Also, the main benefit of real liquidity regulation reform won't be a wave of new lending (at least first and foremost) it will be allowing the Fed to cut the size of its own balance sheet significantly.

Question: There have been some searing images in the past two weeks. The school girls who it appears were killed by Tomahawk missiles, which are used by the United States. The destruction of heritage sites [and the] bombing of a city like Isfahan.

Answer: Yes. Those things will turn the Iranian public hugely against the United States and Israel. It convinces the population that the US and Israel are not liberators and are out to destroy Iran. It’s not about the regime, it’s about Iran.

Strong recommend for this great interview by Mishal Husain with Vali Nasr, the Iranian-American scholar.

The US economy grew by just 0.7% last quarter, far weaker than previously reported.

The GOP is not trying to fix the economy. They're trying to fix the election.

Murphy: I have great sympathy for our soldiers and our military leaders they are being given directions by a senile old man who is losing his mind. And so it's no surprise that this war is going horribly

A group of yellow daffodils with orange trumpets flowering in grass.

Spotted this patch of daffs on my way to the pharmacy this lunchtime and nearly blew away in the wind trying to get a snap! 😀 I do think planting spring bulbs for everyone in the neighbourhood to enjoy on horrid wet, windy days like today is a very worthwhile thing to do, don’t you? 😀

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

Today in America, a gunman attacked a university in Virginia and another gunman attacked a synagogue in Michigan. Both gunmen are dead, but communities will long be impacted

Infuriating that our country refuses to take action to protect our schools & houses of worship.

For this administration, it’s not about doing good, it’s about looking good...even when American lives are on the line.

Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
