New: Trump called crypto "thin air." Last year, he reported $1.4 billion in income from it.
Buyers of his crypto? They're an estimated $4.7 billion underwater.

📈 Play as Trump: you cannot lose money.

‘THIN AIR,’ REAL MONEY — The Trump Crypto Game
An 8-bit game about real money. Play as Trump: you only make money. Play as an investor: you only lose. Every figure is drawn from Public Citizen's report and the sources it cites.

Sheer lunacy.
Among the many crazy things Trump has said in the last 48 hours, the threat to deploy the military to "fix" the bond market is the most worrisome. As usual, major US media has decided to simply ignore it. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/tru...
Trump Suggests He Can Use the Military on Bond Markets: ‘If We Have To Use That, We Will’
Trump was asked by a reporter whether he had directed Bessent to intervene in the bond market and what other options were on the table.

This hits me hard. It hits Texans hard. Big Bend is our Eden. These fuckers.
Mike Davidson, a tour guide in Big Bend, told Newsweek; "They might as well send a bulldozer through the graveyard where my parents are buried or something like that. It hits me very strongly."

Insane self-blinding of the US. They are throwing away their investment in the ocean observation system and the benefits it provides.
The only explanation I can think of: they don’t want the people to know what their fossil emissions are doing to our oceans.

Instead, he chose this.

Oh. My. God. This is despicable.
Kash Patel went snorkeling around the sunken hull of the USS Arizona, a battleship that still houses the remains of over 900 Americans killed during Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Not even the families of those killed are allowed to do what he did.

My latest @nytimes.com oped shows that the White House is dramatically understating the cost of the war in Iran.
By my calculations—and I show my work—this war will cost the typical American family thousands, and it could cost them tens of thousands.

Two facts worth considering:
1. The Fed is projecting GDP growth of 1.4% this year
2. Nearly every time growth has slowed to this rate, the economy stalls, and a recession follows
