The people saying we shouldn’t worry about Fed independence are the same people who told us Trump wouldn’t try to overturn the elections and would eventually accept that he lost.
These are the kind of questions you can’t afford to get wrong.

1. On February 24, Extremity Care LLC, a company that sells very expensive bandages made from placentas, donated $5 MILLION TO TRUMP'S SUPER PAC
Days later, Trump froze a pending rule that would BAR MEDICARE FROM COVERING EXTREMITY CARE'S PRODUCTS, which are overpriced & not backed by science.

Trump is now threatening 35% tariffs on Canada, one of our closest allies and largest trading partners. Hard to think of a stupider way of running trade policy.

76% of politically motivated shootings and extremist-related killings in the U.S. over the past decade were of a right-wing nature.
Left-wing motivated shootings were roughly 3%.
So, both sides do it.

There's a very long list of ways in which Trump's choices are going to make life worse for people everywhere. One example: The VA plans to cut 80,000 jobs, which will mean more expensive health care and longer wait times for veterans in Indiana.

Exempting USMCA-compliant auto imports from tariffs would lessen the impact of Trump's trade war, sparing ~$122B in imports (~$170B if parts are exempted)
But it just highlights the ridiculousness of this whole endeavor—why exempt cars but not oil, tomatoes, computers, etc etc?

Homebuying is brutal:
1. Tightened credit standards disqualify many people from mortgages.
2. Home prices are way up. The median in Fishers is $362,500.
3. 30-year mortgage rate: 6.76%
Many families have nowhere to go but single-family rentals — and Indianapolis suburb Fishers wants to ban them.
