Trump's "big" trade deal is with the UK: - It's a framework not a deal - They're our 11th largest trading partner - They're only 3% of US trade (97% to go) - They *already* charge average tariffs of only 1% (limited upside) It's a photo op, not a macroeconomically significant moment.

My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.

From a colleague who worked for for USAID until he was abruptly fired last week. As he says, courts take time. If you shatter things with a hammer it doesn’t matter if the courts eventually rule in your favor. You destroy lives—of government workers and of millions of poor people around the world.

I was fired last Tuesday. All my other colleagues were put on administrative leave today. Courts take time. Moving fast and breaking things is the strategy, and the Democrats don't want to stand up for the Agency. They're incompetent and it's too politically challenging to defend foreign aid.
