Unlike a 'little black book,' the Fed's beige one spills the country's economic secrets
The Federal Reserve releases its Beige Book several times a year to provide a summary of economic activity, labor markets, prices and other factors.

This is an excellent analysis of the business and leadership crisis in the WNBA right now. Stop reading the other stuff out there and spend 10 minutes or so reading this.
This is a rather lengthy story (really it is two columns) on how the fundamental issue in the WNBA is that NBA doesn’t truly believe the WNBA is just as good as the NBA.

Critics are upset President Trump said, "I'm not a lawyer. I don't know" in response to whether migrants are entitled to due process when 5th Amendment says they are.

I think that we should give Trump a break. He is clearly in cognitive decline, maybe Alzheimer's.
