Charts and thoughts on markets. Currently IFR Markets/LSEG previously Reuters.

If you were ever in doubt about the fundamentally grift-based approach of far right "patriotic" streamers, having failed to persuade the Daily Mail to buy his mum a new house after they revealed what town she lives in, 'Danny Tommo' has raised *£60,000* from followers to give her a "fresh start".

America is weird because we have a free press but also an authoritarian government and so we learn in pretty close to real time the shit that is not revealed in other authoritarian settings until decades later.
MS NOW EXCLUSIVE:

The Secret Service felt pressure from the Trump admin to surveil James Comey.

Documents detail worries about the legality of the directive to surveil Comey — including surreptitiously tracking Comey's phone without a warrant — in the wake of his 'seashells' photo.
