Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

The most depressing lesson of the Trump era is that scandals don’t matter if the perpetrator and their supporters don’t feel shame.

It’s maintenance.

BREAKING: Look at this.
A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.
30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.
Market dumped.
The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.
