“The challenge for investors: reconciling huge capital spending plans with the potential AI revenues,” BlackRock added. “Will their orders of magnitude match?”

Oh, is that the challenge?

Not a 'bubble,' but maybe an 'air pocket': Wall Street says it's time to reset the AI narrative Two of Wall Street’s biggest firms say the AI boom isn’t a bubble, arguing real spending and earnings support the stock market rally even as near-term risks emerge.

When the biggest players find themselves reinventing the rationale for the exorbitant run rate, on an almost weekly basis, you might want to start unwinding your position.

Opinion Editorial Board The liberal judicial 'resistance' lives A federal court exceeds its role by second-guessing Congress on funding Planned Parenthood.

Once again I am calling on @postopinions.bsky.social to byline the editorials ascribed to the editorial board, because readers should be able to make fun of the specific person who wrote this dogshit and thought it was smart www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I’d like to solve the puzzle:

The reason Rs didn't vote to convict Trump after 1/6 was out of fear that Trump diehards would split the party.

The best thing that could happen on that front is Trump-only voters staying home for the midterms and the fear over splitting the party abating, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

🇪🇺 The EU has laid out a plan to use frozen Russian assets to help fund Ukraine with 90 billion euros over the next two years, despite outspoken opposition from key player Belgium.

This will be the sixth cycle in a row where the GOP is dependent on low-propensity, disengaged voters. There's some real hoisted on your own petard potential here.

Also, Costco gets great rates because it has enough employees to enjoy actual bargaining power. It has nothing to do with state lines.

Selling across state lines is a complete scam absent federal regulations that address the participating provider issue.

"OK, here's where you can read about it. We'll wait for you to read it and keep broadcasting live until you answer."

I'm guessing neither Trump nor Putin are all that popular in Hungary.

Absent both Alito and Thomas retiring, there will need to be 15 seats on SCOTUS.

This. There's no judicial philosophy underpinning any of it, only Barrett occasionally deciding the majority's new precedent goes too far in a concurring opinion.

Trump sent an angry mob to sack the Capitol with every single Senator inside the Capitol. They still couldn't get to 67 votes.

Twitter user joycloete: Menopause is as result of a suboptimal diet and suboptimal lifestyle. Healthy women of any age menstruate every month.

One of the consequences of abysmal approval ratings is that other ambitious men feel free to challenge a JD Vance coronation.

I meant a blanket pardon for him via Vance.

If Trump departs his mortal coil tomorrow, Vance will have most of them clearing out their desks by the end of the week. I suspect that there's a part of Trump that doesn't want to spend his remaining time as an unpopular POTUS and would welcome a resignation for blanket pardon deal.

You know who really “hates Nashville”? The Republicans who did this to the city to steal their representation, while refusing to have a single town hall there ever. (cc: Speaker Sexton, @SenJohnson @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn @AndyOgles @RepJohnRose @MattForTN @RepMarkGreen @SenatorHagerty )

This is the most consequential story for the 2026 midterms. Yet, I cannot find it anywhere on legacy media. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

There's a lot of them hoping SCOTUS finds a way to rule that redistricting can only occur the year following the census.

Every member of the clown car that is Trump's cabinet has peaked and they absolutely know it.

And by peaked, I don't mean a nornal step down. It's going to be like falling off a cliff for most of them.

My observation is more about people like Cuban, Barro, and McCardle who have clearly soured on what the GOP has become, but want the D base to agree to completely remake the party in order to come over. It's neither a net gain for the D party, or a reasonable ask.
