The truth is, both the U.S. economy and labor market are weak. The only thing strong is inflation. Tariffs will only increase the pain for consumers. The Fed can't fight stagflation. I think it’ll pick employment, but rising inflation will increase unemployment despite rate cuts.

A Bitcoin strategic reserve would be the ultimate taxpayer boondoggle—worse than the 2008 bank bailouts. Leaving the American public as involuntary bagholders in the Bitcoin pyramid scheme would be a new low in American politics that confirms our Founding Fathers' worst fears.

Lindsey Graham I must admit, it increasingly feels like Lindsay Graham runs the Trump presidency/administration.

Woeful coverage: doesn’t discuss the “dead hand” reference, which is an automated defensive counter strike in the event of a U.S. attack. Implies that Russia threatened the attack. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/a…

‼️ American Exceptionalist Delusions Run Amok Marco Rubio: "I don’t think there’s any doubt that from a conventional military capability the Russians could not take on the United States or frankly many of the countries in Europe, for that matter." ⏬

If the United States and its impotent NATO vassals attempt to take on Russia in its own neighborhood, the war will not look like what we have seen in Ukraine. The US would attempt to fight according to its archaic maneuver doctrines — and they would be mercilessly slaughtered.

In their initial attempts to establish air superiority, the US would lose dozens of aircraft in the first few days. US bases in the region would be defenseless against Russian missile strikes. US missile ships and subs in the region would be attacked.

On the ground, US forces would be chewed up by superior Russian firepower. Casualties would number in the thousands per day. It would cause an acute crisis in the White House, Capitol Hill, and the Pentagon — and THAT is where and when the nuclear war risk would arise.

Dagny Taggart That is true; the only public comment on the matter was from Fyodor Lukyanov, a Russian journalist and political commentator: 👇

Will Schryver I agree with the above analysis, but I needed to verify whether Secretary Rubio made the statement mentioned in the discussion (state.gov/releases/offic…). As noted in the analysis, expressing such an opinion is quite undiplomatic, especially during such a tense period: 👇

Trump's claim that the U.S. is getting rich off tariffs is false. Paying taxes doesn't make us rich. Taxes merely redistribute wealth, they don't create it. The tariffs the U.S. government has been collecting were paid by U.S. companies and consumers.

Krystal Ball I do not disagree with your point, Krystal, but I would like to add that what these podcasters are essentially doing is not reporting on domestic sentiment; rather, they are constantly instructing their audience on what to think and believe. Simple pod-propagandist.

NOT COMING SOON: I have just realized a functional idea for an innovative addition to the existing economic structure that would eventually but permanently retire the economic boom-bust cycle, effectively control inflation, and unleash exponential economic and industrial growth
