WARSH: The broad contours of the economy are improving. The potential of the economy, the real results of the economy are improving.

I remember the Vietnam War well. Trump should too — we're the same age.
I was too short to serve and lost good friends in the war. Trump pretended to have bone spurs.
That war was characterized by lies, arrogance, and stupidity.
What's happening in Iran is starting to feel a lot like Vietnam.
Trump says gas prices will plummet once the war with Iran ends. His aides and experts disagree.
The psychological and sentiment “damage may be done even before prices come back down,” an economist tells MS NOW.
One part that I do question is when Tucker Carlson says “it was not intentional.” I think it was — he just didn’t give a f*ck since he was making a shitload of money. But maybe I’m too cynical. 🤷♂️

Despite Trump’s claims to the contrary, nearly every ship attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz today turned back.
How come this creep was not arrested when this became public.
If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.
The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks.

The rationed slop being served to troops by the U.S. navy … compared to what the French and Swedish navies serve their troops.
First, he tweeted "RIP CFPB," the agency responsible for policing consumer financial products.
Then he announced X Money, which is part of his plan to turn X into "the biggest financial institution in the world.”
"[Donald Trump] doesn't care about the distinction between truth and lies. And so does he know he's lying? It doesn't matter to him. Truth has no meaning to him. All that has any meaning to him in any given moment, is whether or not he's receiving praise, or adulation or some kind of a reward. ...
