*who doesn’t currently hold any position in the govt??

yes good alright

Court politics are inherently incoherent.

Shot + chaser

The general response to the Lizza thing is like a geiger counter going off. I don’t need to lick Cobalt-60 to know it’s bad and I will not read whatever he wrote.

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ...

... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Like, everyone outside of the US wants to see America get wrecked for its general assholery since January. Still seems pretty clear letting it shoot itself in the dick was the right play.

Tariffs “don’t raise prices.”

But now that we’re dropping them, they’ll lower prices. 🤡

I distinctly recall the US energy sector doing its dough 2014-2016 and because it was all held by degenerate gamblers / high yield funds / hedge fund guys (choose your narrative) it was not that big a deal more broadly.

Really struggling to understand why Naomi Klein has become a KOL here. Most of this stuff is well outside the banking system and what is within it has suitable risk weightings.

Remember when Republicans and corporate media lost their minds over Charlie Kirk's murder, which was allegedly done by Tyler Robinson, and somehow blamed "the left" for their rhetoric?

But Trump outright saying Democrats should be executed is fine.

Cool.

People said it would be a long time before AI took any jobs but judging by the latest Grok update Kara Swisher will be out of work very soon

Like clockwork. ⏰

I’m howling.

Of course an alternative or flanking policy is equipping Europes sizeable EV and corporate car subsidies with European preferences.

A symmetric response to Chinas policies.

For more on that see our recent paper: www.cer.eu/publications...

The let-it-die camp also still has to explain to me why politicians aren’t going to intervene anyway when the pressure mounts further.

The realistic choice in my view is do smart policy or wait for a hot mess of bailouts and crappy policy.

What do I care I am not paying it. Fixating on that measure assumes everyone is on a simple bulk tariff which is not the case anymore.

Shocked you are shocked the guys that did the Uyghur concentration camps would have a problem with this.

I mean Matt's personal "Russia Gate" was the time he wrote in explicit detail about raping teenagers in Russia so it's actually pretty spot on for him

Oh, fun. we’re at this stage already

The prospect of an embarrassing defeat convinced Trump to reverse course on Epstein files | CNN Politics President Donald Trump is no longer fighting the release of the Epstein files. But that doesn’t mean he’s happy about it.

"...a rare moment of retreat for a president who has made a habit of bending Washington to his will...after the White House privately tried and failed last week to pressure a handful of Republican lawmakers..."

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Lawrence Summers to step back from public roles over ties to Epstein Former US Treasury secretary sought paedophile’s advice over relationship he was pursuing

My sense of Epstein is that he weaponized the ability to get guys to share humiliating or illegal sexual desires and activities with him, which he could then exploit for favors or blackmail. An ancient profession no doubt but one I hadn’t thought about so clearly. on.ft.com/49uRtjb

Idk they lack the wisdom to not be entrapped by an RU kompromat opp using underage girls. I think thats most of it for me.

Matt Gaetz is so lucky that this came out during the Epstein email scandal and will be barely discussed as a result.

He was originally Trump’s DOJ pick, which says a lot about Trump
