New title! New cover! Coming next year, inshallah... www.simonandschuster.com/books/Make-T...

NEW: First, diplomats warned what will happen if we halt aid to the rest of world. Now they are telling the Trump Administration what is actually happening: death, crime, sexual violence, trafficking. www.propublica.org/article/trum... @brettmurpsych.bsky.social & @annamaria.bsky.social:

In 2023, now DHS scty Kristi Noem set up a company in Delaware. 4 mins later, a dark money group was also created. Then the dark money group paid her 80K as a cut for helping to fundraise for herself. Hmm @justinelliott.bsky.social & @josh-kaplan.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/kris...

I'm totally baffled abt the markets. Where is Capital? Trump is messing w/ govt data; imposing tariffs; flirting w/ default; meddling in corporate management. Where are the CEO complaints? The bond vigilantes? Where are billionaire hedge funders who trade on good data? Was Capital's power a mirage?

The crime stats are an illusion. Street crime is at record lows. But White Collar crime is almost certainly soaring. Thank Trump’s Defund the Police movement: www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/u...

Oh I’m sure Donnie is absolutely scrupulous about not discussing lowering interest rates. The markets* have been slow to realize that Warsh is: A. Compromised B. A crank *Bonds kinda have; stocks are in total denial

Truly everyone who gave this child billions to make a massively levered single sector bet should have their Capital Markets licenses taken away from them for all eternity.

The world’s most gargantuan penny stock. Keep the assets moving and keep the story changing.

Investors are bubbled-addled, so they’ve been slow to realize that the Fed is compromised. It’s doubly so: 1. A habitually hawkish Warsh will lean artificially dovish to please Trump. 2. He’s in the grip of a Markets Uber Alles ideology that is, plainly, not competent. To recap:

I, for one, am going to miss Douthat. I probably disagreed with him 97% of the time. He often pissed me off, especially when he pretended not to have a view on the thing he was writing about. But he's a genuine weirdo and that made him a good, surprising columnist.

Wild story. Two husbands. Two big gun owners. Two suicides by gun. One beneficiary (literally): the NRA

I’m an institutional investor and I’m also a giant sucker. So I will be buying stocks and bonds on Monday morning!

Ridiculous insistence on not understanding who the president is
