1/Just back from 2 weeks in Asia. US engaged in the most far reaching attempt to restructure the global economy in a century and we have hit the omnishambles portion of the program: undermining US economic security and weaken US credibility in the world.

Trump had a ‘test case’ for trade negotiations with Japan. The failure to reach a deal now has analysts wondering if any will be signed
Trump’s team had hoped for some quick wins when it came to tariff negotiations. That’s looking increasingly unlikely.

This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first.
Any lawyers at that firm—partners or associates—who don’t promptly resign will defile their moral and professional reputations beyond repair.

A very good (but incomplete) summary of the shitholes that Trump pardoned and their ongoing legal woes. Two examples: Guy Reffitt is facing illegal silencer charges in TX and Jeremy Roberts was convicted of storing illegal weapons and classified docs in his FL home.
Of Trump’s January 6th pardons, “NPR has identified dozens of defendants with prior convictions or pending charges for crimes including rape, sexual abuse of a minor, domestic violence, manslaughter, production of child sexual abuse material and drug trafficking.” www.npr.org/2025/01/30/n...
Criminal records of Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump include rape, domestic violence
Dozens of Jan. 6 defendants who received pardons from President Trump had past criminal convictions for charges including rape, manslaughter, domestic violence and drug trafficking.
