Let's not forget that the pressure on long-end yields in Japan is mostly a policy choice. The BoJ could stop it in short order, with the trade-off being a weaker exchange rate.
“If we wait for history to present us with freedom and other precious gifts, we risk waiting in vain. History is us—and there is no alternative but to shoulder the burden of what we so passionately desire and bear it out of the depths.”

Protests are good, but they do not have the impact they used to now that half the population is brainwashed & Trump and his goons do not care about norms, morals, or legality. Our ultimate power is our SPENDING. If you keep buying their shit, you will be ignored! #NoKings #NoInfluence #BOYCOTT
Josh Marshall posts about a new poll, courtesy of G. Elliott Morris, that has Dems with an 8-point edge on the House generic ballot
An 8-point lead for Dems on the "generic" ballot would mean Rep. Jen Kiggans (R-VA02) is gone in November 2026, Rep. Rob Wittman (R-VA01) in serious trouble. Also, so much for Sears/Reid/Miyares this November! LOL bluevirginia.us/2025/06/sam-... h/t @joshtpm.bsky.social @gelliottmorris.com
The NY Times' sanewashed headline about Trump's West Point speech
The WaPo's sanewashed headline about Trump's West Point speech
The Daily Beast's and Irish Star's accurate headlines about Trump's unhinged West Point speech
Trump gives an unhinged speech at West Point; check out how the WaPo and NY Times sanewash/whitewash it. Compare/contrast to the Daily Beast, Irish Star... which tell it like it is. bluevirginia.us/2025/05/satu...
The Supreme Court sided with Trump in a 6-3 ruling, allowing him to remove two board members of independent federal agencies without cause. The move signals the court may overturn a key precedent limiting presidential control over independent agencies.

Speaking of healthcare. Let's make @bsky.app the platform that fights misinformation. Some great follows are @drsusanoliver.bsky.social @jsm2334.bsky.social @therealtruther.bsky.social
Let's get them more followers and engagement than other platforms and let health science accounts find a home
I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.
I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
The other exploding area of dark money in politics is the crypto lobby.
They have dumped insane sums in elections in both parties (Dem primaries + GOP general elections).
It’s pretty bad
