Tried and failed to write a funny post mocking @MLB.com for mooning over the @Dodgers hiring a trumpet player to welcome their hired-gun closer into his first game.
So let's just say "been there, done that."

The market's resilience will be tested next week, when issuers are planning a robust slate of more than $14 billion of new-issues. Check out the full Weekly Update on BAM's YouTube page: youtu.be/EdoCwLYWbkM

I asked AI: "How did BAM perform this week?"
BAM insured $712 million of new-issue hashtag#municipalbonds for 29 issuers from 15 states. The highlight of the week was Tuesday, when Bam scored 83 points against the Washington Wizards, the second-highest point total in NBA history
BAM Mutual@BAMutual
BAM insured more than $712 million of new-issue #municipalbonds in a heavy week for the primary market: Issuers capitalized on continuing solid demand ahead of any disruptions from the next FOMC meeting or tax-selling that could pressure mutual fund cash flows.

No gloves, no hat, light jacket …. Just me out here Manifesting Spring.
You’re welcome.

BAM's Grant Dewey explains how "sustained investor demand" helped drive yields on long-term #municipalbonds lower this week ... and what issuers are doing to take advantage of those trends.

@jmp_nyc @JuliaManhattan Yeah, I was surprised by that at the time — but here, I’m just replying to Julia’s initial contention that the tone and content of *this interview* is unprecedented.
English
@MikeStanton2012 @JuliaManhattan At a minimum, the latter is a deviation from norms.
LaGuardia, Lindsay, Koch, Giuliani, and Bloomberg attended the investitures of Spellman, Cooke, O’Connor, Egan, and Dolan. Of those mayors, only Giuliani was Catholic.
English
This is unprecedented, no? In my lifetime no nyc mayor has been attacked by the archbishop of New York. And, of course, Mayor Koch & Cardinal Dolan were buddies.
Christopher Hale@ChristopherHale
NEW: Cardinal Dolan accuses the Trump-Vance ICE of “targeting, harassing, and going into” Catholic parishes. He called it a major violation of religious liberty.
English
@jmp_nyc @JuliaManhattan And I'm surprised there wasn't more detail. Specifically: A) Does he believe Mamdani intentionally omitted him from the inauguration? and/or
B) Did Mamdani turn down an invite to the investiture?
English
@jmp_nyc @JuliaManhattan But not sure it's a complete departure from past protocol -- he catches himself and tries to be constructive about some Mamdani policies later in the answer.

@IvanTheK @andrewrsorkin Fair enough, but I still enjoyed watching the live on-air disemboweling.
English
@andrewrsorkin CNBC prominently puts research analysts' detailed conflicts on screen. You should do the same when former politicians are being paid as lobbyists for the topics they're opining on.
(I know you mentioned it in passing, but that highlights the need to emphasize it.)
English
@ron_fournier Surprised AOC made the follow-up call: Nothing there that @Kellen_Browning didn't cover in the original article, which I read as pretty fair and balanced.
So by complaining that people are over-playing the Taiwan and TPP flubs, you end up spotlighting them. 🤷♂️

@USANetwork why did you run the 5th end in the women’s curling match twice?

Snarky, but fair question … & credit to @KathyHochul for a really solid answer!
The fact that her Lt. Gov. is ambitious is a lot of things (awkward, at the very least) … but it isn’t a knock on her selection process: She picked someone who was ready for the job if needed!
Luke Radel@lukeradel
WATCH: @KathyHochul introduces her running mate @AdrienneEAdams ahead of tomorrow’s statewide Democratic convention in Syracuse. I asked why voters should believe her latest choice for Lt. Governor is the right one, after two previous picks went south. “Three times the charm!”

Yields in #muniland were stable despite a flood of macro headlines this week, ultimately benefitting from a light calendar and continued strong mutual fund cash flows.

Just arrived, 16 minutes late. No explanation or apology on board.

Any updates on what’s delaying Train 4608, @MetroNorth? We’ve been passed by the locals behind us, with no information provided on board.
The delay continues to mount in TrainTime.

Thanks to everyone in the muni market who helped drive a second consecutive year of record investments in essential infrastructure.
We’re proud of the role @BAMutual played in making that happen for our 6K+ member-issuers, and look forward to keeping up the pace in 2026!
English
51 weeks of the year, “BAM Wrapped” is an adjective, referring to the guarantee that stands behind our $135B+ of insured #muniland bonds.
But this week, we turned it into a noun, and took a fun look back at the content and interactions we had with the market all year. (1/2)

Thank you for learning, watching, and growing with BAM in 2025. Here’s to more #BAMCreditInsights in 2026!
