Strong move to refocus on Epstein in order to distract from the Straight of Hormuz disaster.

A signature aspect of MAGA is they refuse to take responsibility for anything — Trump has been president for a majority of the past decade but “the government” is still some entity his administration isn’t really involved with somehow.

Jared Kushner has no security clearance, he has provided no financial disclosures, is hopelessly conflicted financially (if not in other ways too), is not Senate confirmed, and doesn’t report to anyone subject to Congressional oversight. Diplomatic mercenary.

I’m frequently disappointed in politicians but Tom Massie defied the odds in my unfortunate experiences with him, as he surpassed my lowest expectations.
This zero pretends to be a principled defender of liberty but, in the real world, he supports third-world tyranny.
Here are the receipts from a phone call I had with this zero offering him a briefing on multiple investigations he was inserting himself into by publicly commenting on them. Rather than affording the subjects of the cases their constitutional Right to due process, Massie chose to waive off the briefing and litigate it on X for clicks. Notice I tried to call him back but he wasn’t interested in facts.
It’s also of note that I never heard a single word from Massie during the process we engaged in to release the Epstein case docs. This process played out in media everywhere and yet Massie never reached out. Not once. It’s almost as if he wants to be a moron. As if ignorance is bliss for him. I’m horrified I once believed this guy was authentic.

@greggrosenthal They PAID him and he just left the team. How are they ‘holding him hostage’? Everything Simms said has been public knowledge for months.
English
there's no chance they are getting a 3rd or 4th. holding Aiyuk hostage while having a friend drag his name through the mud just makes them look small. they are very unlikely to get anything out of it
Coach Yac 🗣@Coach_Yac
Chris Simms on Brandon Aiyuk: “He screwed them over multiple times. There’s really no other way to say it. He’s done that and because of that, they’re certainly not going to be in any rush, this isn’t one of your stories 'He’s been great to us. He’s been awesome. We’re going to try and work with him and make the player happy', no this is gonna be one where they go 'We actually don’t care about the player at all', and I could see this being one where they’re waiting into training camp and some team in the playoff conversation gets an injury or they look at their roster and be like 'We don’t have a guy, hey 49ers, here’s a 3rd or a 4th rounder for Brandon Aiyuk'.”

The heads of the major AI labs, as well as many major AI engineers, are on X and podcasts all day long screaming "THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL TAKE YOUR JOB!!! YOU WILL NOT HAVE A JOB, BECAUSE OF THE PRODUCT I AM INVENTING NOW!!!"
What the fuck do you expect people to think???

How will voters react to the prospect of AI-driven job losses? There's two parts to this question: (1) How will actual job displacement occur (2) How will people perceive it, separate from the reality The second turns out to be crucial because, as Stigler long ago pointed out, we see links between economic performance and voting that far out-strip actual aggregate changes in employment. That is, the changes in votes are larger than the changes in jobs directly---so it's not literally the people being displaced driving the political change, necessarily. It's everyone else too and their perceptions, concerns, values. Because of this, it's really hard to predict how things will play out. In an old paper we wrote, we found that people whose homes were foreclosed on during the subprime crisis didn't become politically activated--actually, they turned out less, and their areas didn't punish incumbents (but may eventually have become more Trumpy). Right now, politicians are starting to play with how to exploit the issue. It's not super clear yet whether/where they'll gain traction, and the extent to which they do will probably depend heavily on whether people start to perceive AI as having noticeable effects on the economy as a whole. @davidshor 's polling suggests these concerns are very much at play in the electorate today. In parallel to the excellent work @alexolegimas and @soumitrashukla9 and others are doing on the realities of job displacement, we'll need to do a lot more work to understand how these politics will play out. Some basic questions: --Will people's perceptions end up being driven more by the local conditions in their area or in their profession? Or more based on national, macro-economic forces? Or in the language of Alex and Soumitra's post, will it be the truckers who mobilize, or the consultants, or someone else? --Will there be a clear partisan split where one party is perceived as stronger on this issue? Right now there are politicians in both parties exploring how to frame it. The Dems should have a structural advantage as the party currently out of power, but that can change quickly. Important and fertile ground for political econ folks interested in the links between AI, the economy, and politics!

@Tonysmarkettips It was bad business to trade an elite guy in his early prime at a premium position. Delusional to think he was easily replaceable in some way. It’s hindsight to say ‘if they took Wirfs’
English
If the 49ers had drafted Tristan Wirfs or CeeDee Lamb instead of Kinlaw, people would stop talking about how bad a mistake trading Deforest Buckner was.
The mistake wasn’t the trade. The mistake was a lack of self awareness to realize how bad they are at drafting in Round 1.

@richjmadrid_ @Tonysmarkettips That’s a bad take man. A team can’t win that many playoff and reg season games with a bad QB regardless of roster and coach. He was solid and couldn’t stay healthy.

@Tonysmarkettips He was never good and had his held by Shanahan

What’s the official explanation for how Jimmy Garoppolo went from throwing 27 TD and playing in the Super Bow to backup QB who has thrown 9 TD and 10 INT in the last 3 years?

Don’t worry, America!
Your gas prices are going up — but Trump is making lots of money.
So it’s ok.

@LombardiHimself None of that talent includes being able to actually play

Ricky Pearsall, Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing, and a potential 2026 draftee.
49ers have some talented young WR. Can’t think of anything better for their development than inserting Mike Evans’ HOF wealth of knowledge into that meeting room

@LombardiHimself ? Extremely likely they get a 3rd round comp pick here David

So Philadelphia loses Jaelan Phillips. They gave up a third-down pick for him in a season that ended in a home wild-card loss to the 49ers

Sources: Jaelan Phillips has agreed to a 4-year, $120 million deal with the Carolina Panthers with $80M in guarantees.

Don't always love "if you're so smart, why aren't you making bets?", but it's appropriate here. Are you making investments based on your decidedly contrarian hypothesis that "within days" we will "100% control" the oil supply in the Strait of Hormuz? You could make a killing!
Charles Gasparino@CGasparino
As someone who has covered markets for years, I will say this. commodity traders, like equity traders (in the words of a smart bond trader I know) are "imbeciles." They trade off headlines, totally myopic in short-term thinking and predicting. They always screw up what's actually going down, never seeing around corners. It was the case in the run up to the 2008 where there was more than a few market "rallies" before the whole market blew up. This oil price spike has the same feel to it. It's not considering that within days we will 100% control the supply of oil coming out of the Straits of Hurmuz, or that Iran will be 100 decapitated as a military force and a financier of terror. There will be a peace dividend to all of that. Meanwhile buckle up as the Karens who control oil prices have their say, at least for now wsj.com/livecoverage/i…

@NateSilver538 @jbarro Right, but Trump clearly feels the opposite. That’s the point.

There's a war in thr Middle East that 1) is the least popular war ever as of when it was launched and 2) is projected to spike gas prices to $4.50-$5/gallon. It's more important than the 500th news cycle on the fucking Epstein files AND a bigger political liability for Trump.
