🚨 HOLY SMOKES, THIS IS CRAZYY:
Japan’s Nikkei just crashed -6% at open. -3,343 points in a single session.
Here’s why this matters:
Japan imports 70% of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz.
China: 40%. India: 60%.
The Strait is empty. Has been for 24 hours.
Japan has 8 months of reserves.
In 8 months — if this war doesn’t end — the world’s fourth largest economy grinds to a halt. That’s not a recession. That’s a collapse.
This isn’t just America’s problem anymore.
The entire Asian economic order runs through a strait that Trump and Netanyahu just closed.
US futures: -1.7%. Oil up 53% since March 1. Gas heading to $5. Nikkei -6%.
And Lindsey Graham is in Miami promising Cuba is next.
Our new CEO’s vision reflects what our members see on the ground every day: the clean transportation industry is still accelerating, and CALSTART has a critical role to play in helping scale solutions. Read more via @Forbes: https://t.co/A8dTdWDJHd
No better time to be a #passengerprincess on a long 6 hour drive to our cabin on the lake - plenty of time to watch the House Republicans unravel their Big Ugly Bill...
The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it. It straight up murders the boom in battery, solar and wind manufacturing investment. It jacks up your utility bill & raises prices at the pump. It kills a half a trillion dollars of pending investment in US manufacturing and energy supply and 100s of thousands of associated jobs. It makes our air dirtier and our climate more dangerous.
Seriously: Who the fuck benefits from this, besides Joe Craft and his coal mining interests and a couple of big gas producers? Republicans are screwing over their constituents, American business interests, and our country's future in an epic way here.

Oh, so when J.D. Vance was grandstanding in a grocery store about $4 eggs under Kamala Harris, it was a national crisis—but now that eggs are hitting $15 under Trump and Vance, suddenly it’s crickets?
Where’s the viral outrage video now, J.D.? Where’s the finger-pointing, the moral panic, the grand speech on America’s decline? Funny how the talking points disappear when you’re the one in power.
The truth? Egg prices aren’t about political theater, they’re about policy failures—supply chain issues, corporate price-gouging, and an unchecked avian flu outbreak that’s been wrecking production for years. But sure, let’s pretend this is just another “win” for America under Trump 2.0.
Pay attention to the hypocrisy. Because if $4 eggs were a crisis, what the hell do you call $15 eggs?
