USD’s depreciation against the Swiss Franc (10 yr low!) is the most interesting, potentially significant shift imo CHF investment surges when the market internalizes EU/US turmoil. Ex: early 2008, early COVID, etc. Suggests something is on the horizon Currency markets matter!

It’s a good day when @geetaminocha.bsky.social makes the case for public banking in a local Cleveland paper! Public banking is a critical part of building the solidarity economy

Having trusted community-centered institutions like public banks becomes even more essential in tumultuous and uncertain times like these. Michael Collier and I made the case for public banking in @crainscleveland.bsky.social today: www.crainscleveland.com/commentary/o...

Opinion: Amid financial tumult, it's time for public banking in Ohio
As inflation remains stubbornly high and new tariffs begin to ripple through the economy, Ohioans are feeling the squeeze. From groceries to gas to essential goods, prices are rising again—and for man...

I’m thrilled to see the global economy still intact. I refuse to celebrate “record highs” from the market adjusting to us backpedaling on a lot of obviously terrible tariff policy. tl;dr if you break it, you shouldn’t be applauded when you fix it.

I’m just going to repeat it: We don’t have the capacity to make our own *penicillin*. We import 90%+ from China—as well as numerous essential drug ingredients. Our health care system relies on price stability. Targeted tariffs = astronomical costs + reduced access. It will break U.S. healthcare.

A recently- leaked Wells Fargo memo has me deeply concerned. We must commit to saving—and expanding—USPS. Thanks @couriernewsroom.bsky.social for running this. And s/o my dear friend Bryce and the rest of the team for unionizing Courier’s workplace!

The average person doesn’t know the first thing about tariffs and the mechanisms by which they negatively impact the economy. The average person can intuitively reason that the U.S. should make things. Gotta bridge this gap.

This is the time for state and local governments to leverage public finance tools to the fullest extent. Expand reinsurance pools and issue healthcare specific bonds to stabilize the market and prevent programs from scaling back services/access to drugs.

geetaminocha.bsky.social @geetaminocha.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
I think everyone intuitively understands that the tariffs will raise prices in health care. But public health is uniquely vulnerable, since it relies heavily on pre-set contracts—the VA, which serves 7-9m veterans, especially so.

From 2004-2021, we had 0 plants. American production declined because it was off-patent and because old plants couldn’t meet new, higher FDA production standards. In 2021, one U.S. facility opened in TN. China controls ~90% of inputs for critical antibiotics like penicillin.

Did you know we haven’t been able to produce *penicillin* for years? guess where we’ve been getting our supply from since ~2004 LOL

Obviously Randy Fine was going to handily win FL-6, but it’s still meaningful that this district went from R+30 to R+7/8. If I’m a Republican in a purple district, I’m probably reconsidering some things!

Whoa. “Paul, Weiss will dedicate… $40 million in pro bono legal services… to support the Administration’s initiatives.” Shameless quid pro quo here, given last week’s EO. And pretty spineless of PW, a firm instrumental in reuniting families separated at the border in ~2018.

This mistaken idea that eliminating ED will give parents more say over their kids’ education… School districts have always set curricula! Indeed, parents may end up with even less control once textbook + testing companies inevitably exert more influence in the wake of this critical funding cut.

*Huge* blow to public and private finance alike. CDFI Fund gives investors tax credits for community business and real estate investments, incentivizes big banks to increase access to financial services, and makes our banking market competitive by expanding small bank portfolios

Just heard Trump is trying to kill the CDFI Fund. Crashing out.

A compelling thread on recent EPA deregulation. That said, I still think the misguided approach to climate will be Trump’s defining legacy. Crystallizing new agency rules via N&C, litigation takes time, sure. But meanwhile, the Executive can simply deprioritize enforcement of existing laws.

Gavin x Charlie interview was an 11/10 no notes for me. Honest and reasonable positions. What needed to be said by a leader of the party I’m always on team “go on opposing media” — if you don’t show up to the debate, you’ll automatically lose

American beef has a quality advantage in the global marketplace, but chicken, soy, and to some extent pork are highly competitive industries. No way U.S. producers don’t take a big hit from this. China imposed a 25% tariff on our soy in 2018, and it cost our farmers almost $2B!

My concern here is it’s not exactly the GOP/MAGA playbook to reject elite circles, either. They’re just more skilled at moving between the glamorous and the everyday. There’s concrete downstream benefit to this in the form of high dollar networks and soft power.

Cleveland thrived under Biden. It faces a storm in the Trump era.
Cleveland finds itself at the center of a growing storm over what it stands to lose as President Donald Trump’s agenda rattles largely Democratic cities.
