Kohl’s explodes upward, tariffs implode in court, and crypto takes a turn for the medieval as a self-styled “Bitcoin king” decides kidnapping is a viable portfolio strategy. We break down the chaos in U.S.–China trade talks, including China’s demand for AI chips and America’s new favorite acronym: TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out).

Jamie Dimon goes full gloom-and-doom in a live interview, warning of bond market carnage just weeks after saying everything looked fine, which either means he’s hedging or auditioning for Treasury Secretary. Meanwhile, we explore the math behind steel tariffs (spoiler: you lose 75 jobs for every one saved), why the most American-made car still isn’t really American, and how free trade continues to confuse people with microphones.

Plus: Andrew Jackson kills a guy, Milton Bradley loses everything over Lincoln’s beard, and stagecoach robbery goes out in a blaze of Canadian feminist glory. Economics has never been this weird or this violent.
