Congrats to everyone who insisted they were better off four years ago -- you made it right back to the safety and security of "early COVID pandemic"
There you have it. The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (www.policyuncertainty.com) just hit an all-time high, surpassing its previous high from May 2020 - the teeth of the #COVID pandemic.
Consequences: worse investment climate, higher risk premia, (likely) higher interest rates...

NEW — DOGE now has full access to HHS Payment Management System, I’ve learned.
The system distributes almost $1 trillion per year in grants (largest in the govt) and supports all of NIH, CDC + many other public health initiatives. Musk guy Luke Farritor is actively delaying payments to recipients.

Access to the U.S. payment system has been provided to an individual and organization that has no fiduciary responsibility either by employment or by appointment. If the House has the responsibility of the “purse strings,” where are they?

You elected the Congress. You did so as part of a deal we have had with each other since 1788 that the people we chose for that Congress would make our laws and control our national budgets. And now a group of people are illegally trying to strip away your power.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

New in PN: Merchan subtweets John Roberts ahead of Trump's sentencing
"Merchan’s order is a remarkable condemnation of the chief justice’s screed, which treats legitimate criticism of SCOTUS's rulings as violence, while disregarding the actual violence encouraged by Trump and his cronies."
