Wow!! Great response on the "Woodstein" coverage of Watergate. They did it all without Google or iPhones. Ford pardoned Nixon because he was worried about what it would do to this country. Now we know it didn't fall apart. der trumple's WH gang please note: Nixon's guys went to prison.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

I’ve worked with several treasury secretaries, and I can honestly say that Scott Bessent is the worst I’ve ever witnessed. He seems to be doing everything possible to lose credibility, which is critical to soothing markets and maintaining faith in the dollar.
nbcnews.com
Bessent dared the markets to ‘bet against’ him. Bond traders did — and appear to be winning.
As the Trump administration digs deeper into its toolbox to lower longer-term bond yields, they’re only surging higher.
