Since people seem to have missed this one, unsealed in the Smith filing: -Trump used a burner phone, routed through a foreign country to contact Michigan house speaker. -He tried to pressure the speaker in this off book call. -Speaker McCarthy knew about the burner phone line. -The phone showed up as “Spam Risk Egypt” on caller ID. If the President thought his attempt to overturn the election and forge elector documents were legitimate “official acts” why was he using an insecure, foreign routed burner phone for these calls? How many other sensitive calls did the former President have on this unencrypted line with coconspirators, that could now be used as blackmail against him, by any foreign nation which may have tapped that line? (And before the reply bots get here, let me remind them: Trump’s own legal team did not dispute the authenticity of *anything* unsealed from the Smith filing)

Can I get a show of hands from Trump voters who would be opposed to US boots on the ground, and tax payer money spent on Gaza? Because it seems like if there is one thing you can critique Trump on, it’s this. Surely we agree on this?

No one tells you this but 90% of parenting a toddler, is just walking around covered in stickers all the time. You will forget they are there. You will answer the door, while your shirt is covered in random farm animal stickers. This is your life now.

Trump’s repeal of Biden EO’s did not include 14067 which was the executive order on digital assets that enabled Chokepoint 2.0 So career officials at regulatory offices still currently have broad over reach powers against entities dealing with crypto….

A great disturbance in the force - It was as if millions of gen z voices suddenly cried out and were suddenly silenced.

To put into perspective the irrational position of US debt right now, todays PPI numbers came in better than expected, and yields saw some initial relief, and then just turned around and said “nah fuck it” and made a new local high 😅

@adamcorchan AI Agents are nowhere as robust as people think, we’re not that close. Successful ones will be extremely purpose built, function tailored and extend human capacity, not replace it - at least for the next 3-5 years. How can I be so sure? OpenAI who has far superior internal models still pays $245k-$345k for a frontend engineer. If for $300k of compute, their best models cannot build an AI Agent to manage a full frontend workflow, then it’s not possible to do today at the right level of sophistication. A human needs to be involved in the process. That’s also the sweet spot. We can 100x human capacity, output and productivity, without major labor sacrifice. But tailor your expectations, and your investments, in accordance with that trend. Humans in workflows matter. 🤷‍♂️

@adamcorchan The US imports 4.3M barrels *a day* of oil from Canada. It’s also where 14% of all US exported goods end up. And: -8% of all US natural gas (99% of imported) -40% of all US uranium. -87% of all US potash. -48% of all US timber. -63% of US refined lithium. -15% of all US cobalt. -13% of all US graphite (but the other other 97% is China) -The only friendly country with extensive titanium deposits -80% of all non-Chinese rare earth elements imported into the US. Other than trade war with China, damaging trade relations with Canada is the single worst thing the US can do - as everything will become eyewateringly expensive overnight. That level of inflation will be like anything we’ve seen in the past 20 years. And the industries hit the worst will be high end tech and fuel prices.

Nasty reaction to the ISM PMI. This pushed investors over the edge to no longer expecting a high likelihood of rate cuts moving forward. Caused a huge spike in the 10Y & 20Y yields, and a sudden sell off in BTC et al.

In a world where Russia has invaded Ukraine, and China is eyeing Taiwan, it’s not only an embarrassment, but a political weakness to have the President-elect repeatedly talk about the absorption or annexation of sovereign allied nations and their territories. He said it one time and it was “hurr durr it’s just a joke” and now it’s all he can talk about. I don’t believe he has any interest in actually doing it - but I think it’s an intentional effort to normalize these conversations for the dictators and oligarchs he looks up to, who have current, and active, imperial ambitions.
