All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

I am being somewhat flippant about this but I'm honestly not sure how else to react to a document demonstrating some of the world's most powerful men chortling about their super-secret treehouse club where they abuse young women.

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

An unusual sight: President Trump is getting ratio’d on Truth Social for asking his followers to move on from the Epstein files. Some say he’s “gaslighting,” others say it will cost him supporters or even “kill MAGA.” A sampling of some replies getting heavy engagement.

Trump and British PM Liz Truss were both forced by financial market freakouts to retreat from economic folly. In the UK case, Truss promptly resigned, because 1) Britain is still a more or less functional polity, 2) she has a normal human sense of self-respect, and 3) her own party told her to.

Markets check: everything is getting killed. US futures are down over 3%, high yield spreads are blowing out, crude is down almost 6% (thanks to OPEC+ for adding more supply than expected this AM), dollar down 1.5%, yield curve bull-steepening. Full-blown recession pricing for the US across assets.

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless. He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory. The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel. TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE 🤡

I don’t think what he said qualifies as an apology. He said it was the cut and thrust of debate and implied I couldn’t handle it. My issue isn’t about a difference of political opinion, it’s about courtesy & aggressively interrupting me while I was making a point of order is not acceptable.
