Read our latest crazy story on the spy who was so successful at pretending he's someone else that the GRU "killed off" his real persona and stranded him with the fake one. From a fake environmental expert to a purveyor of fake news: theins.press/en/inv/286477

Next week SCOTUS will start hearing legality of Trump tariffs and will have hard time to find any legal basis for it. Which will create a financial clusterfuck as US has to pay money back (to whom btw?). Legally the only way a President can slam a tariff is section 122. bsky.app/profile/paol...

A Sudanese mother holds her child moments before being executed by the Rapid Support Forces militia. What is happening in Sudan is not just a war… It is a humanitarian wound, a mother’s cry, a nation’s sorrow calling on the world not to remain silent.

I’m seeing a lot of folks sharing this number, but caution is more warranted than usual - a lot of the source data you would typically have in late October are currently missing due to the shutdown. The current nowcast for Q3 is unusually data-light and assumption-heavy. And we’re in Q4!!!
