Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Yeah so anyway you're not getting discharged from the hospital the same day if you have internal bleeding in your torso.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down...

Explaining the (relatively muted) market impact of Trump threatening to jail Fed Chair Powell: Trump talk, talk, talks, and only rarely acts. His talk is alarming, but he TACO's so often that markets have learned not to respond. And so he's broken that feedback loop from politics to markets.

We've seen this movie before -- In Venezuela, Turkey, and Zimbabwe, a popular strongman came to power with an absurd view of the world, and not enough checks and balances. They destroyed their monetary institutions. Does the US have enough checks and balances to prevent Trump from filming a sequel?

Lotta Q's about why markets didn't respond to Trump's attack on Powell.
Lemme 'splain:
1. Markets had (largely) priced in that Trump hates Fed independence. That's not news.
2. But something happened yesterday: The next found of Trump v. Powell. And Powell won! That's news.

Latest inflation report just dropped:
- Headline CPI rose 2.7% over the year, and 0.3% last month.
- Corresponding numbers for core inflation are 2.6% and 0.2%.
...roughly as expected
The good news here is the absence of bad news.
This isn't going to move the Fed.

The “Trump two-step” is basically a volatility tax: float a norm-breaking threat, then maybe retreat. Even if he backs down, the fact it happened raises the perceived risk of future interference.

The Supremes just dropped their latest set of opinions. There's a bunch of them, but NO TARIFF DECISION.
We literally still have no idea whether the tariffs that have plunged the global economy (and politics!) into chaos were unconstitutional from Day One.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

ICE are thug scum.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.
