I think today’s sell was more about shit positioning by retail and big unwinds happening, than it was about real shift in policy.

Trump has sent the National Guard to Chicago and Portland under the guise of protecting DHS agents from threats that don't exist. With this new guidance, it appears FPS agents (who are able to call on ICE, CBP, etc for backup at any time) have been empowered to do their own "protecting."

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property

In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

Long California, and screw you NIMBYs

MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.

It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.

Thank you, Governor!

Sora 2 seems to encourage people to make fun of each other. It's also attracting a lot of teenage boys. This could be a nightmare for Sam Altman.
