U.S. - UK trade deal a "Trumpian bullshit souffle"-- 


Prediction: This won't turn out well. People will quickly realize the deal (whatever it is, whomever it is with) is a classic Trumpian bullshit souffle. How do I know? This ain't my first rodeo.

Trump's "big" trade deal is with the UK: - It's a framework not a deal - They're our 11th largest trading partner - They're only 3% of US trade (97% to go) - They *already* charge average tariffs of only 1% (limited upside) It's a photo op, not a macroeconomically significant moment.

Fighters, not huggers, Wisconsin edition -- 


We want people to fight. That's it. We don't want nuance. We don't want you to find "common ground." We aren't looking for ways to work together. We want leaders to stand their ground and we will reward those who do. It's not hard. The more Democratic elected officials that get this the better.
