And while gold is selling off hard, so far, the price range where the US wasn't actively trying to take Greenland from NATO and where Japan didn't publicly announce a plan to blow out its deficit even more is a buy zone for the market.

Not sure it's a good thing that the Japanese 40-year has 4% in range and the US 30-year can see the TACO Trump number of 5% over the horizon

I feel like trump voters are beginning to realize there isn't some grand ending here. It's just national suicide and not everyone is down with that
Remarkable: 55% of noncollege whites and even 50% of rural whites say ICE is too aggressive, per new Fox News poll.
And 71% of independents disapprove of Trump on immigration.
This is digging deep into Trump's base.
We detail these numbers on today's pod:

Trump Tirade over Protests Goes Off Rails as Crushing Fox Poll Hits
As Trump grows more delusional about how hated his ICE raids have become, a longtime pro-immigrant organizer explains why this may be a watershed moment in terms of public opinion on the issue.

Everywhere you look these days you can find a Republican who has been shamelessly violating Biggie's 4th Crack Commandment

Bad Bunny is an American treasure
Bad Bunny with a powerful anti-ICE speech at the Grammys 🔥🔥🔥🔥
"Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ‘ICE out.’ We’re not savages, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens. We are humans and we are Americans."

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

Any serious reckoning of Obama’s legacy is going to have to grapple with the fact that Summers held a position of influence in the administration for years.
Larry Summers, seen here somehow managing to have the worst gender politics in the room while in a one on one conversation with JEFFREY FUCKING EPSTEIN.

Someone paying $55k for dinner with Bari Weiss is one of the clearest examples of how taxes on the wealthy are criminally low
Bari Weiss attended a fundraiser last night in NYC, attendee tells me. There was an auction item for dinner with her and wife Nellie Bowles. Several people cheered in approval, many others said after how gross it was. Bari shouted out “And you can make out with Nellie!” It ultimately sold for $55k.

And most of the major media did not take it as seriously as they should have because they were also often ridiculed by Gawker etc. An entire century thus far of reactionary politics from people getting owned online.
we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

Kind of think this wipeout is a continuation of metals yesterday. Lotta degenerates were longing silver cuz they got sick of BTC lagging, and the way you have to understand crypto is through leverage. The reason it goes up and down so much is because people take on debt to long
