The financial economy is immersed in the kind of wild gambling we saw leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. 

We’re seeing it all over again — this time with crypto, meme stocks, junk bonds, and investors pumping up shares of AI stocks without knowing what it is.

Be warned.

JD Vance called Sen. Alex Padilla “Jose Padilla.”
Not a slip. A tell.
Because in this administration, erasing identity is part of the script.
Mock the name, ignore the title, rewrite the story.
That’s not just disrespect, it’s how power signals who belongs and who doesn’t.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one.

Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America.

His words could not be more on point and timely.

Please pass it on.

Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa.

Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Chris Murphy is fabulously kind. 😍

"Everybody here has to decide how much energy they're going to put in to trying to fight for that world.

Because you were so bold & courageous, I bet everybody in this room is going to work a little bit harder to make the world you're asking us to believe in."

… CNN’s Harry Enten: “There are only two presidents who have net approval ratings negative at this point. One of them was Donald Trump in his first term and the other one, Donald Trump in his second term.”

What happened to the emergency invoked because of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) of 1977 as stated by Trump when he put the tariffs in place? A 90-day pause in the middle of an emergency? The art of the lie - he is a master of BS.

Trump tariffs based on massive error, conservative think tank says The error over-inflates tariff rates by about a factor of four, AEI's economists say.

Trump tariff levels are based on a basic error in math and economics which he will never admit to because the most important thing is never admitting you are wrong even if you end up destroying the economy

Trump administration deports gay makeup artist to prison in El Salvador A gay man with no known criminal record sought asylum in the U.S. He's since become one of 238 Venezuelan migrants deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration.

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

You are allowed 9 subs on the bench. We have 7. You are allowed 5 subs plus one in extra time. We have used 5 and are now left with two goalkeepers. How does this happen?

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump.

You cannot do both.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.
