As an institution, the New York Times has failed. This excellent thread by Michael Hobbes takes apart today's NYT editorial urging democracy defenders to mind their manners as they oppose Trump. NYT seems to hold out hope that lavender oatmilk lattes will be served in the journalist detention camps.

Why on earth would a protest movement against the worst president in US history begin by acknowledging that he's not so bad www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/o...

The board has been an egregious rubber stamp for his heinous hijinks and lack of — wait for it — new innovative cars people want to buy. He’s kicked his consumers — mostly liberal and Democratic — repeatedly in the nuts too and blames George Soros for his own mess. Its board is to blame.

“It’s amazing that others in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science. It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and RFK Jr, very fast.” — Seth Rogen’s censored remarks presenting the Breakthrough Prize

Our best leverage as individuals against the criminal regime in El Salvador is with our wallets. Their exports of textiles to the US are huge - we just need to check the label. If you see the picture below, don’t buy it! And tell the manufacturers (Hanes, Fruit of the Loom) they’re shut off too!

"First, Trump is perfectly willing to destroy the economy as he awaits political favors. After all, it’s not him suffering the consequences of a cratering economy. Second, while Tim Cook can afford to pay him off, it’s the mom & pop shops that can’t petition the king for carveouts being sacrificed."

It has been 18 days since we learned that those involved in Signalgate recklessly endangered the lives of American pilots. The fact that there has been no Congressional investigation is an abomination. This should outrage every single Member of Congress.

Every Democrat should back @schiff.senate.gov and demand an investigation. Do what Republicans do: flood cable news, light up social & drop every detail you’ve got. Republicans won’t hold hearings? Fine—hold your own. Do it in red districts. Live stream it and we’ll make it go viral.

New on @MSNBC: The White House will not release the list of 75 countries that have reached out on trade deals, despite requests from NBC News.

A thought about the fact that Trump is considering exempting some companies from tariffs. When asked how he will determine that, his response: Instinctively OUR response must be a no holds barred boycott of any company that kisses the ring. They can pick a side: America or Trump, can't have both.

Hey everyone Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Waltz, Marco Rubio and JD Vance endangered our service members by discussing war plans on an illegal Signal chat that was so insecure that a reporter from the Atlantic read the whole thing as it happened. They all need to resign. #SignalGate

Dear World, I’m an American. I apologize to you all that we put a thoroughly bad, cruel, ignorant madman back in the White House. Many, many Americans apologize. Don’t appease him, don’t coddle him. Stand up to him & punch back at his stupidity. Best, An Anti-Trump American

We’re launching a new DNC War Room. We are going to compete in every information space and put Trump and the Republicans on the defense every day. At this very moment, Trump is actively wrecking our country. He can’t go unchallenged.

Let’s keep in mind that 3 Supreme Court justices who often rule to increase the would-be dictator’s powers were chosen by the would-be dictator, who is also a convicted felon. This court is compromised. We can hope it will eventually say no to authoritarianism, but in any case it’s compromised.

Don't be surprised if the "concessions" Donald Trump is looking for from foreign countries in exchange for dialing back tariffs are not "you need to buy more pork from American farmers" but "you need to lease another floor in Trump Tower for ten years."

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again
