Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Dollar Confidence Crisis Is Here, Deutsche Bank Warns
By WSJ Staff
The broad selloff in U.S. stocks and bonds, and the continuing decline in the dollar, represents a
"simultaneous collapse in the price of all U.S. assets," analysts at Deutsche Bank said Wednesday. They warned that "unchartered territory" lies ahead.
• Markets are dedollarizing, they said, citing the lack of evidence that investors are hoarding dollar liquidity- a dynamic that in previous market routs fueled Treasury and U.S. dollar rallies but this time is leading to declines in the prices of both.
• The administration is encouraging the Treasury selloff, they said, in a bid to bring down U.S. asset valuations-a decision they said now is exposing the fact that "reducing bilateral trade imbalances is functionally equivalent to lowering demand for U.S. assets as well."
• A financial war with China could lie ahead, they conclude, contending that "there is little room now left for an escalation on the trade front" and that
"there can be no winner to such a war."

The NBA doesn't have a 3 pt shot problem. 3's have skyrocketed this yr because it's the most protected shot. Inside the 3 line, there can be all kinds of contact. Outside the 3 line, you can't even be in the "landing zone", and most guys just fly by to contest. Of course there are more 3s
