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."

Ok, also die Marktmanipulations-These überzeugt mich mehr als die "aggressiver Dealmaker"-These oder die "sein geheimer Plan wird die US-Wirtschaft am Ende stärken"-These (fair enough, Teile der US-Wirtschaft wird es halt stärken, die obersten Teile nämlich). #uspol #Trump

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.

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.
