I was set to launch my book at the Carter Library next month. This week, we were told all events now need approval from the National Archives. The next day, my event was forced to relocate. A book about the working homeless. A book about civil rights. Apparently these topics are now off limits.

“…the American media would be more clear-eyed about the rise and return of wanna-be dictator Donald Trump if it was happening overseas in a foreign country, where we’re used to foreign correspondents writing with more incisive authority.”

I should add is this is why the Federal Reserve *should* be saying something. There were folks inside the Fed warning about the subprime boom, but they were basically silenced. I suspect the same is happening now.

From someone who has chronicled the subprime crisis & resulting financial crisis, financial markets are not at good at predicting fundamental vulnerabilities. Warnings are often ignored for the sake of “irrational exuberance” They are good at accelerating downward spirals & contagion however.

As HUD is being decimated, a critical, moving new book calls on us to reassess who we view as "homeless." It is a *much* larger problem than measured by our current measures. And it's not primarily a coastal one. A review by yours truly of "There is No Place for Us" by @brian-goldstone.bsky.social

Diane Yentel is not very active on here, and this is too important to not circulate here. Amazingly gangsterish (my new favorite adjective for these days) stuff.

If there is an issue that organizers should be using in Republican districts, it's this one. Red districts in general are more dependent on USPS than more urban, Dem ones.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint. In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry. Make sure everyone knows it.

What would have been tail risk events are moving into the realm of the probable. Will write more soon in a long-form piece, but it is essential that we have frank conversations. Decreases in childhood vaccination rates beyond a critical level puts ALL newborns and infants at risk. All of them.

"Is he a wannabe strongman? Sure. A fascist?...An autocrat, an authoritarian...Leave those terms in the textbooks...He is a gangster. He governs like a gangster. And if you think of him ...as a gangster—who sits atop not a political party, but a gang—his actions make perfect sense."

My wife is an infectious disease pediatrician. She is very worried about the possibility that HHS will shut down the nation's primary program for vaccinating kids. It funds on the order of half of all vaccinations. (And yes, I know it's congress that is *supposed* to decide on funding, but...) ☠️

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.
