Karim Daoud was detained by ICE on the same day he went to pick up work authorization documents. He was then held in the Elizabeth Detention Facility for over 9 months. It is a testament to his community that he is home with his children today.

This is not a fair comparison bc direct lending credit quality below that of aggregate US pool of mortgages. Apples to apples would be more like direct lending vs subprime mortgages outstanding in 2007 and they are roughly equal.

Too good to be true? Last spring Torsten Slok wrote that approx 30% of the cells in CPI calculation was now being estimated up from around 10% range and the increase coincided w introduction of tariffs. Why doesn’t anyone write about this?

Dreading doing your taxes? Billionaires aren’t. While Trump does nothing to lower the cost of living for you, he's making it even easier for billionaires to get away with cheating on their taxes.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration. This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power. It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.
