Zagged a bit this week. Watched a frustrating conversation between leftists about DSA; Netanyahu name-checking Hasan; Trump paying more attention to Zohran than his own party. Felt the need to put DSA's mobilizing efforts in historical context and offer some perspective on left movements.

The financial media got bored of private credit and moved on. I get it. Lots to talk about these days. But we should be looking into private credit, not past it. Inside this opaque world there's a debt bomb tied to AI financing. A responsible administration would make them open their books.
