China bought 30 million metric tons of soybeans from the US last year. This year under Trump it will be 12 million.

Eli Lilly just smashing Q3 earnings.

EPS was 7.02 vs 5.89 expected
Revenue 17.6 billion vs 16.1 expected.

EPS up 495% year over year.

Tirzepatide ALONE 10.1 billion in sales.

Insane numbers all around

Nativism is a remarkable combination of bigotry and stupidity.

Just one of many who at the time had incredibly stupid opinions on this subject and all of them look like idiots still. It should go without saying that no one deserves to be arrested for voicing their opinion.

Eric Adams' reputation for corruption is so ingrained, he has to attach a disclaimer like this when he asks New Yorkers to donate money for Jamaica relief.

Amazing how our public health infrastructure will get mad about food dyes Because Chemicals Are Bad For You but look away from the clear health impacts of very definitely Bad For You chemicals.

Really interesting thread from the men’s suit guy (who is actually about far more than merely men’s fashion)

It does generate $1 billion+ of FCF annually. The GAAP earnings are a reflection of how the cash inflow is recognized as revenue vs the recognition of expenses.

"the FBI director used taxpayer funds in a government shutdown to fly his country singer GF to sing at a Hulk Hogan-founded wrestling event aired on Fox Nation" is not the flashiest Trump-era headline but pound for pound it can compete with any contender

Absolutely amazes me that educated people would install a system like this without a failsafe, backup or feedback mechanism. It's basic stuff! Hardly even deserves to be called cybernetics. It's just part of the job, like wiping the draining board is part of the job of washing up.

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

And actually astonishing when you think about it: The Trump administration's top officials are choosing to separate themselves from the public—more to the point: separate themselves from any visible protest—and live on military bases.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

If Trump had hoped that appointing a loyalist to the Fed would push it in a more dovish direction, he appears to have failed completely as the Fed swung in a sharply hawkish direction today.

Miran's problem is that making an utterly incoherent case for rate cuts convinced no-one.

DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found.

DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found.

While it's always a great time to donate to WCK, now is an especially great time. They're not only doing the work in Jamaica, they're also feeding Federal workers in D.C. during the shutdown.

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

This narrative isn't true though, he's a rich kid lol.

He did not need to sign up for college, and he's explicitly stated his sign up was because he wanted to have fun/play soldier, in two separate interviews

On top of that, he could have chosen any MOS that wasn't infantry, and sought it.

The average person if told lies constantly just stops believing anything they hear which is the point of this strategy.

Fed cuts 25 bps as expected, Miran dissent (lol loser), Schmid dissented in favor of no change (hawkish!).
