One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff
Looks like Trumpty-Dumpty had a great fall Splat! From the wall [street] See what I did there?
keeping a tab open watching tesla stock and it might be the best mood enhancer i've ever experienced
It’s amazing to find out at this late date how much the rule of law depended on people simply deciding, on a voluntary, daily basis, not to break the law.
One thing that the general public is not that aware of re: Tesla is that *they do not manufacture their own battery cells* They lease space in their factories for third-parties such as Panasonic. A lot of people invested in Tesla because they thought Tesla was vertically integrated re: the cells.
UPDATE on Mahmoud Khalil from his lawyers and his wife: "Today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament." (Legal team now includes ACLU, CCR.)
For full alt text, follow pastebin link in next post. Partial text:

Amy E. Greer, attorney for Mahmoud Khalil provided the following update this evening:

                First, importantly, today I spoke to Mahmoud and he is healthy and his spirits are undaunted by his predicament.  He also greatly appreciates, and, typically for him, is moved by the extraordinarily broad and steadfast support he has received from a variety of communities that understand what is at stake.  He is in ICE custody in Louisiana, and arrangements have been made for local attorneys to visit him today and tomorrow.

                The remarks by government officials, including the President, on social media only confirm the purpose – and illegality – of Mahmoud's detention.  He was chosen as an example to stifle entirely lawful dissent in violation of the First Amendment.  While tomorrow or thereafter the government may cite the law or process, that toothpaste is out of the tube and irreversibly so.  The government’s objective is as transparent as it is unlawful, and our role as Mahmoud’s lawyers is to ensure it does not prevail.        

                Today Mahmoud's legal team, which includes Kyle Barron, CLEAR, the Center for Constitutional Rights, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Amy Greer filed a motion to compel in federal court in the Southern District of New York, as part of the habeas corpus petition filed on his behalf over the weekend, seeking an order requiring the government to return to New York for any immigration proceedings.

1. Amazingly prolific and important columnist deserving of much more respect. 2. Spiking is one thing — it’s their paper, so they can make stupid decisions all day long — but not explaining the spike to someone like her is chickenshit move of an inept leader. 3. They don’t care. 4. Call me, Jeff.
