I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

I’ve gone out of my way for years to buy Tshirts that are made in US. Do you know where you most often find them? Festivals, fairs, concerts and events run by progressives. You know where you rarely find them? Being sold by ‘America First’ influencers & companies.

Best case he turns off Apr 2nd tariffs Monday. Leaves the 10pct tariffs (not great, but realistic). Elon leaves Doge, which decides to stagger the cuts over 3 yrs, accounting for local impact.
That slows the economy, reducing interest rates, reducing payments on debt to affordable levels.
