1. Here's an economic indicator that we don't hear much about but, as a Bankruptcy attorney, I've found it to be highly predictive of an economic down-turn. For all his insanity, Trump's attacks on the Fed, IMO, are driven by this statistic.
2. Had the Trump @GOP Tax ripoff moved money into the pockets of American workers this trend would be up. But he simply gave people who are already rich and own plenty of homes a bonus for supporting a racist sociopath. This trend will not only wipe out Trump's reelection chances
3. but, if @TheDemocrats play this right, after @POTUS Trump is exposed as a fake rich guy and a tax cheat, the workers who vote will turn on the Kremlin front @SenateGOP@HouseGOP in a historic landslide because they can't buy a house
4. to raise their family all because a grotesque racist fake rich guy with fake hair and a fake orange spray-tan gave away their family's future. 😎

If Trump abandons our Ukrainian allies and instead takes the side of a monster charged with crimes against humanity he risks being charged. His break with our allies means he can't rely on Rome Statute signatories violating their obligation to honor an ICC warrant if he travels.
If Trump finally woke up to the risks that he faces that John Robert's absurd immunity decision can't remedy, he will wisely leave Putin to his fate. With Trump hemorrhaging support within his base, he can't afford to look like a traitor, especially while he allows a drunken
popinjay to destroy our DOD and leak our secrets. Xi is calling out Trump's lies about talks demanding Trump face humiliation by terminating his China tariffs as a condition to talks. Ship sailings from China are down 60% meaning in just weeks US store shelves will be empty.
El Salvadore is a signatory of the Rome Treaty. Is Bukele conspiring with a non-member to violate Rome Statute? Could that be jurisdictional hook to permit @ICC to charge, Bukele, Trump, Vance, Noem, Steven Miller, Pam Bondi, @PressSec, Musk and creepy ICE guy?
SCOTUS 9-0 says Trump is breaking the law and the Constitution. But they don't have the power to force him to stop. If Trump and every Cabinet head involved gets an international arrest warrant if they don't resign, that might shut Trump down. Rome Statute:
The Kremlin continues to push a false narrative about Ukrainian forces remaining in the Kursk region when Ukraine fully withdrew over two weeks ago. It's possible a few reconisance units remain but even that is unlikely. So why the big lie?
My initial thought was Putin was trying to keep the Russian population engaged in his patriotic war to defend the Motherland, but I'm moving away from this propaganda motive to one of greater concern.
If the Project Owl data is accurate (and I believe it is) Putin may be preparing a spring offensive and the objective is Kyiv. Here is the current map showing all Ukrainian forces have withdrawn and have also left the border thinly defended
I've seen some recent posts that claim that Musk has used his Tesla shares as collateral in large loans to finance his other operations. If that is true, it's possible that Tesla share's slide has put him at risk of a default that could mean he loses everything in an instant.
I think Tesla is now domiciled in Texas and if that is so the lenders would likely have control agreements in place with Tesla that requires them to follow the lenders' instructions in the event of a default, What we need to know is, what are the loan covenants?
If there is a price floor that the lenders can call the loan or require additional collateral then, as Musk continues destroy the Tesla brand, that he has rebranded as a Nazi front, the price will slide to a point that shareholders begin to panic and sell to keep from being
The @GOP will collapse on itself when Trump reveals he's precisely who we thought he was: Putin's stooge and the enemy of democracy. Shun those who would cede US power and moral authority to a defeated degenerate Russian mass murderer.
First, everyone must cut the cord and destroy @FoxNews and the other propaganda organs the cable industry forces us to subsidize. Listen to @MSNBC on @tunein until the network is free from the burden of subsidizing the corporate enemies of democracy. Prepare to cut the cord.
@FoxNews @MSNBC @tunein A cheap antena gets most local stations. With their revenue in peril the cable industry will be forced to terminate Fox's and other propagandist subsidies we're forced to pay. If we don't have the will to perform these small acts of resistance, then we are already defeated.
Everyone calls Musk the richest person in the world because it's easy to count his @tesla shares and multiply them by the share price. But that doesn't mean Musk has the most cash or that he could ever realize
the cash value because, to do it, he'd have to sell shares and the price would fall. Wealth is a term that needs definition. Owning a load of land in a country like Germany might make one "wealthy" but the taxes and
limits on alienation might make it difficult to turn the wealth into cash. Do we really think Musk is wealthier than the Saudi royals? Remember when Musk bought Twitter? I had a few shares so I got the SEC-mandated
