Extraordinary story from historian Jackson Lears. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/o...
I’d be very careful connecting ADHD to an administration that isn’t just evil but riddled with various pathologies AND in many ways the result of a lot of very focused and careful planning by some very NOT ADHD people. Trump may exhibit signs of ADHD but there are a lot of rumors of substance use …
Fascinating interview. #GiftArticle🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/o... "...Keynes’s insight that investment is driven by animal spirits rather than rational calculation. Investors’ emotional state, their fantasies and fears are at the core of finance capitalism."
Trump’s default setting is anger, not geniality. He claims to be addressing people who have been left behind by the technocratic neoliberal regime, its hollowed-out public sector, its forever wars. Resentment is the core of his animal spirits. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/o...

Relentless grift. Relentless bullying. Relentless idiocy. Relentless narcissism. Relentless war on truth. Relentless on ever being held accountable.
You don't have to bring the war home. It will get here on its own! As it was - www.nytimes.com/2022/01/28/o... As it is - www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/o... Trump is a throwback to the McKinley era in every way. The beneficiaries are the oligarchs, not ordinary people. #PS1imperialism
