While these people are doing everything possible to help Americans in need, they have to waste their time dispelling Republican lies…un-frickin-believable.
I’ve hesitated to say this at the risk of sounding hyperbolic, but with last week’s big GDP revisions, there is no denying it: This is among the best performing economies in my 35+ years as an economist. Economic growth is rip-roaring, with real GDP up 3% over the past year. Unemployment is low at near 4%, consistent with full employment. Inflation is fast closing in on Fed’s 2% target - grocery prices, rents and gas prices are flat to down over the past more than a year. Households’ financial obligations are light, and set to get lighter with the Fed cutting rates. House prices have never been higher, and most homeowners have more equity in their homes than ever. Corporate profits are robust, and the stock market is hitting a record high on a seemingly daily basis. Of course there are blemishes, as lower-income households are struggling financially, there is a severe shortage of affordable homes, and the government is running large budget deficits. And things could change quickly. There are plenty of threats. But in my time as an economist, the economy has rarely looked better.

President Biden’s announcement today that he is withdrawing from the race will go down in history as a stunning act of patriotism, selflessness and courage— a profound statement of personal character at a time when such displays are rare in our toxic politics.
Joe Biden will go down as one of country’s great civil servants, a man who served his country with pride and purpose over decades of service, a man who loyally served the country’s first Black president, who put the first Black woman on the Supreme Court, and choose the first woman in history to serve as his vice president.
This is a man who has overcome tremendous personal tragedies, having buried a wife, a daughter, a son, and has stood by a surviving son who struggles with addiction. And now, in this remarkable decision, coming during another period of adversity, President Biden turns pain into purpose by making a great debate about the future direction of our country about something bigger than himself; bigger than all of us.
Thank you, Mr. President. I’m in awe of your example.
Much gratitude to the 12 citizens who reported to court for duty, served as jurors in the Trump case for seven weeks, deliberated together, and then rendered a verdict despite great risk to their personal safety and privacy. Thank you for your courage and service.
USA!!! 🇺🇸
Dear Trump Social investors,
Losing your “Never Surrender” shirt in the stock market can be a stressful time.
Here are some tips on how to manage your anxiety.
1. If you’re feeling angry, lace up your golden Trump sneakers and go for a run. Exercise is great stress relief. PS: If you happen to stroke out, you won’t be thinking about your losses anymore.
2. If you’re feeling despondent, clutch your leathery Trump Bible for comfort. Don’t read it. Why start now?
3. If all else fails, bang your head against the Trump wall. There’s about 50 miles of it along the southern border. Should you suffer a concussion, fear not, the Trump healthcare plan is only two weeks out.
