YouTube video by MeidasTouch Obama: Imagine if I had done *ANY* of this

Exactly. Just imagine.

Had President Obama shredded our constitution and rights, Mitch McConnell, as *minority leader,* would’ve held full court press and stopped everything happening NOW in its tracks.

Where is OUR minority leader?

It’s time to #ChuckSchumer

The 314 Personal Things DOGE Now Knows About You #ABlueView🧵1/2

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you.

The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes?

Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis

Republicans in congress are the only ones who can stop this tariff insanity and they are nearly completely MIA.

Donald Trump elected not to attend the dignified transfer of 4 fallen U.S. soldiers at Dover Air Force Base. The soldiers died in Lithuania during a training exercise.

Trump was paid millions by the Saudis to attend the LIV Golf dinner in Florida — so he was otherwise occupied.

The…

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Donald Trump has completely surrendered to Russia. It’s a tragedy for Ukraine and for democracy and an indelible stain on our nation’s history.

Trump working hard to lower grocery prices for you. Oh, and alienate leaders of the free world while he’s at it.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”

From our latest: “there are brave Americans who are making it damn clear that we are not just gonna roll over for America’s Hitler or his dorky, deadbeat dad super-villain friend.”

We (the original researchers, not the poster) develop a new index of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) based on newspaper coverage frequency. Several types of evidence – including human readings of 12,000 newspaper articles – indicate that our index proxies for movements in policy-related economic uncertainty. Our US index spikes near tight presidential elections, Gulf Wars I and II, the 9/11 attacks, the failure of Lehman Brothers, the 2011 debt-ceiling dispute and other major battles over fiscal policy. Using firm-level data, we find that policy uncertainty is associated with greater stock price volatility and reduced investment and employment in policy-sensitive sectors like defense, healthcare, finance and infrastructure construction. At the macro level, innovations in policy uncertainty foreshadow declines in investment, output, and employment in the United States and, in a panel VAR setting, for 12 major economies. Extending our US index back to 1900, EPU rose dramatically in the 1930s (from late 1931) and has drifted upwards since the 1960s. The index for January 2025 reached its highest point of any time since the mid 1990s, when the primary index begins. It's higher than during the worst months of the pandemic, when global trade and economic activity slowed abruptly, causing a massive global recession. Greater policy uncertainty, or the degree to which markets and expert forecasters disagree about the likely trajectory of the economy, is known to delay investment and hiring (Bernanke 1983), reductions in spending by households and firms, and constrained credit, with more adverse effects for developing countries. The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index measures the degree to which businesses, investors, and economic forecasters are uncertain about government policies related to fiscal and monetary policy, trade policy, and regulation.

There you have it. The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (www.policyuncertainty.com) just hit an all-time high, surpassing its previous high from May 2020 - the teeth of the #COVID pandemic.

Consequences: worse investment climate, higher risk premia, (likely) higher interest rates...
