The 10-year Treasury yield has been telling a story lately.
The story is that Kevin Hassett is expected to be a reliable licker of Donald Trump's boots.
The bond market really doesn't give a damn about the stupid things Trump or Hassett say. It simply focuses on the inevitable consequences.

Watch Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.2.1 swerve out of the plowed road into an icy patch, and then back and forth until it eventually loses traction.

Tesla Optimus robot takes a suspicious tumble in new demo
Tesla Optimus robot takes a suspicious tumble in new demo
A new video surfacing from a Tesla demonstration in Miami this weekend shows the Optimus humanoid robot taking a nasty fall. But it’s not the fall itself that is raising eyebrows, it’s the specific hand movements the robot made on its way down, which strongly suggest it was mimicking a remote operator frantically removing a VR headset.

There’s a reason he pulled Optimus out his buttocks just as growth at Tesla went to zero, and there a reason why he’s forcing the “robotaxi” pump out now.
Yes SpaceX needs the cash, but I think the IPO news is awful for Tesla. In part because it will bleed off some of the moron shareholders over to SpaceX, but more for the signalling value. I think 2026 could be a total shitshow for $TSLA and he needs a liferaft.

At that point, what would be the correct protocol for surrender? Would they need to get back into the water?
WELKER: Lawmakers say the 2 men appeared to raise their arms potentially to surrender. Why did Admiral Bradley interpret these actions as anything other than them trying to survive?

BASH: The president said very clearly this week he doesn't want Somali immigrants in America. He called them 'garbage.' Is that the real reason this operation is happening?

A neat thing about birthright citizenship is how it tests whether a person cares at all about the Constitution. There's no argument against it, birthright citizenship is the unambitious text, the obvious intent of the drafters, and the undisputed way it was followed for the past 150+ years.
I continue to think that Matty coming out against birthright citizenship a few months ago should have been taken as a major warning sign that the group chats have already decided to surrender on this.
