New statement from Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein: "We respect the traditional independence of the editorial page, but this decision 11 days out from the 2024 presidential election ignores the Washington Post's own overwhelming reportorial evidence on the threat Donald Trump

SCOOP: Workers Say They Were Tricked and Threatened as Part of Elon Musk’s Get-Out-the-Vote Effort Paid canvassers in Michigan were hauled into a U-Haul van with no rear seating, threatened with money being withheld for their motel rooms & more WIRED wired.com/story/elon-mus…

One HUGE winner from Trump's win: Private prison companies GEO Group Inc. and CoreCivic Inc. Their stocks, which could benefit from Trump's plans for rounding up millions of immigrants, rocketed higher today 41% and 29% respectively.

Just to clarify: this isn’t just the first time since WW2 that all incumbent parties in developed countries lost vote share. It’s the first time since this data was first recorded in 1905. Essentially the first time in the history of democracy (universal suffrage began in 1894).

A West Side Rag investigation found there are at least 27 hippos currently on the Upper West Side. Unclear how this compares to other neighborhoods, but you've got to think this puts the UWS at the very top of the hippo-per-block list of any NYC neighborhood.

Trump's tariffs are the most expensive and masochistic the US has pursued in decades. A very crude estimate of Trump's tariffs puts the projected loss at $20 trillion dollars, or well over $200,000 per family of four. Here is the basis for the calculation:

You may like "White Lotus" and "Severance" but prestige TV to me is Rick Santelli and Steve Liesman screaming at each other on CNBC about global trade

We calculated that post Trump “put” today, the tariff mix is actually worse —China exports more consumer goods to US than other countries, so boosting that (to 125%) relative to others will boost the hit to consumption goods.

Even with Trump’s walk back today, given the raise on Chinese tariffs, the effective tariff rate still around ~25% according to Goldman Sachs. That’s up from 2% in January. A long way to go to get back to normal.
