I can't tell you how many interviews I've done where I've been asked: If Trump's policies are so problematic, why are U.S. stocks rising so rapidly.
A bit of international context illustrates the real issue here.
U.S. stocks have dramatically underperformed other advanced economies.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

This is no shade to Karen, but a lot depends on how primaries are held in your state. If you're a progressive in a closed primary state like NY, congrats registering as an independent blocked you from voting from Mamdani in the primary. If you're in an open primary state, you do you.
And this is why I’m registered as an independent.

With the agreement of all Dem Senators, the yes votes were carefully chosen to be those who are not up for reelection next cycle. Any Dem Senator who isn't calling for Schumer and Durbin to step down is fully complicit

Mark Carney was talking about attracting foreign investment to Canada and listed reasons Canada is a good place to invest. A reporter pointed out that the U.S. has those things, too. What sets Canada apart? Carney responded, "Well, we have rule of law."

The advances we've made in statistics, experimental study design, and causal inference over the past century are remarkably useful for understanding our world. But there is never been a push to make people use them like we are seeing with generative AI. Perhaps take a moment to consider why.

The focus of green messaging on consumers in the West misses the point that for long-term projects where return on investment is calculated over decades, green more than makes up for any higher initial cost.
This is why large developers need little convincing compared to individual households.

Fish in Michigan are getting smaller.
Warming water, agriculture runoff, microplastics, and chemical toxins now flow through every tributary, every gill, every egg.
Climate change heats the surface. Pollution poisons the depths. Between them, the lakes are starving.

One of the slave power secessionist complaints was that Northern juries kept acquitting people who obstructed the Fugitive Slave Act. But even when the bastards had the federal government on their side, there was no way around the Sixth Amendment's requirement of not just a jury but a local one.
