My latest tip for @Infor M3 users, on getting the most out of your custom lists... #ERP https://t.co/vahuORFB6C

Hilary Clinton did not get enough credit from progressives in my opinion for her unequivocal defense of women’s reproductive freedom throughout the 2016 campaign. This was unprecedented and underappreciated. https://t.co/esklEZa6Sq

So instead of “The Apprentice” he should have hosted “Biggest Loser”?

Year after year, Mr. Trump appears to have lost more money than nearly any other individual American taxpayer. https://t.co/ZqrxZfqG8D

It's Cheap Fun Friday! Today we compare the cost of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago trips to the money we save because he doesn't collect his salary https://t.co/CfE8mjjpcq

Great thread on how discrimination has been studied in economics. Looks like a fascinating and super interesting PhD thesis by @CleoCZ

[Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @Noahpinion]

An important read.

This will be met with complete silence not only from almost all Republican elected officials but also most of the right-wing media (National Review, Wall Street Journal editorial page). They too are complicit in the return of white nationalism to the mainstream.

Sooooo true

Blockchain technology may one day change the world. But so far, it hasn't shown how it's going to do that.

Finally some good news

[Axios @axios]

BREAKING: Trump announces Stephen Moore has withdrawn from consideration for Federal Reserve board https://t.co/7QBVBGSGhA

@Econ_Marshall marginal propensity to consume vs marginal propensity to save? We talked about that in undergrad classes at @umich. Insane that the Democrats don't push this message more strongly.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

I'm sick of this President badmouthing unions. Labor built the middle class in this country. Minimum wage, overtime pay, the 40-hour week: they exist for all of us because unions fought for those rights. We need a President who honors them and their work.

[Governor Phil Murphy @GovMurphy]

The Trump Administration tried to prevent women from accessing basic reproductive health information. We fought back. Today, @NewJerseyOAG won a nationwide injunction blocking @realdonaldtrump's dangerous gag rule.

Because they're so innocent...

[Ben Rhodes @brhodes]

Based on what’s been confirmed to be true and Trump’s own contradictory lies, that’s like 31 percent believing the earth is flat.

[Mikel Jollett @Mikel_Jollett]

Robert E. Lee owned 200 slaves (which he famously tortured) then led a rebellion to extend slavery which killed 620,000 people.

Saying you're not a racist, you just love Robert E. Lee is like saying you're not an antisemite, you just love Hitler.

[Andrew Weinstein @Weinsteinlaw]

Remember when @realDonaldTrump had a gun violence listening session and promised to “do something about this horrible situation that’s going on” in America?

Well apparently “do something” means address the NRA at their convention.

What a disgrace.

[Dirk Hoag @Forechecker]

hey now

[WashingtonTradeDaily @washtradedaily]

The #WTO DSB today adopted a "historic" decision clarifying that it can decide whether trade restrictions taken on national security grounds are justified. The decision has huge implications for the Trump Administration's use of Section 232 tariffs that face multiple challenges.
