Everyone who has ever come into contact with Donald Trump has been screwed over by him. But I never thought it would happen to me.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

Here’s the best way to understand what’s happening. Trump genuinely wants to impose a 19th century mercantilist model that would crash the economy and destroy the global trading order but the idea is just so colossally stupid and destructive, he can’t actually do it. So we get this.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Safely rewriting the code that underpins Social Security systems would take years. DOGE wants it done in months. What could possibly go wrong?

Social Security systems contain tens of millions of lines of code written in COBOL, an archaic programming language. Safely rewriting that code would take years—DOGE wants it done in months.

Yet another stunning example that proves that European states absolutely need to "shoot first and tell Washington later", regardless of who sits in the White House. We must all ensure we don't need American approval to do what we must in any confrontation against Russia.

“It’s clear that the United States is no longer a reliable partner. It’s possible that, with comprehensive negotiations, we’ll be able to restore some trust, but there will be no turning back. We’ll need to pivot our trade relationships elsewhere.” — Canadian PM Carney Didn’t need to be this way.

American Bar Association @americanbar.org · 26/03/2025
More than 50 bar organizations stand together with the American Bar Association to defend the rule of law and reject efforts to undermine the courts and the legal profession. Read the full statement: www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...
We support the right of people to advance their interests in courts of law when they have been wronged. We reject the notion that the U.S. government can punish lawyers and law firms who represent certain clients or punish judges who rule certain ways. We cannot accept government actions that seek to twist the scales of justice in this manner.
We reject efforts to undermine the courts and the profession. We will not stay silent in the face of efforts to remake the legal profession into something that rewards those who agree with the government and punishes those who do not. Words and actions matter. And the intimidating words and actions we have heard and seen must end. They are designed to cow our country’s judges, our country’s courts and our legal profession.
There are clear choices facing our profession. We can choose to remain silent and allow these acts to continue or we can stand for the rule of law and the values we hold dear. We call upon the entire profession, including lawyers in private practice from Main Street to Wall Street, as well as those in corporations and who serve in elected positions, to speak out against intimidation.

The issue isn't that markets have fallen, which as Bessent correctly notes happens from time to time. The issue is that it was directly triggered by the President's erratic, damaging, and frankly bizarre policies, which he only intends to triple-down on going forwards.
