... Japanese foreign exchange intervention typically involves selling US securities to buy Yen, potentially adding yield pressures to an already sensitive Treasury market. #economy #markets #japan #yen #bonds #yields

The protestor is yelling 'HE SUES HIS PATIENTS', which tells me that the New York Times story on about Sen. Roger Marshall suing his patients - and some of them winding up in jail - has broken through in Kansas.

a protester interrupts JD Vance's speech in Kansas. Can anybody tell what he was yelling? I can't quite make it out (sounds like it was something about Roger Marshall)

And this is happening now with a yes man as treasury sec and a president that wants to protect his own holdings and has no clue.

It had nothing to do with crypto, that was just the means to pay the bribes

Trump “reported more crypto-related income last year than any publicly traded US digital-asset company earned.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

What does "at birth, owes allegiance solely to this country" even mean? That the baby knows its allegiance is to the United States?

And 5-4 on the question of whether the Constitution settles it? (w/ Kavanaugh) What are we even doing here?

He is just a mean idiot

FAZZOLARI: “.. It’s unclear whether he’s intentionally or ineptly ruining the historic relations between the United States and Europe. .. “.. he’s succeeded in the not-easy task of making the United States unpopular throughout Europe ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

(NYT) - A federal judge in Washington ruled on Friday that President Trump’s name was illegally added to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, writing that the law establishing the center made “crystal clear” that only Congress could change it. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

What does that even mean?

Stephen Miller: "Based on what I've heard, we could balance the federal budget if the only dollars that went out of the treasury went to individuals who were properly, lawfully, correctly eligible to receive them"

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Trump’s ex-wife Ivana wasn’t an American citizen until 1988. She gave birth to Don Junior in 1977, Ivanka in 1981, and Eric in 1984. — Let’s cancel their birthright citizenship first.

Article I, section 7, clause 1 No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law But sure, go ahead.

Breaking news: The White House is weighing unilateral action to pay TSA officers if Senate Democrats and Republicans cannot quickly agree to a deal on the DHS’s budget. The move would sidestep Congress as millions of travelers face record delays.

This does not translate well for current AI company valuations

Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social

I find this chart by Anthropic about theoretical vs. actual AI usage, from @pbump.com's latest newsletter, very funny, and I think it's worth explaining why, and also please push back on any of this if you disagree, as I may write about it in the future. 🧵

This answer - from one of the president’s key economic advisors - is disgraceful. And, fwiw, the number for tariff pass through is closer to 94-96 percent

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hassett on new study from NY Fed showing 90% of tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms & consumers: "The paper is an embarrassment. It's I think the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Fed system. The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined."

Rather than trying to shrink “If so, they will more fully appreciate why the Founding Fathers made free speech the first Amendment in the Bill of Rights!”
