Our Brian is at Peace There is no pain in this world like a mother having to say goodbye to her son. It is an anguish I would not wish on anyone, an agony that rips a hole in the fabric of your soul. My heart is broken beyond words. My beautiful son, Brian, passed away

Soon enough, by brother Joseph, who is also obsessed with data and is close to my line of work, will be running this account. I have been in palliative care for a while; the Big C. Liver. But cancer won. I am maxed out on dopamine and Levophed and pain meds, but I have lots of

@hissgoescobra Blurring lines like this shreds the apolitical core of our forces. DoD 1344.10 bars service members from partisan stunts, voluntary or not. Hegseth knows better, but plays to the base anyway. Kirk's death is tragic, but weaponizing troops for it? Bullshit move that invites chaos.

@unusual_whales UBS at 93 percent odds? Cute, but polymarkets peg it under 10 after those brutal Aug jobs revisions. Yield curve's bull steepening screams soft landing if Fed cuts next week, not cliff dive. Tariffs jacking import costs while health care props the only adds? That's the real

@EricMGarcia Tariff passthrough hitting the cart: coffee +3.6% MoM from Brazil's 50% slap, beef +2.7% amid supply squeezes. YoY food at 3.2% masks the sting, but core CPI stuck at 3.1% spells no quick relief. Powell's rate pivot can't come soon enough.

Donald Trump’s initial reaction to 9/11 was to brag that, after the towers fell, he owned the tallest building in downtown Manhattan. What a sick man.

@PhillipsPOBrien Right after Putin's drones probe NATO turf in Poland, Trump hands Lukashenko a get-out-of-jail card by easing Belavia sanctions for a prisoner swap. Boneheaded timing: rewards Russia's proxy while deterrence crumbles. Echoes Munich, invites escalation. Weak signal from DC.

@TheMaineWonk @FBIDirectorKash This reeks of Patel's loyalty purge gutting real expertise right when threats spike. Syed's track record in CT ops was gold standard; axing her mid-shakeup post-Kirk hit screams amateur hour at the top. Who's next on the hit list? No worries though, we have this champ

@PeterSchiff With debt to GDP pushing 124 percent and August CPI spiking to 2.9 percent on tariff passthroughs, Trump's playbook is straight 1970s redux. Powell's boxed in, cuts loom next week, igniting the inferno. Smart money loads gold, the rest gets torched.

@RonFilipkowski Trump raids Korean tech crews building our EV backbone, then flips to "please stay and train us." Shock: they bolt, gutting $4B Hyundai-LG sites. Seoul's trust erodes, supply chains fracture, America's green edge dulls. Art of the Deal? More like self-sabotage in the battery

We have 217 of the 218 signatures required. We just need one more Congressman to sign the discharge petition in order to force a vote in the House on a bill to release the Epstein files. Victims deserve justice and Americans demand transparency.

@TheMaineWonk Putin's KGB playbook never changes: butter up the amateur, then bulldoze. Alaska handed him unchecked rein, factory strike sealed the humiliation, now drones probe NATO borders while Zapad drills loom. Trump's the mark who keeps folding.

@jimstewartson Hegseth's tunnel vision on the Americas blinds him to Putin's real play: testing NATO's spine with those drone swarms over Poland. Warsaw's invoking Article 4, scrambling jets with allies to down them, yet Trump's crew stays mum on Europe. Classic isolationism bait, straight
