Did someone know what Trump was going to say? | Ed Conway analysis YouTube video by Sky News

🎥WHO PLACED THE BET?
Someone just made a killing with an extraordinarily well-timed bet on financial markets, minutes before Donald Trump's announcement of war talks yesterday.

FOUR GRAPHS ABOUT 🇩🇰'S GENERAL ELECTION

My read of the election in four graphs. First: big urban-rural divide. The two big mainstream parties, Social Democrats and Liberals, are now mainly rural/suburban, with niche parties dominating in cities. (1/4) #polisky

DRTV - Mr. Nobody mod Putin Prisbelønnet dokumentar om civil ulydighed, censur og de personlige omkostninger ved at sige sandheden i et autoritært regime.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin vinder Oscar for bedste dokumentarfilm. Se den på DR TV www.dr.dk/drtv/serie/m...

Den er baseret på partiernes faktiske handlinger og ikke blot løfter, men traditionelle kandidattests har også deres berettigelse.

Jeg delte denne, da den er mindre kendt end kandidattest fra DR, TV2 etc.

Young men lean right by 50 points

Young women lean left by 22 points

Economic uncertainty update:

The thing about veering wildly between policy positions, favouring and then discarding a new maverick advisor each week, and using contradictory justifications at every turn, is that even if one particular pivot is in the direction of sanity, chaos is the constant.

New consumer sentiment data just out for April:

Americans’ expectations for how the economy will fare over the next year are now at their worst in 45 years.

Consumer confidence is down 40% since Trump’s inauguration, including a 20% drop among Republicans.

NEW 🧵

The number of people travelling from Europe to the US in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%, as travellers have cancelled plans in response to Trump’s policies and rhetoric, and horror stories from the border.

ABC News has now fully taken down the old 538 website, including all interactive projects since 2014. Aside from erasing history this prevents access to publicly released data, including raw polls, averages, model estimates & story dta. Totally unacceptable for a company (allegedly) doing journalism

Just a reminder that all the data FiveThirtyEight collected—polls, election results, and much more—is available for download (for now) on our GitHub page. github.com/fivethirtyei...
