See you at the State House 4/19/25 at 3PM!

“.. judging only from price action, we are suddenly witnessing a comprehensive turn away from US assets (stocks, USTs, corporate credit and the dollar). this is the single most important theme to monitor over coming weeks. .. for the moment capital is flowing out of the US.”

Wow.

Tomorrow, El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House.

The press needs to drive a wedge between him & Trump's lies in court that he has no power to get Kilmar Abrego García released.

Buckle up.

Well now it’s hitting them hard & we need to keep telling & explaining this to them. We could have had continued prosperity with Kamala Harris’s leadership.

Perhaps Americans will finally understand there are hard tangible costs to racism and sexism.

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

The Atlantic's Derek Thompson: 'Completely reject' the idea that tariffs will lead to abundance Derek Thompson, The Atlantic staff writer, joins CNBC's 'Power Lunch' to discuss newly announced tariffs, how the American public feels about them, and more.

They told me if I voted for Kamala the market would crash, and then we’d probably have a recession. They were right.

Remember when TikTok was a “national security concern”?
