Longest stretch of <4% unemployment since Nixon's first year in office. That's right: we haven't had that spirit here since 1969

Me: Good run.

My guess: Trump may have someone like Elon Musk co-signing the Chubb bond, so the bank is comfortable being on the hook for the judgment. Same could happen for the bond for the AG $450M judgment.

This is an important point. Trump is beholden to someone & we don't know who. Reporters should ask him to explain all of the details. GOP leaders should, but probably won't be, especially concerned. x.com/aweissmann_/st…

“The decision leaves open the question of whether Congress could refuse to count electoral votes for Trump if it determines he committed insurrection …. It’s also unclear whether the Supreme Court can intervene in the unlikely event that that happens.”

The Supreme Court's ruling in the Trump ballot case resolved an urgent question: whether he could run. But the justices also unleashed new uncertainties that could confront Congress and the courts after the November election. Via @patrickdmarley

“Prosecutors in Georgia, Michigan and Nevada have brought charges against pro-Trump electors. The investigation in Arizona could present another layer of legal peril for Republicans in this politically competitive state, which Trump lost by about 11,000 votes in 2020.”
