Markets in Q1: #ETTTTS
Whereas the major risk back in Jan was that #Trump's 'America first' policies would push #inflation back up & prevent #US interest rate cuts, now the most important risk is #recession risk.
That has spun the $140T global bond #market 180°.
#Gold, the ultimate safe port in a storm, has had its best quarter since 1986 due to Trump's #TradeWar & the #dollar is flirting w/its worst start to a year since the 2008 global bust.
The new draft deal, one senior official said, looks like “Ukraine was in the war with U.S., lost, [was] captured and now has to pay lifetime reparations.”

On Tues in the #Senate, Gabbard called Russia a “competitor”. But today, when asked to choose between the 2, Gabbard admitted Russia was an adversary. That wouldn’t be asked of any other admin, but #Trump’s criticism of #Ukraine & praise of Russia & Gabbard’s past parroting of Russian propaganda makes it necessary.

The #Trump admin is trying to deport *another* student, 21-yr-old #YunseoChung, a legal permanent resident, under the statute authorizing Secy of State #MarcoRubio to remove people deemed threat. She's lived here since childhood.
Chung wasn’t a leader or heavily involved in the protest movement, she only attended a few.

…Today, we are witnessing the birth of a new #DualState. The #US has long had a normative state. That system was always imperfect. Our #criminal #justice system, for example, sweeps in far too many people, for far too little security in exchange. Even so, it is recognizably part of the normative state.
What the #Trump administration & its allies are trying to build now, however, is not.
