The EPA long considered the cost to industry and the savings in avoided deaths and disease when coming up with air pollution rules. Under Trump, the agency is dropping human health out of that equation.

I think the DOJ criminal probe is the biggest threat to federal reserve independence since its formation. Hard to overstate the chill for officials making policy under threat of criminal prosecution. Shows there is no independent fed without an independent DOJ.

Not only is the fed going to meet this week and decide on rates in the absence of 2 months of data (that it will get next week), it’s also publishing a new round of forecasts. Many models use prior data as a significant input so that will be missing. It’s another reason imo to delay the meeting.

Trump calls Somali immigrants “garbage.” His VP cheers him on. Meanwhile, families are being torn apart, asylum is being shut down, aid is being gutted, and the military is firing on survivors in the water.

Cruelty is becoming national policy—silence is complicity.
