I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

The key chart right now: Usually US economic pain is cushioned by falling bond yields and a strengthening dollar, which mean lower interest rates and more spending power for consumers. This time we’re seeing the opposite, meaning the pain will be amplified.

Dem leaders and operatives saying “focus on pocketbook issues,” completely miss that due process is a pocketbook issue. Tourists, students, investors, citizens all depend on rule of law. Just because lawlessness is state-sponsored, doesn’t mean it ain’t crime, and crime is bad for the economy.

A lot of Pope Francis quotes over the years stick with me. For example, that you should always “look the poor in the eye” when handing them money. This year’s message on Good Friday is another one and hard to view as anything other than a scathing critique of the current United States

If you have a mortgage, credit cards, or private loans, as well as an employer-managed 401k, it’s possible you own a piece of your own securitized debt. We have created a system in which our desire for future security is literally mobilized to exacerbate our present precarity. Happy Easter!

Seems to me like most everyone who's preemptively complied with Trump's outrageous, often illegal demands has faced worse consequences than whatever they were threatened with, while the few who have stood their ground have been met with "oopsie, we made a mistake!" reversals from the White House.

Can you imagine these “savvy” consultants (eg Natalie Jackson) & pundits (eg Chris Cillizza) during the Civil Rights Era? “I think segregation is morally wrong but liberals are falling into a trap marching in Selma. This is an absolute gift to Southerners.” Shoot me if I ever become this cynical.
