Military personnel: This is what following unlawful orders looks like. Don’t do it. You don’t have the president’s get out of jail free card from SCOTUS, and these losers will not protect you.
For a little under an hour — 41 minutes, according to a separate US official — Bradley and the rest of the US military command center discussed what to do as they watched the men struggle to overturn what was left of their boat, the sources said.
Ultimately, Bradley told lawmakers, he ordered a second strike to destroy the remains of the vessel, killing the two survivors, on the grounds that it appeared that part of the vessel remained afloat because it still held cocaine, according to one of the sources. The survivors could hypothetically have floated to safety, been rescued, and carried on with trafficking the drugs, the logic went.

NEW:
The DOJ tells Judge James Boasberg that Kristi Noem made the decision that flights that had departed should continue on to El Salvador, in contravention of the court’s orders.
NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social PIECE: I finally have written up the extraordinary fact that the @federalreserve.gov has created an entire page specifically devoted to my FOIA requests entitled "Historical Board Documents". Also, my birthday sale is still underway!

This is the 47th piece I've written and published this year. And as those who read my pieces can attest, we're not talking short and easy writing. Knock on wood, I think I'll be able to hit 52 pieces this year. Which is an insane rate of output. At 34 dollars for a year, my birthday sale is a steal
NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social: I take a look at the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, the little it accomplished- especially on the central governmental crisis we face- the constitutional crisis over impoundment.

FYI, I haven't posted about this in ten months but I have institutional subscriptions built for @crisesnotes.bsky.social
It would help immensely if you requested your academic library or employer to subscribe.

NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social: I continue my deep dive into the intellectual origins of my "conventional wisdom processor". Here I examine the role of economists at Google, Amazon, Uber etc. in propagating an entirely different notion of markets.

Eleven paragraphs into the story, the Statesman grants that the $77k that Republicans are complaining city council spent on travel and food "pales in comparison" with the city's $6.3 billion budget and has no bearing IRL on the math of whether Austin needs a tax rate election. So disingenuous.
Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.
Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc
Well worth it -
NEW @crisesnotes.bsky.social PIECE: With the attempted firing of Lisa Cook by Donald Trump, the first Black woman appointed to the Federal Reserve Board, I think its important to examine the @federalreserve.gov's history of Racial Segregation. This is a long one

The irony is not lost on me that a central pillar of US capitalism for the past century may collapse due to its refusal to defend a Black woman…the past half decade has been a parade of institutional failure at vital points
Really good analysis of the Fed's and Chair Powell's failure to respond to the efforts to undermine central bank independence.
Very well put by @nathantankus.bsky.social:
“Powell must do everything in his power to compel the conventional wisdom of market traders to more adequately “price in” the degradation of the rule of law.”

Excellent article from @nathantankus.bsky.social
“The Trump administration has provided no evidence for its allegations of “mortgage fraud” against Lisa Cook and an individual can have multiple “principal residences”, as President Trump himself has.”

Nathan’s articles will become more and more important as we get deeper into the insanity of Trump’s admin. Crisesnotes is well worth subscribing to and sharing.
An excellent piece with new-to-me detail on the ‘accusations’ against Cook. I agree that Powell faces a choice between trying to use the power of market panic to compel Trump to back down or losing.
Must Read!!!!
NEW PIECE: Powell and the Federal Reserve System has already failed to meet the moment and not defending Lisa Cook will seal both Powell's and the Fed's fate.

As kids return to school, another mass shooting has stolen young lives.
Children shouldn’t fear their classrooms. Teachers shouldn’t risk their lives. Parents shouldn’t wonder if their kids will come home.
We are the only country with more guns than people—and this is the devastating result.
