Happy Monday. It’s a big week coming up in politics - and corruption, so let’s get started. Today, we’re covering Trump’s tanking of the economy, inane and insane tariffs, erratic behavior, and even more erratic trade policy. More tariffs are coming on Wednesday, consumer confidence has dropped again, and the stock markets are U-G-L-Y. While Trump does his level best to make sure Americans can’t make ends meet, Musk is dumping $20 million into trying to buy a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat. That election is tomorrow, so keep an eye out to see if Wisconsin’s citizens can overcome Musk’s money. Today’s brief goes into why this seat means so much to Musk and the implications for the citizens of Wisconsin and beyond. And I leave you with a bit of good news to start your week - it seems the rule of law is alive and well in France…and that’s bad news for the far right. Hat tip to all those attorneys and law firms in the US who are committed to fighting for justice through the courts. And those firms capitulating (Paul Weiss), well, as they say in France, va au diable. Onward! You’re currently a free subscriber to Lincoln Square Media.
