x New in PN: Trump’s "Crypto Reserve" is a world historical grift "The boondoggle is so clumsy it barely feels like a scam. Instead, it functions as an open declaration of Trump’s contempt for the public & his office. If you wondered what living in an authoritarian kleptocracy is like, this is it."

D@mn. To paraphrase that old V-8 commercial, "We could've had a Mark Cuban." Instead, we got Skum.
x Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.

x Trump’s bad week:
- reversed on tariffs after stock market free fall
- thanked the CJ, said “I won’t forget it” like a mob boss [see below]
-targeted Perkins Coie cause they are on him.
-said Elon is head of DOGE at SOTU despite lawsuit posture; called cabinet today to tell them they are in charge.

The world IS watching. This is just WOW.
x "Washington has become the court of Nero, an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers, and a jester high on ketamine in charge of purging the civil service. This is a tragedy for the free world, but it is first and foremost a tragedy for the United States."

And the courts. If the GOP is trying to intimidate judges, it’s clearly not working. www.msnbc.com/…
The more the White House loses court fights, the more Elon Musk targets federal judges who dare to rule in ways he doesn’t like. As Jay Willis summarized at Balls and Strikes, the Republican megadonor has been “posting incessantly, calling for the impeachment of ‘fake,’ ‘corrupt,’ ‘activist’ judges for ‘violating the will of the people.’ His timeline ... is littered with conspiratorial screeds about the dastardly ulterior motives that these judges must have had for preventing an unelected billionaire from assuming the power of the legislative and executive branches all for himself.” But while Donald Trump’s top campaign donor can apparently do quite a bit through his DOGE endeavor, he can’t launch impeachment campaigns against members of the judiciary. At least for now, that power still rests in the hands of Congress. The trouble, of course, is that Musk’s ideas are finding favor among some Republicans on Capitol Hill. Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, for example, last week published a message to social media that read, “Corrupt judges should be impeached. And removed.” It came on the heels of a similar message Lee published that read, “This has the feel of a coup — not a military coup, but a judicial one.” ✂️ It’s difficult to say with confidence what these lawmakers hope to achieve, since the odds of the House actually approving an impeachment resolution are effectively nonexistent, but if Republican proponents of the campaign are trying to intimidate judges into submission, they’re apparently failing. My MSNBC colleague Jordan Rubin highlighted a brutal judicial smackdown: “An American President is not a king,” a federal judge wrote in ruling against President Donald Trump on Thursday. U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell in Washington, D.C., made the stark statement in rejecting Trump’s bid to fire Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board. It was quite a ruling. “The President does not have the authority to terminate members of the National Labor Relations Board at will, and his attempt to fire plaintiff from her position on the Board was a blatant violation of the law,” Howell wrote. She added, “The Framers, anticipating such a power grab, vested in Article III, not Article II, the power to interpret the law, including resolving conflicts about congressional checks on presidential authority. The President’s interpretation of the scope of his constitutional power — or, more aptly, his aspiration — is flat wrong.”
