U.S. homebuyer demand just hit its lowest level ever for the month of March.
According to NAR Pending Sales, contract signings fell yoy to an index of 73.7.
This was the worst monthly reading for March ever, even lower than 2008-09 crash. #EconSky
More market manipulation.
He'll get that Nobel Peace Prize one of these days.
What Obama did was bad enough. Specifically, I'm thinking of the Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP), in which taxpayer money subsidized private profits, and the AIG bailout, which used taxpayer money to make Wall Street banks whole. No penalty. No lesson learned.
Pitch perfect from @nytpitchbot.bsky.social
This is Jesus in Trump's MAGA Bible (so I presume).
CIA is riding around in low riders with the hydraulic lifts and fringe on the windows.
Counterpoint: It's yet to be proven that Mythos is key to anything.
In case anyone is wondering, "crafting" is "crashing." On Sunday, a truck carrying two Mexican state officials and two American CIA agents plummeted into a ravine and exploded in the rugged mountains of Chihuahua. All four individuals were killed.
Right? When are we going to see hearings about this?
Love it!

Point of fact: Bill Wells is the Mayor of El Cajo, not the Mayor of California. There is no "mayor of California."
I'm just quoting Kitty Kelly's biography of Nancy Reagan.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against ActBlue, alleging that the Democratic fundraising platform misled Congress and the public about its donation-vetting process — increasing pressure on the platform ahead of midterm elections.
I'm a @washingtonpost.com subscriber. I'd like to complain that this article contains no mention of Ken Paxton's crimes, and that he's only walking free because Trump's DOJ dropped the investigation. Real journos would include that.
Food and Beverage spot inflation surged to 7.9% YoY .. BofA March Trendspotter
tomatoes (+102%), vegetables (+90%), and diesel (+88%); the most deflationary were eggs (-60%), cocoa (- 59%) and orange juice (-34%).
But was it a Nancy Reagan-level blowjob?
CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks
...maybe - just maybe - he's actually the worst president in history
Once again, it all should have ended immediately in 2017, when he started openly monetizing his hotels at Mar-a-Lago & around the corner from the White House. We have yawned, as a country, at unprecedented corruption right in front of us.
I'd rather shave my head with a cheese grater than listen to a conversation between these two clowns.
Maybe it's altitude?

Kevin Warsh spent the past year constructing a case for the Federal Reserve to deliver the interest-rate cuts President Trump wants: An artificial-intelligence boom would soon deliver a productivity surge that would hold down prices. #EconSky www.wsj.com/economy/cent...
“Reverse emails,” Jared Kushner corruption edition
He also holds no Senate-confirmed Cabinet or senior government position & employing family as White House advisers violates every norm ever, but this, too, has been erased from the headlines. After years of HUNTER BIDEN, it’s shameful.

@mikezaccardi.bsky.social passes along this comparison chart from Morgan Stanley on oil shocks then and now
Rachel Bitecofer: Trump’s US Attorney for DC, Ed Martin — who calls himself “President Trump’s lawyer” — refused to sign an arrest warrant for Republican Rep Corey Mills for domestic abuse even though they had him on 911 recording telling victim to lie for him.
