@ewong @RushDoshi “Asking” , not “demanding “ as the FT reported in their headline. They’re as bad as the Times

The mission: “Open up” China to more commerce with the US. It’s the language of 1990s-style engagement.

@CaitlinPacific She’s noble

And it is I, Hannah Einbinder who stands alone against this horror.

@Saganismm Untrue. Very few are shocked by logical inconsistencies and generalizing about intellectuals like this is unsound.

“Intellectuals are the kind of people who demand evidence and are shocked by logical inconsistencies and fallacies. They regard over-simplification as the original sin of the mind and have no use for the slogans, the unqualified assertions and the sweeping generalizations which are the propagandist’s stock in trade.” — Aldous Huxley

@DeItaone Party line vote?

SENATE CONFIRMS KEVIN WARSH TO FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD IN 51-45 VOTE

@libertarianism Hero. This kid goes on my short list.

By the time Helmuth Hübener turned eight years old, Hitler had come to power and eliminated democratic freedoms. Within weeks of taking office, the Nazi regime issued the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the German People, suspending civil liberties like freedom of speech and assembly. Sixteen-year-old Hübener decided to wage his own information war against Hitler’s propaganda machine. He summarized BBC broadcasts and disseminated what he heard alongside his own scathing commentary on the Nazi regime. It was an incredibly dangerous idea; distributing anti-Nazi flyers was a treasonous activity. For months, the Gestapo investigated the anti-Hitler leaflets, but they had no leads on who was behind them. Unfortunately, as their operation expanded, so did the risk of exposure. In 1942, after a colleague betrayed Hübener, a court sentenced him to death by beheading.

@BrianAcity @tylercowen Don’t forget the ever increasing money supply

We’ve had war in the Middle East, unpredictable tariffs, and stubborn inflation, among other headwinds—yet U.S. stock prices keep climbing. The S&P 500 has now recovered every Iran-related loss and is up more than 15 percent since late March. As Tyler Cowen notes here, the market is registering something the headlines often ignore: the deep, structural resilience of the American economy. Innovation, capital markets, and entrepreneurial momentum have a mind of their own!

@TheGladiatorHC @Eagleresa I think Gundlach adjusted that percentage downwards a few weeks back.

Andy Schectman, a leading precious metal investor says the insider money is quietly moving. BofA's Hartnett tells investors to forget stocks and bonds, commodities are the best trade for the rest of the decade. BlackRock, just dropped the 60-40 portfolio and is rotating into gold miners, copper, uranium, and energy. Gundlach, the bond king, says 25% in precious metals isn't overweight.

@Marxinne1818 @mattvanswol Why racist? The guy happens to be black. No one said anything racist that I see. The racism is in your head.

Her name was Isabella Stroupe. She was 19. She loved books. Her family called her Bella. She was tied to a bed with a tow strap and tortured for months in an east Charlotte NC apartment. Multiple broken bones. St*b wounds. R*ped repeatedly. Her mother said she screamed and screamed when she found out. Thomaz Hamilton, a violent repeat offender is charged with first-degree m*rder and first-degree r*pe. Months. She was alive in there for months. Say her name. Isabella Stroupe. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

@inimitablepgw Language driven. Not a question.

Curious how others see it: Is the humour in Wodehouse character-driven, or language-driven?

@MilkRoadMacro I can understand doing it with other countries, but I don’t see how that makes any sense with the U.S. We’re at war. Why is it necessary or desirable to warn a country you are at war with?

@RichardKlein75 They do this with every ship attempting to cross. If they don't have permission, Iran warns the vessel to turn back around.

SUMMARY OF WAR RELATED EVENTS TODAY: 1. Two Iranian missiles struck a US warship. 2. The US denied this claim. 3. The US initiated 'Project Freedom' which guides commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. 4. CENTCOM announced that 2 US-flagged vessels have passed Hormuz. 5. UAE issues missile alert in Dubai after Iran launches new drone attacks at the UAE. 6. Brent crude oil surged up to $119/barrel.

@vtchakarova Who is he saying this to?

Good luck! This must be coordinated between Trump and Xi first and foremost.

@sailwriter2 @partners_road Wonderful fantasy.

But Griffin may not leave. A deal Hochul may have been struck where Griffin gets Hochul elected and in exchange she forces Mandami to resign. Griffin stays, a special election is called and NYC gets to reverse MANDAMI & the DEBLASIO DAMAGE in one move. Griffin will become an expressive NYC resident as he will be in NY more than half the year anyway to build the business. Hochul and the traditional Dem party sees this as the opportunity to remove the Social Dems from NYS and then other cities. It also ends AOC’s run for President. Schumer although a schmuck is onboard. It’s like ripping the weed out by the roots. Leaving a fresh garden with a : Win for Hochul Win for Griffin HUGE win for NYC NYS & USA.

Hochul: “They’ll never leave.” Mamdani: “They’ll never leave.” In NYC, there are 1,532 luxury units priced at $4 million and above actively on the market, with 86 new listings added just last week (Apr 25 – May 1). They’re leaving.

@Mohsen_Taheri_4 @SecScottBessent Funny

@SecScottBessent Iranians are living in a new era, Scott Look 👇

Amid the impact of Economic Fury, Iran’s currency has hit an all-time low. The Iranian people deserve a new era, which the corrupt and shambolic Iranian regime cannot provide. With their oil industry closing and their currency plummeting, it is past time for the Iranian regime to concede that the people of Iran deserve much better than the ruins of their current regime can provide.

@SecScottBessent They’ll never concede anything. They are fanatics. They are going to have to be forced. Hopefully by the Iranian people supported by other Arab states. And the US. And clandestinely, by Israel.

@isaacrrr7 This woman is deranged

Un ejecutivo fue despedido en EEUU luego de que su esposa lanzara insultos antisemitas y se burlara de la hija de su vecino judío, quien fue asesinada mientras servía en la fuerza policial fronteriza israelí. Mark Bouzyk, cofundador y director científico de AllaiHealth, fue despedido de su empresa después de que las imágenes del discurso de su esposa se volvieran virales. Anna Bouzyk fue grabada gritándole a su vecino David Lubin. La sargento Elisheva Lubin, de 20 años, fue asesinada a puñaladas por un musulmán de 16 años mientras patrullaba la Ciudad Vieja de Jerusalén en noviembre de 2023. Elisheva, ciudadana estadounidense, creció en Georgia, se mudó a Israel en agosto de 2021 y comenzó su servicio militar obligatorio en marzo de 2022. David Lubin estaba colocando pegatinas en su honor en su vecindario de Dunwoody, Georgia, cuando fue agredido.

@Neccccy No. Arrest him and prosecute him. The cops should be arrested for this

Do you think the police were right to do this to a terrorist with a knife who had just stabbed 2 people? Yes or No?

@RJefferies5078 @RyanAFournier I know plenty of us who “get” Trump and appreciate a lot if not all of what he is doing and has done.

@RyanAFournier He's not a New Yorker. Trump is a real New Yorker. I don't understand why you New Yorkers hate Trump and love this Ugandan juvenile and made him your mayor. It makes no sense to me. What is the matter with you people?

@VividProwess Yes

Israel is preparing mass trials for 350 terrorists involved in the October 7 massacre. A special facility near Jerusalem will be used. Many of the charges carry the death penalty. Are you in favor of Israel imposing the death penalty on terrorists?
