Thank you so much, Anthony, for having me on! It was a great conversation about a really important topic.

“.. consumer sentiment at its lowest level since the series began in November 1952! .. undercutting the lows of all the prior eleven recessions .. the 1970s oil shock,.. the tech wreck and terrorist attacks of 2001, the GFC of 2008-2009 .. the 2020 pandemic.” @EconguyRosie

What kind of trader places a massive bet at 6:49 AM—just 15 minutes before a market-moving presidential announcement on the war in Iran—with billions of dollars at stake and no hedge, only to pocket hundreds of millions within minutes? The answer is obvious: an insider trader. I am calling on the SEC and CFTC to investigate what may be one of the largest insider trading cases in history.

Nice post from Arin. Raising the minimum wage in Florida, Arizona, Nebraska and Missouri led to higher wages for workers and had no measurable effect on employment arindube.substack.com/p/these-republ…

If I'm a GOP member of Congress and I'm in this table, I would be worried about re-election — especially if Trump keeps doing what he's doing and I keep voting to let him gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-07-t…

NEW @CookPolitical House ratings show Dems as substantial favorites for control, as Republicans would need to win 76% of the Toss Ups to keep their majority: cookpolitical.com/ratings/house-… Lean/Likely/Solid Dem: 213 Lean/Likely/Solid GOP: 205 Toss Up: 17

This is truly unprecedented. A vice president of the United States wading hip deep in another country's election. And he is doing it on behalf of Viktor Orban, the autocratic prime minister of Hungary, whose efforts to gut democracy there were a template for @realDonaldTrump's here.

Republican policies drive wealth and jobs out of the US. Remember this next time they criticize taxing the rich so they pay their fair share. nytimes.com/2026/04/04/bus… via @NYTimes

He has no plan. Just a few days ago he addressed the nation in prime time, saying that Hormuz would “reopen naturally”, now he’s spending Easter morning with bizarre profanity laced threats to Iranian civilian infrastructure.

When we polled 2024 Trump voters who now disapprove of the president and asked them why, the top three issues were prices/the economy, immigration, and his personality/conduct in office. We have come to expect insane tweets like this, but they are still taxing with normies

We're used to Trump-related polling movement being very glacial, but the war with Iran is *rapidly* getting more unpopular.

To sum up Trump's remarks on Iran just now: - We've decimated Iran and already won the war - It's going to continue a few more weeks - We have all the oil we need already - Gas prices are surging - The Strait of Hormuz will just open up "naturally"

Since Liberation Day, a year ago today: * US foreign direct investment is lower * US factories employ 89,000 fewer people * US goods trade deficit is UP 2% npr.org/2026/04/02/nx-…

A steady fall into the abyss for Trump's net approval, as it falls into Death Valley. He's now at a term 2 low: -18 pts. Big reason why: Independents. Trump's at -45 pts. The worst for any prez at this point in term 2. Worse than Nixon (-36 pts) at the height of Watergate!

Gallup's Quarterly Partisan Affiliation Poll Since 2020 Q2

NYC murders per year: 1955: 306 1965: 634 1975: 1645 1985: 1384 1995: 1177 2005: 539 2015: 352 2025: 303 NYC is safer now than it has been in many decades. Yet the average Boomer New Yorker will try to convince you that crime is worse now than it was in the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

We polled 5 battleground House districts over the same days with the same poll in February and March. Trump’s net approval dropped by an average of 8 points in a month- there haven’t been many times over the last decade where his numbers have dropped that much that fast

Trump hits new approval low among all adults, rounding to -21 for first time  fiftyplusone.news/polls/approval…

Mets game went to commercial and I was looking down and all of a sudden I heard a familiar, friendly voice talking. I looked up at the TV and there’s @20Hojo doing a @CarShield commercial. Well done! ispot.tv/ad/gyI4/carshi…

Donald Trump was everything Washington feared and despised could happen to the American presidency. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

@20Hojo Thanks for all those great memories. And here’s to many more!
