I don't like to talk about stories before they are fully reported, but I am writing on ICE in a Minnesota town that isn't Minneapolis. However bad you think it is, it is worse. It is a campaign of pure terror whose only strategic goal is more terror. There is no strategy other than to break people.

The US economy has a case of AI Dutch Disease--sectors that produce no jobs are driving growth/wealth and keeping demand for capital and rates high at the expense of job creating sectors. A low UR says this is more structural than cyclical

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

One of the biggest takeaways from the Epstein file release today was that Jeffrey Epstein in 2018 and early 2019 was telling people he had dirt on Trump which could destroy Trump. That is very likely why the Trump DOJ charged Jeffrey Epstein in July 2019 and then "suicided" him.
