Wholesale prices just spiked way above expectations. PPI up 0.5% in one month, core PPI up 0.7% when experts expected 0.3%.
Translation: costs that hit companies are climbing fast, and they do not magically disappear. They get passed straight to you and me.

Last week marked 16 years since the Citizens United decision.
The consequences for our politics have been disastrous.
Billionaire spending has skyrocketed—and it’s no coincidence that economic policies ever since have overwhelmingly favored entrenched wealth over the working class.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.

The US officially withdrew from the World Health Organization today. Per Trump we can work "one on one" with other countries
Has he heard of the concept of an international outbreak? I.E. PANDEMIC?
No WHO, no USAID, underfunded CDC global health center. We are less prepared than we have ever been.

We hear a lot of talk about “freedom” from my Republican colleagues. And yet these same Republicans are working overtime to deny tens of millions of women the basic freedom to control their own bodies.
That is wrong, and it represents a fundamental betrayal of what freedom is about.
