6/ unsurprisingly it turns out that call option volume (call options are bets that stocks will go up) rose ~1,000% in the moments immediately preceding Trump's announcement that he was going to suspend his tariff policy.
i would consider that extremely conclusive proof that someone on the trump team is engaging in large scale insider trading based on their knowledge of what trump is about to say about tariffs and yet somehow I doubt that the #SEC is going to get to the bottom of who is responsible.
Analysis: "The State of Palestine is recognised as a sovereign nation by 147 countries, representing 75 percent of UN members"
"French President Emmanuel Macron said that France plans to recognise a Palestinian state within months.
"France would become the first permanent member of the United Nations Security Council to recognise a Palestinian state."

Let me get this straight: Trump is blaming everyone but himself for his mistakes, then praising himself for fixing the problems he caused. A classic narcissistic trait.

How hard to make a publicly available website that:
⑴ tracks planes (Boeing 737-700: N701VL, N702VL, N703VL, N705VL, N706VL (parked), N707VL, N708VL, N721VL, N801XT, N802XT, N803XT, N804VL, N805VL, N806VL, N807VL, N808VL, N809VL, N812VL, N814VL, N815VL)
⑵ plots on map
⑶ marks as commercial flight or a DHS flight?
Bonus: mobile friendly, hosted outside US & accessible in US.

Today, April 10, would have been Rachel Corrie’s 46th birthday. She was an American peace activist who was murdered by the Israeli military in 2003 in Raffah, occupied Gaza.
Her murderers were never held to account.

"A president ordering investigations of specific individuals whom he considers to be his political enemies is a remarkable breach of the traditional wall of separation between the White House and the Justice Department."

Two remarks:
One, this exemplifies that nobody with any kind of conscience can "remain apolitical" - with this kind of assault on the society you live in, staying silent is not an option.
Two: Rhett is absoutely right in pointing out that the impact of Bully Economics brings destruction to EVERYTHING!, including & especially small businesses.
The US has to realize it CANNOT SURVIVE!, as a nation or society, under this administration.

Immigration judge Jamee Comans has told Mahmoud Khalil's lawyer, "I’m like you Mr Van Der Hout. I’d like to see the evidence.... If he’s not removable, I’m going to be terminating this case on Friday."
Van Der Hout said he had “not received a single document” in response to his request for “evidence and assertions” in the case.
