@agnostoxxx i remember these monkeys

Remember back in January when we were supposed to liberate the Iranians and restore the “Roaring Lion”, but now we are bombing their Universities & civilian Infrastructure and the same monkeys who were supporting the former are now cheering for the latter? 🤮

I want to flag something that may have flown under the radar, but shouldn't. In December 2025, President Trump and @SecVetAffairs Doug Collins moved to ban access to abortion care at the VA, even in cases of rape, incest, or when the health of the mother is at risk. Earlier this week, the Senate voted on our bill to overturn that policy. 50 Republican Senators opposed it, meaning the abortion ban remains in effect. This threat to women's healthcare continues to be real. After losing elections in the wake of Roe falling, Republicans know that it's not politically popular to be publicly for abortion bans. So they do it just like this: quietly, in the dark of night, through bureaucratic rule-making -- hoping we won't catch it. Our veterans deserve access to abortion care. Period. And I will not stop shining the light on this and working to overturn this new ban. ms.now/news/senate-re…

@Noahpinion i've always followed u. you consistently had interesting ideas. it was worth enduring some bad political takes, cringe humor and soooo much weird rabbit porn. but lately it just seems lazy.

Yes, the lab leak theory turned out to almost certainly false.

@jdcmedlock student loans were paused, and there was a lot of talk of debt forgiveness

Here's the consumer sentiment one. College grads were 8 points above HS or less in the 2022 vibesession and they're now 8 points below.

This is a striking chart.

Israel murdered every single person in this photo today in South Lebanon. Every. Single. One. 2 journalists 7 paramedics 1 Lebanese soldier They bombed the journalists’ vehicle — then bombed them again when paramedics rushed to help.

I've returned from my month-long China trip. A big thank you to all the Chinese engineers who spent their time meeting with me. I have learned so much. I intend to return soon to learn more. My goal was to empty my cup and look at the AI + robotics ecosystem with fresh eyes. I’ve come away extremely impressed. China feels to me like a nation of engineers, contrasting with America being a nation of traders. Simultaneously, I am concerned that the world is unprepared for what is to come.

JD Vance suggests Iran could have used nuclear suicide vests in the US

Simply insane stats around wealth in America. About 75,000 households have a net worth over 100 million. Over 200,000 have a net worth over 50 million. And over 400,000 have a net worth over 30 million.

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump's post. Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

Margaret Ryan, a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s enforcement director, resigned effective last week after clashing with agency leadership over the direction of investigations, specifically those involving Donald Trump and his family, per YF

If nobody goes to jail for this, we've entered the 'every man for himself' stage of empire decline.

It’s very easy for the SEC to figure out who placed the trades. But there is no political Will to follow the money

Trump says he is waging a "war on fraud." But it's a war in which he is embracing some proven to be on the other side, so far granting clemency to more than 70 allies, donors and others convicted in fraud cases. @mattbpurdy @lukebroadwater nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

@countdraghula when somebody is pissing on me and telling me it's raining staying dry is only half the battle.

@glengarryrd It's not about cope, it's about understanding the realities of trading when the government is this important. I'm just saying it hasn't changed when in crisis or volatile periods. You can shout at the rain or just get an umbrella

GFC - will TARP pass COVID - are they shutting it down Alwayshasbeen.jpg

@countdraghula so if he cuts tariffs to 5% tomorrow via a tweet and five minutes before he tweets it out a bunch of big orders go through, in your mind that is him "massaging" markets understanding how they can get one-way? That sounds like cope to me.

There is probably an element of that but it isn't the driving reason. He needs to buy time and understands how one way markets can get. In the other cases they learned the lesson the hard way. The market would've ended the whole excursion in the first week if the weren't massaged (manipulated)

@countdraghula @foxlow nobody is arguing that corruption is new and it is always bad. But this is clear escalation and in most cases completely arbitrary.

@foxlow @glengarryrd Yes, and to add the power of the modern government is enabled by the amount of debt outstanding in the private sector. If there were less debt, we wouldn't care about them nearly as much.

@countdraghula both are bad but not close to the same. This guy is literally telling people he's about to tweet out some crazy shit. "let me know when your tickets are in so i can blast it out."

@glengarryrd Both other decisions were discretionary as well. To the unilateral claim COVID was unilateral and GFC technically wasn't but congress moves as a herd. Remember they failed to pass it the first time and then suddenly changed their minds when the market tanked

BROWDER: Lifting sanctions on Russia and Iran makes no sense. I’m a financial specialist — I’ve never seen anything so senseless. Two evil regimes, Russia and Iran, are now getting more money for their oil. Something must be going on behind the scenes. Somebody’s benefiting.
