Anticipating the next TS tweet: "Ahh, but the strawberries! That's - that's where I had them... I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with - geometric logic - that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox DID exist!"

No. Because I said SO. www.propublica.org/article/dhs-...

Goooood morning Asia!

This is the story you are not thinking about - that should worry you greatly. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

*US INVOKES DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT FOR SABLE OFFSHORE CORP. Trump using the Defense Production Act to get around California law. There's no way any oil will be pumped for at least a year, or a decade. Another big win for the lawyers who will fight this in court... (sigh)

*TRUMP REPEATS US 'DECIMATING' IRAN So...we're destroying 10% of the country?

The Central Bank Put is starting to crack around the world. The Fed: 1/5

Today I joined my friend and reporter Norah Mulinda LIVE IN STUDIO with @bloomberg.com Businessweek, and this specific shot makes me emotional: two dark-skinned Black women in 'fros, talking economics, on national TV. A historic moment. 😭 Watch our interview here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifIZ...

Tell me you don't have a clue about how the @federalreserve.gov works without saying it:

She's not afraid to drive that bus right through the Strait.

What kind of person would deliberately choose to sit in a middle seat?

*TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SET TO SUSPEND JONES ACT TO TAME OIL PRICE Making it easier for a US-flagged ship to hit a mine in the Strait of Hormuz

*IRAN LEADER KHAMENEI SAYS STRAIT OF HORMUZ SHOULD STAY CLOSED

Trump makes it sound like you should be grateful for high oil and gasoline prices because "we make a lot of money."

So...much...winning with this administration... www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...

*TRUMP SAYS IRAN WAR WILL END 'SOON' BUT NOT THIS WEEK

Wow. It's not even Tuesday! *TRUMP SAYS WAR COULD BE OVER SOON: CBS

*FRANCE SAYS G-7 NOT THERE YET ON RELEASING OIL STOCKPILES Oops

You realize he's talking about you....

One of this "shocked but not surprised moments"

Wow, Trump sounds terrible. Exhausted and slurring.

You couldn't make this up Putin is supporting Iran with intelligence in the war Yet Trump is considering unsanctioning more Russian oil according to Bessent A clueless US Administration, in way over its head

Happy 100th Birthday to Alan Greenspan!

This could be a ketchup alert day at the White House. Terrible jobs numbers at a time when surveys show people are worried about losing their jobs. And gasoline prices continue to jump. Double-dose of bad news for those obsessed and fearful of the midterms.

Really, everyone following Trump's Iran war should read this. Bet you weren't thinking about this at all... www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

“Whoso pulleth out this sword of this stone and anvil...

On @bloombergtv.bsky.social, #Fed Governor Stephen Miran kind of sums up where the Open Market Committee is now, four days into Trump's Iran War: "I think (Fed policy makers) are more generally where they were last week. And it's just too early to change your mind."

This is cartoonish. Arrogant and silly. Who is he trying to impress? (Rhetorical Q, don't answer)

*SPAIN SAYS TRUMP MUST RESPECT INTERNATIONAL LAW OVER TRADE Bwaa-ha-ha-ha-ha

Trump's Iran war is complicating monetary policy, @minneapolisfed.bsky.social President Neel Kashkari tells me. www.minneapolisfed.org/speeches/202...

Operation Epic Oil Spike continues:

Operation Epic Market Slide continues:

GTFO:

If we have to live in this insane world right now, here's some good news: www.self.com/story/crying...

Although ISM Manufacturing remained positive (52.4, down from 52.6) in February, prices paid has to give @federalreserve.gov officials pause. 70.5 percent, an 11.5 pp jump from January's reading of 59% and its highest reading since June 2022. Tariffs get the blame, companies say.

What does Joe Biden have to do with this badly done Pentagon briefing? Other than propaganda?

Someone has studied Colin Powell's TV performances. But he is no Colin Powell.

It's been suggested to me that a lot of lives could be saved if he just bombed the servers on which the Epstein files are stored.

The dog is wagged again

I've been watching or reporting on State of the Union speeches since 1985. This one is by any and every measure the worst. A litany of lies interrupted by insults wrapped up in a campaign speech topped by obituaries. The good news is people will remember the tone; nobody will remember what he said.

What if...we only noted the things he says that are true?

What does America remember about last year's Trump State of the Union speech? Those who bothered to watch remember...it was long. What will people remember about this year? Likely nothing more than it was long. He'll do something to change the narrative by the weekend.

Got to root for Anthropic to hold the line here www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

So it is reported that Trump will call for new...tax cuts...to make people feel better about the economy. Because what's another trillion or ten added to the national debt?

OBTW, your by-now regular reminder that winter storms do not have names.

*TRUMP SAYS HE HAS JUST SIGNED GLOBAL 10% TARIFF This would be under Section 122, which allows tariffs up to 15% for 150 days to deal with balance of payments problems. A US trade deficit is a questionable application. But no way does it get to SCOTUS in 150 days. So this probably stays. 1/5

This is quite a tantrum he's throwing.
