@TKL_Adam Let's see how they try and do that, easy enough to pull back on tariffs you yourself control, US does not control the strait and IRGC will want to ensure US is unable to attack again, but to give IRGC what they want it would have to be a historic TACO, spun as some kind of win

President Trump has 50 "free" hours to contain the bond market by the futures open on Sunday. If history is any guide, Trump and Bessent will be working overtime on the containment of the bond market this weekend. If not, things will get very ugly, very fast.

@andreagail_k @TKL_Adam For financially illiterate people, he didn't lose 90% on bets, fund was negative then flat first few years and most investors pulled out, after which it actually posted +20% returns for few years, but at this point the fund was too small and was closed down.

How Trump’s Treasury Secretary Crashed His Own Hedge Fund Trump’s Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent lost 90% of his hedge fund’s money—and left Wall Street with one of the worst track records in the business. thebulwark.com/p/how-trumps-t…

@MAHA_Action So this is the best vaccine hesitant "doctor" you could find? Someone that isn't even licensed? 😆

Dr. Casey Means is poised to become the next Surgeon General. All that remains is her confirmation vote. The obstacle? Republican Senator Bill Cassidy is holding up the process. Sen. Cassidy has voiced opposition to key parts of the MAHA agenda, despite strong support for it among his constituents. While the process stalls, Americans are being denied a Surgeon General we all know is qualified and will thrive in the role. We urge Sen. Cassidy to move this nomination forward and allow President Trump’s pick to be confirmed so she can begin her work helping Make America Healthy Again.

@MAHA_Action @grok That's too bad, the answer is no. This is what MAHA is, unqualified people and lawyers advising a nation on their health

@MAHA_Action @grok is Casey means fully trained, licensed and practicing? Has she ever been?

@atrupar Well, no more Tr4nnies and stuff, hope it was worth it America

Trump: "You know, when I didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. You gotta understand, I don't care. Norway has lost so credible. I stopped 8 wars. Stopping wars -- I think I do it the best. President Putin called me, he said, 'I can't believe you stopped this one!'"

@AGPamBondi @TheJusticeDept @CivilRights Release all the pedos names in the Epstein Files, Dow Jones is down 10% at 45,000

Today @TheJusticeDept @CivilRights launched federal investigations into California and Maine regarding housing biological men in women’s prisons. Keeping men out of women’s prisons isn’t just common sense — it’s a matter of safety and constitutional rights.

@unusual_whales Pathetic

Trump: I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.

@bmay I can just imagine the crackheads trying to catch that thing with some fishing nets or something to strip it for $3.50 in copper here where I live

China. Solar panel roofing over car parks. Drones cleaning them. We’re so behind.

@RepRaskin When the Russians fought in Chechnya, commanders would receive money from enemy and give away locations of their patrols to be killed by ambush, this is the USA now

Today brings news that Putin is preparing to send drones and other military equipment to their autocrat allies in Iran to fight Americans, and Rep. Luna decides to give a private Capitol tour to the members of the Putin-loving Duma. Perhaps she showed them a tour of Trump’s bloody J6 insurrection, which Putin, as Trump’s mentor and good friend, regularly tries to whitewash as a friendly ‘stroll’ and a legitimate ‘protest.’ Perhaps she learned from her Russian comrades how to be completely obedient to an authoritarian president. Perhaps they discussed their common opposition to Ukrainian democracy and human rights and the sheer excitement of being on both sides of Trump’s war of chaos in Iran.

@StateDept So it's a personal hatred, like a WWE match? FFS Americans, you're being led by a monkey

PRESIDENT TRUMP on the Russia-Ukraine war: I think we’re going to get it settled, but it’s a terrible thing. I settled eight wars, and this should’ve been the easiest one, but the hatred between President Putin and President Zelenskyy is extreme.

@koshercockney @BillAckman stop being such a dunce x.com/i/grok/share/8…

Guys. It’s happening. The Iranian people have begun taking their country back. An anti-regime combat unit successfully ambushed several vehicles belonging to the IRGC security forces and eliminated them. In the city of Nushabad, in Isfahan Province. x.com/visegrad24/sta…

@MOSSADil x.com/i/grok/share/8…

⛓️‍💥 THIS IS THE WAY TO FREEDOM 🎥 WATCH: Anti-regime fighters reportedly ambushed multiple IRGC security vehicles in Nushabad (Isfahan Province), killing those inside.  Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

@RepLuna You're just a traitor masquerading as a "peacemaker"

Those that are arguing against peace talks are complete sociopaths and should be called out for what they are. We MUST put an end to the war in Ukraine. Period.

@wartranslated It didnt look like it hit anything at all at the end there

Soniashnyk posted video of a Russian S-300 launcher being hit while firing at Kharkiv. The clip shows a kamikaze drone strike and an S-300 cold launch, where the missile is ejected before the engine ignites in the air.

@StateDept Weak propaganda for stupid people, this is how highly POTUS thinks of his own constituents

PRESIDENT TRUMP: NATO wasn’t there for us. We send billions of dollars to them every year to protect them. We would have always been there for them. But based on their actions, I guess we don’t have to be, do we? Why would we be there for them if they’re not there for us?

@michaeljburry @realDonaldTrump @pulte @SecScottBessent @FHFA @USTreasury

Open Letter on Housing, Fannie & Freddie @realDonaldTrump @pulte @SecScottBessent @FHFA @USTreasury $fnma $FMCC We studied housing square footage per capita adequacy, and found that there is no problem there. The US in fact has more residential square footage per capita than any other country in the world. This is not a housing shortage, despite what so many say. The problem is that bigger houses are inefficiently housing fewer people. The post-COVID low rate environment locked people into a lifecycle real estate position. Empty nesters can't sell, first time home buyers cannot buy. Second-hand home inventory is near all-time lows due to record low supply, not record demand. Prices are high due to the same reason. Home equity is now a record $35 trillion, nearly doubling pre-COVID levels. 40% of homeowners own their homes free and clear - a record. And about 30% of all home buyers pay for homes without borrowing. Older homes were upgraded at a record pace during COVID, extending and refreshing the usefulness of residential real estate. Artificially low interest rates, ~$6-7 trillion in helicopter cash and forgivable loans helped drive both the home updates and high housing prices. Work from home moved the office into the home, often expensed or deductible. People with white collar jobs and means chose to live/work in exotic or remote locations. All of this together does not speak of a housing shortage, or a housing problem. Instead it is a problem of current residential space allocation and mobility, and this problem was created by government manipulation of interest rates, cash money supply, and COVID lockups that went on too long and changed work/home behavior. Government created the problem and now maintains policies that prevent free markets from reaching a solution, not the least of which is keeping the GSEs inefficiently run while in conservatorship. Recall Pulte's video upon arriving at Fannie Mae - no one was in the office buildings. The companies have become atherosclerotic, inefficient government programs, while a decade of financial engineering optimized for homeowner wealth accumulation rather than housing market velocity/mobility/fluidity. Government must fix this problem by facilitating efficient re-allocation of housing stock with higher housing velocity/mobility through the release of the GSEs into free markets. This is a problem made for the GSEs. Through well-targeted programs, the GSE can help the free market find spaces to intelligently reallocate , and help US citizens with housing mobility. Building more new overpriced, poorly built homes in increasingly dangerous flood zones and other hazardous fringe areas is not the solution. It adds to the problem through high maintenance burdens on new homeowners with little equity in their homes. Rather, to build mobility/velocity of homeowners and housing space, the GSEs need to be recapitalized and retain easy access to capital markets. They also need to be run by real mortgage executives, not government functionaries. To achieve this they need to exit conservatorship in a manner that excites markets to fund these companies, now with guidelines to prevent risk-taking outside of their purpose, and grow their purchases of mortgages of well-targeted specification. I should have written this into the Recurrence piece itself.

@GAZAWOOD1 @bouchraSahrane @Nikita it is so cruel even you can't accept it, a human can do this.

@financialjuice He just doesn't understand regret so uses bored as a substitute

Trump is getting a little bored with Iran. Not that he regrets it or something — he’s just bored and wants to move on - MSNow citing US Official. ms.now/news/trump-ira…
