@j-amesmarriott.bsky.social Enjoying the radio series and looking forward to the book. Although slightly disappointed the BBC hasn’t approached alternative viewpoints for balance.
@jvl.bsky.social Here y’are, JVL, something for the third leg of a Triad sometime. Bit of light relief: seearoundcorners.substack.com/p/trumps-lon...
Trump’s Long Second First Year
A sideways look backwards at 2025 and forwards to 2026.

@eggerdc.bsky.social “He is perversely helped by the fact that you can’t tell whether you should attribute a specific Trump claim to his melting brain or his melted soul.” 😱 🙌 🫡
@paulmotty.bsky.social @davidherdson.bsky.social Gents, what price to you make Trump to win the GOP nomination in 2028? I’m so far from the market I need a sanity check.
@robinwigglesworth.ft.com Enjoyed your “Avignon Fed” article. But were you aware that the regional Fed presidents must be reconfirmed by the Board three months earlier than Powell’s term expires, in February 2026? Per this Atlantic piece: www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch...

@paulmotty.bsky.social Saw you post this at the other place: t.co/kZMzQ1alAi Feels like there’s a lack of imagination among the commentariat about how the back end of his term will unfold.

@eggerdc.bsky.social Got REM echoing around my head now. Not happy.
@eggerdc.bsky.social Strong case against Roberts’ hypothetical “tactical retreat” option in Morning Shots. Trump’s momentum right now is frightening; it’d be like trying to play chess with King Kong. @jvl.bsky.social
@davidherdson.bsky.social Today was an inflection point, right? He could’ve backed down gracefully but escalated significantly. John Roberts has a decision to make.
