "NOBs" - Names on Ballot. They probably saw an opportunity for a blue wave and jumped in to fill in as a candidate. Shows what kind of government we were gonna get if Carney didn't prevent the Liberal plane from hitting the ground.
