Do the networks who showed that have to report it to the FEC as a campaign contribution?

Broadcast network executives should be ashamed that they carried that gaslit tirade.

Squirrels in Philadelphia are built different. This guy was spotted at Boathouse Row fending off many other challengers. They were all very chonky. #nature

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

Agreed. That's why my first move after the fed statement this week was to buy $GLD $SILJ $GDXJ $GDX.

Ironically, long term bond investors #TLT $TLT lost 1% today as Trump cripples the US with term premium and excess debt. It's almost like he's a meme stock trader and is trying to send long-term interest rates to the moon!! 🚀🚀🚀 #econsky

Not many are noticing that long-term US rates are rising. When they do, financial media almost always claims it's due to “strong growth.” That’s wildly incomplete. It’s a rising term premium from too much debt, supply, and lost policy credibility. #econsky #InterestRates #stocks #bonds

He has no idea how any of this works. He's a decent chunk of the reason that 20/30 yr interest rates are surging higher, firmly in an uptrend. And every step he takes gives fuel to that uptrend.

One of my favorite things is listening to financial media and how everyone takes it as a matter of fact that interest rates are going to be lower next year while I watch interest rates surge higher, while in a long-term uptrend. It just tells me how early we are in that long-term uptrend. #econsky

I don't think he's a smart enough dictatorial type to be testing Americans failures, and they are failing.

Look above AND FAIL at the shoulder line of a head and shoulders breakdown on #TLT $TLT. Now back below 2 of 3 crucial resistance levels, Positive for the bulls (not me) is a bullish divergence forming on the pullback. #FederalReserve #bonds #interestrates #econsky I might update this thread.

C'mon, do more volatility. #econsky #FedAnnouncement

Only a few minutes until the Powell does the thing. Shoutout to JC Parets. @downtownjoshbrown.bsky.social @michaelbatnick.bsky.social

the sad irony that Trump has turned the US into a shithole country

Future textbooks on technical analysis may feature this chart of silver $SLV. Symmetrical triangle or "coil" pattern after a big run higher into October. Pattern resolves to the upside, indicating a new accumulation phase with stronger momentum. #breakoutsarebullish

Spencer Cox: "I disagree with Congresswoman Omar. I think she should be voted out of it. I think I can do that without attacking her religion or race or ethnic background. I know that the president disagrees with me ... he's not interested in uniting the country."

Here's a pro tip to the marginal R +5 Congressman/Senator: read the fucking room. Miami + Georgia last night again confirmed you will be extinct if you dont wake up, dump Trump, and get on board today with preserving health care affordability (for a start)

Yep.

Turning points aren't always obvious when you're in the flow of things... But every now and then a big one comes along, and it's plain to see. The EM inflection point: entrylevel.topdowncharts.com/p/chart-of-t...

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

Anyone notice that Troy Aikman is starting to sound more like John Madden as he ages? #NFL #MNF #Mondaynightfootball #flyeaglesfly @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social

Hey guys, since misinformation is destroying humanity (led by morons like RFK JR), someone needs to alert folks that this was his 20th pull up (many of which weren't in proper form).

Rep. Jasmine Crockett announces her campaign for U.S. Senate for Texas with an ad that uses Trump’s own words against her.

Oops. @ddale8.bsky.social www.cnn.com/2025/12/08/p...

OOOOHHHH... now the talking heads mention that putting a political crony on the fed will make interest rates rise! #econsky

Was I right already? Why do you think long term interest rates are moving higher today? #econsky #TLT $TLT

Number one and four are correct. I think the consensus that there will be stimulus due to excess tax refunds next year is not well founded. It's optimistically delusional thinking. It's also ridiculous to think that the worst of tariffs is behind. The worst of tariffs take time— worst is coming.

The irony of right wing cranks spending the last two decades shouting about participation trophies 🤌

Hands Reaching Up From Hell, Wat Rong Khun Temple, by Chalermchai Kositpipat, 1997

Karoline Leavitt to be announced as the inaugural winner of the FIFA Pulitzer Prize.

BREAKING on MS NOW:   Brian Cole Jr., the suspect accused of being the Jan. 6 pipe bomber, confessed to agents that he planted the bombs and has indicated he supported President Trump, according to two people familiar with his interview.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

This was never going to happen. Because there is nowhere else in the U.S. (and certainly not Florida, FFS) where an ultra-rich person can live as sumptuously as in NYC, or where they can lord it over the peasants so comprehensively (in terms of real estate, private schools, clubs, etc.)

The most important line in a solid piece by @iandunt.bsky.social "And yet for all its flaws, Bluesky offers something which is becoming vanishingly rare in the modern world: a vision of life without the algorithm. What I see is what I have chosen to see. We own our own destiny on Bluesky."

How indeed?

POLITICO: “.. Almost half — 46 percent — say the cost of living in the U.S. is the worst they can ever remember it being, a view held by 37 percent of 2024 Trump voters.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Hey @dkellercmt.bsky.social. Thanks for being such a big part of my year and all of the great daily videos! YouTube tells me that I'm one of your top viewers. #econsky

I'm sorry but Dan Niles just jumped the shark. At about 4% interest, you've got to be able to find something that you like more than cash for your best idea, even if you're bearish. Ideas: - gold, silver, miners - selling cash secured puts - emerging market bonds - dollar short #econsky
