Sad old man tweeting. Mitch is not going nuclear and the gov't will shut down. He was supposed to go to golfing Xmas vacation.

She looks like a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

If you are trying to say she looks very tired for a young woman, don't worry, she is going to take the needed time off to self-care.

Wouldn't want to overwork government staff...

Trump is not going to rallies so he can only read his base from talk shows:

I'm trying to recall the last time I heard about that wonderful Trump economy. Financial news has turned gloomy lately.

An Inverted Yield Curve, a Predictor of Recessions, Has the Stock Market Spooked

For the first time in a while, stock market investors are being spooked this week by what’s happening in the bond market. And the reason has something to do with an occurrence that is not exactly in the everyday investor’s lexicon: an inverted yield curve.

Put simply, an inverted yield curve happens when bond yields at the short end of the bond spectrum rise above those at the long end. Usually, the bond market focuses on the difference between the yields on U.S. Treasury two-year notes and those for 10-year notes. When the yield curve inverts, it means the two-year notes pay bondholders more in interest than 10-year notes do, something that’s both rare and counterintuitive.

For economists and investors, it’s a loud warning about the economy’s outlook. One portfolio manager called the inverted yield curve a “harbinger of doom.” It has a scarily accurate track record of predicting economic recessions, which in past decades have arrived six months to two years after an inversion.
...
The difference between the two-year and the 10-year Treasury yields hasn’t yet inverted, although it has flattened to 11 basis points—that is, 11 hundredths of a percent—from 25 basis points last Wednesday. But on Monday, the yields on five-year Treasury notes fell below those on three-year notes, an inversion that hasn’t happened since 2007.

That hardly ensures that a recession is coming, let alone one as severe as the Great Recession a decade ago. But it has the bond and stock markets both worried that the classic two-year/10-year inversion is also coming. On Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 800 points, or 3.1%, largely in response to recession fears stoked by recent changes in the yield curve.

That the lower portion of the yield curve has inverted amid signs that the global economy is slowing is especially worrisome. Many market participants are now watching to see how the Fed reacts to that inversion, along with whether the two-year and 10-year yields will also invert.

In Immigrant Children’s Shelters, Sexual Assault Cases Are Open and ShutAcross the country, kids are reporting sexual assaults in immigrant children’s shelters. Alex decided to come forward. He told the shelter two older teens dragged him into a bedroom. There was surveillance video. But Alex's case wasn't investigated. His isn’t the only one.

We all know whose to blame. We all know who supports and excuses this.

Repeat of 2008 recession, thanks Trump!

Many are worse off due to the escalating costs of housing, healthcare, and education. And the value of whatever assets they own is less than in 2007.

Trump has added to their burden by undermining the Affordable Care Act, rolling back overtime pay, hobbling labor organizing, reducing taxes on corporations and the wealthy but not on most workers, allowing states to cut Medicaid, and imposing tariffs that increase the prices of many goods.

All of which suggests we’re careening toward the same sort of crash we had in 2008, and possibly as bad as 1929.

What's "rolling back overtime pay" mean?

The rates of overtime pay compared to the first 40 hrs in pay period. The overtime rate decreased.
