The argument was that capital formation was critical to success, that if you wanted bigger actions, that required fewer decision makers, that somehow these handful of people were doing is a favor by buffering us from destabilizing levels of income … The argument was bullshit.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.
So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.

"Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.

Those are the elements of murder.

Jonathan Cohn: "This was not a decision to reject the Moderna vaccine. It was a refusal even to think about approving it." That's right. Consideration would lead directly to approval. And RFKJr isn't having that.

One thing that should be in any negotiated DHS funding is that they have to remove the word “Police” from everything the wear and use. They are not police. They don’t have the same powers. They don’t follow the same (any?) rules. They don’t get to have the same name.

Good but, he’s not on the ballot (hopefully ever again) so, how many of *these* voters know there’s an election in November, will show up, and will vote for a Congress that will remove him?
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

Bc it’s not law enforcement
It’s ethnic cleansing
The way to prevent this isn’t to create greater barriers to entry, it’s to open the front door and admit willing migrants lawfully in an orderly fashion. And also to have some human fucking decency.

Yesterday, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. Among the more notable exchanges was when Rep. Pramila Jayapal asked some of Jeffrey Epstein's victims who were in the audience to stand up and indicate whether Bondi's DOJ had ever contacted them about their experiences. None of them had heard from the Justice Department. Bondi wouldn't even look at the victims as she frantically flipped through her prepared notes.
