One way to read stories based on leaked docs: look at time from being circulated to docs getting published — bc that’s the amount of time it took to a) get someone pissed enough to agree to leak and b) get enough also-pissed people to confirm.
These are slides dated April 29-30, published May 1.
Hsad, rather than hangry?

Let’s start with the basics.
"A Colorado federal judge on Wednesday ordered two attorneys for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to explain why she shouldn't refer them for discipline for a brief full of misquotes, miscited cases and references to cases that 'do not exist'...."
Drift happens. Deal with it.
it’s not an important point at all, but I just can’t get over the fact that these people apparently believe they’d do well in a “meritocracy” after failing upwards their entire lives
RFK Jr thinks autistic people are second class citizens who “never pay taxes”, “never hold a job”, are a burden on society and that vaccines cause autism so they should be banned.
Incredibly destructive ideas for anyone to have, let alone the secretary of health and human services.
Crazy times.
MAGA complaining abt undocumented workers in US lying they only cared that ppl "entered legally." This is a native-born citizen & not the only one swept up by the ICE Gestapo. Finally released, but US citizen kept in jail for literally nothing wrong is the America they voted for
I saw someone pointing out that the left wants to feed a 100 children just so one child doesn’t go hungry and republicans don’t want to feed a hundred children in case one of them don’t deserve it.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.
Oil prices are an interesting proxy for economic expectations and for some reason I find them more trustworthy than Wall Street. Oil traders really do not expect May to be a good month for the global economy
GENERAL LEE AND HIS ARMY HAVE SURRENDERED! SLAVERY AND TREASON BURIED IN THE SAME GRAVE! America by the grace of God free and independent Dawning of the day of peace All honor to the gallant brave
SLAVERY AND TREASON BURIED IN THE SAME GRAVE
No - they’ll blame someone else (“deep state!”) because it’s easier than admitting they were wrong.
OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Connery is decent but overrated and his movies haven’t aged well. everyone thinks Moore is lame but his movies are by far the most fun. don’t watch the Dalton ones. Pierce Brosnan is Irish not English. two of Craig’s five are classics the others are eh.
Yes, it’s a bit hard to see now, but allowing the president to become a king who can kidnap citizens while also demolishing the global financial system is a small price to pay for getting to keeping 23 trans women from playing college sports.
A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.
