Comparatively, the US National Weather Service's Global Forecast System model, which is based on traditional physics and runs on powerful supercomputers, performed rather poorly.

Google’s new hurricane model was breathtakingly good this season

Meanwhile, the US Global Forecasting System continues to get worse.

If the SCOTUS does rule that Trump's massive tax hikes (aka tariffs) are illegal, you're going to see equities markets explode.

They should also refund all the tariffs they've collected if SCOTUS deems they were collected illegally.

'Supreme Court justices appear skeptical that Trump tariffs are legal.'

'Conservative and liberal justices sharply questioned Solicitor General D. John Sauer on the Trump administration’s legal justification of the tariffs, which critics say infringes on the power of Congress to tax.'

President Donald Trump calls the Supreme Court case on his tariffs a matter of "life or death" for the United States.

Yeah but they’ve also shorted a lot of other equities and lost their asses doing it.

I don’t think the bubble pops until the first CEO says they’re scaling back spending on AI due to negative (or sluggish) ROI in an earnings call.

We also have two wildly popular Democrat U.S. Senators.

Not sure about the rest of the Deep South, but Georgia isn’t fucking around.

Minor wobble. It’ll be back up by week’s end.

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

They just elected two Democrats in GEORGIA. Statewide election. In a landslide.

The MAGA brand is not just toxic to Northeast urbanites, it’s toxic to everyone, even in the deep south.

The "why do you care so much about the NY mayoral election" takes strike me as pretty obtuse. The world's sole superpower is being taken over by fascists, and this was part of the struggle to define what the opposition to that will look like. That obviously has major implications for all of us?

Please tell your Senate colleagues that this is exactly the absolute worst time to cave to the GOP on vague promises of a theoretical vote on ACA subsidies.

Swing state and district Republicans are going to be scared. Bad move that crushes last night's high.
