It's already bad. Starting today, it's going to get much, much worse. And based on historical precedent, it's probably going to be an absolute disaster before it starts getting better.

I love when the members of Congress - both Dems and Republicans - about things like whether ICE should have to use judicial warrants or be banned from deporting citizens like they're new.
These things are already the law! ICE just isn't following the law.

Rep. Mark Harris: "Some of these things are nonstarters. Having judicial warrants? To me, hat's a nonstarter. Being able to make off their mask, putting them at risk? That's a nonstarter. I would say anything that's going to hamstring the work of ICE, that's just not going to go anywhere."

Nvidia had a baaad day yesterday, and an even worse one today. 💖 It's already down by 3% just today alone so far. 🤣 That is *huge* if you don't do stocks.
Closed out my short position. That trade has paid for most of my 10-week (and admittedly frugal) Japan trip just now.

Nvidia (aka the mastermind of the AI bubble) is down by 1.6% in premarket trading after a weekend full of very bad news. I love shorting this stock. 😈
To be clear, the other biggest story in AI right now is that NVIDIA is specifically NOT giving OpenAI $100 billion, which they need so that they are able to start paying Oracle, who needs that money to pay the debt. Hey where’re you going didn’t you want any stock
