With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power.
The power to throw workers under the bus.
The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives.
The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings
Read TIME’s ‘What Trump Has Built’ Interview Transcript
The U.S. President discussed the war in Iran, press freedom, AI, and more ahead of the midterm elections.

How about voting intention? All videos pushed up Labour VI, but three stood out: economic power/control, water nationalisation and social care/triple lock clip, boosting it by 8-10 points!
This is *genuinely impressive* for such a test, esp in an age of cynicism to politicians.

UK bonds having a tough time today as part of a global rise in yields.
French bonds underperforming tho - unlike the UK there seems to be a clear fiscal/political risk premium building in there.
Asset swap spread and gap vs Bunds ballooning, CDS spiking (none of which really apply to the UK)
