The Presidents company, where he posts things that move the markets… Is selling data access to Wall Street, so they can front run retail investors. Can MAGA earnestly say they think this is ok for a sitting President to be affiliated with?

This past weekend I found myself talking to a few people about AOL CDs we'd get in the mail, and that to get on the internet you'd need to install AOL, make sure no one was talking on the phone, and then dial up that 56kbps modem (if you were lucky) to watch an image slowly load on your blinking screen. One person in the conversation, who will remain unnamed (jk it was @jasminewsun) said: Alex, I have no idea what any of those words mean. And that's when I aged 20 years in a second.

On this topic: I think more CEOs should get comfortable just saying “this is the way I’m personally most effective, and since I’m the CEO and need to run the company, we’re going to organize around my preferences.” I’ve seen leaders who are garbage at remote management thrive as in person leaders, but they try to justify it through absolute statements about effectiveness vs just saying sorry homies this is how I roll and I’m king of the castle.

Despicable: the House just passed a farm bill that includes the SOB Act to keep pigs imprisoned in crates. Our last hope is to keep this out of the Senate farm bill. Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them NO farm bill bill with the Save Our Bacon Act in it.

This is shocking: the House Rules Committee just blocked a vote on stripping the Save Our Bacon Act from the farm bill. The SOB Act, buried deep in the farm bill, would wipe out state bans on pork from crated pigs, condemning millions to a lifetime in gestation crates. We were

In 2025, the trade deficit fell by just $2.1 billion compared to 2024. The reduction in the trade deficit was due to an increase in the trade surplus of services, as the goods deficit actually increased by $25.5 billion year over year.

On the one hand, California identifies as the most progressive state. On the other hand, it has created an untaxed , hereditary landed gentry that it costs seven figures to buy into on most of the state.

I cannot speak to what is a 'legally' sound application of Section 122, however I can make the following economic points as there is much confusion about persistent US trade deficits and a balance of payment crisis. The difference is similar to suffering from chronically high cholesterol versus having a heart attack. US trade deficits are large and need to be brought down. Reducing US fiscal deficits is important. At the same time, there is no doubt in the US ability to pay the world and therefore no crisis. There is high cholesterol but not a heart attack. In the early 1970s the US did have a heart attack. That was when the dollar was pegged to gold and other countries were pegged to the dollar. The US was in real risk of running out of gold to make its payments which then led to the collapse of Bretton Woods. The difference between persistent trade deficits and a BoP crisis is not semantics. The policy actions required to address them are not the same. A 150 day tariff cannot reduce persistent trade deficits and the US is not having a heart attack.
