If Newsom or whomever is the best chance to take the White House from Trump/Vance or whatever Christian Nationalist, techno-fuedal billionaire fascist we dream, I'm all in.

Fuck you and your purity tests. Without freedom and democracy, trans people have no chance in hell.

The same people saying they won't vote for Newsom because he isn't outright supporting the trans community are the same people who would have sat out on Obama bc he didn't openly embrace gay marriage.

Miss me with the bullshit, sanctimonious virtue signaling purity tests.

Stagflation confirmed today

Anybody who said this divorce was going to quiet and cordial for fear of mutual assured destruction was dead wrong.

I don't take credit for this, but I hope you mention this on Pivot

There's always a tweet.

(I remember from admin 1. I know @therickwilson.bsky.social remembers)

Well, now we know what the plane was a gift for.

Betrayed them with the withdrawal his first admin drew up. Betrayed them by letting Isis fighters out of prison. Betrays them by feeding them to the wolves.

Are we sure it isn't just another tariff extortion racket?

Because he sure likes to use tariffs the way mobsters use violence to extort businesses.

Thank you for the many kind words today.

I am very close to announcing a gubernatorial run. To win Florida, the Democratic nominee will need to genuinely unify and inspire a coalition of Democrats, independents, and common sense Republicans. I am committed to doing my part as a Florida Democrat.

A president who wants to go back to ZIRP.

It's just as simple (and asinine) as that.

And extremely punitive for small businesses that don't have the resources to get a carve out, let alone a platform to plead their case.

Suddenly I feel this happens next week

*looks up how the patriarch mad millions during the crash and depression*

Yep. Checks out.

Where are the leaders?

Ok, I lol'd

From Reddit - 3D printed Starbucks - yes real life.

I cannot understand why they left the exterior with the same issue small scale prints face. Stucco it, put some other form of exterior on it.

So fourteen more senators.

More pain needed for that to happen... a lot more.

We need a veto proof number in Congress to take back control or this won’t work

He wants Treasury Sec really bad, huh?

Ding ding

Dead cat bounce

I'm treating this as a dead cat bounce until proven otherwise

I'm dubious. I'm saying dead cat bounce until proven otherwise.

Key word hasset said was "considering"

"considering"

HASSETT: TRUMP IS CONSIDERING A 90-DAY PAUSE IN TARIFFS FOR ALL COUNTRIES EXCEPT CHINA

Bond yields leaping on news and Nasdaq up.

Trump put has been activated?

Dead cat bounce until proven otherwise

I don't think this is a today problem, but in the next few years -- keep note -- the SPX is parabolic

As @walterdeemer.bsky.social notes, parabolic advances can go higher and longer than expected but they don't correct sideways.

Reminder: social security is an annuity. It's a very successful, well run, contractual obligation between you and the government.

You pay your money in for an expected rate of return.

How many times did I see on Shark Tank some entrepreneur would try this and every single Shark turned their nose at the investment for just that reason:

The costs will be prohibitive. Smart business people understand price elasticity in the marketplace.

What does that have to do with what I said?

The US stock market looks at US stocks. That hasn't changed in 96 years.

I'm probably dead wrong, but I feel like he's going to pivot by Monday morning. The optics of this are becoming embarrassing.
