The bond market is starting to break. Things are about to get extremely ugly in the economy. Rates increasing this fast could put banks into distress and leave companies unable to access financing.

When a court instructs Epstein files be released, and they are not, and when a court instructs media be allowed into White House, but they are not, then your courts are irrelevant. You have no law, not for those in power. When a court says "Accept this vote" and it is not, what are you gonna do?

When you call President Trump a "rapist" or
"pedophile," you're not only insulting your president - but also supporters like me.
After all, if you think I'm the type of person who would vote for a rapist — you must not think highly of me.
Is that the message you want to send?

A federal judge says Todd Blanche isn't sufficiently following the court's orders in a case concerning the Epstein files and gave Blanche a deadline to comply or face the possibility of contempt charges. The order stems from the lawsuit brought by Katie Phang.
