Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets.
The GOP isn't the party of law and order.
They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

This made up attack contains a very telling it: “The words ‘TRUMP WHORE’ were written on her stomach and the words ‘[Federal Official 1] IS RACIST’ were written on her back. Greene was crying and yelling that one of her alleged attackers had a gun.”

Prices are not coming down. Prices are not going to remain the same. Prices are going to increase. Don’t believe me? Ask the people who will be setting the prices.
Almost two-thirds of small and mid-size business owners say they plan to increase prices next year as nearly all wrangle with inflation hitting their operations, a Bank of America report finds, yet many owners still expect higher revenue and plan to expand in the year ahead.
Most Small Businesses Planning Price Hikes As Inflation Escalates, Report Finds
Despite mounting pressure from tariffs and rising costs, small businesses remain “cautiously optimistic,” according to a Bank of America report.

If the plan is to tell consumers to pull back severely on consumption during the holidays, you’re trying to find a way to rationalize a recession.
“Adults don’t need gifts” == economic decline is imminent

Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

Both of my parents (who exclusively attended segregated schools) are only a few years older than Ruby Bridges. Economists could do much better work on segregation if they took the time to understand what it was and what it did to people who are still here.

If you know survivors of sexual abuse, particularly if they were abused as children, then you know watching their perpetrators go on about their lives is a special Hell they endure silently. Even when exposed, abusers and their enablers rarely face serious consequences. It’s a sad but true fact.

Dear Chancellors:
I'm writing with regard to the President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP) and the program's associated faculty hiring incentive.
As you know, for more than 40 years, PPFP has provided postdoctoral research fellowships, professional development, and faculty mentoring to scholars in all fields whose research, teaching, and service advance the academic and research missions of the University of California.
Since 2003, UC campuses that hire current and former PPFP fellows into ladder-rank positions have been eligible for a hiring incentive funded by the University that provides support for newly hired fellows for five years. Since the creation of the incentive, more than $162 million has been invested by the University to support PPFP faculty hires. This commitment has enabled our campuses to successfully recruit and retain outstanding faculty across a range of disciplines.
Given the myriad challenges currently facing UC - including disruptions to billions of dollars in annual federal support, as well as uncertainty around the state budget- reasonable questions were raised in recent months about whether the University could maintain the commitment to current levels of incentive funding. After considering a recommendation to sunset the incentive program due to these significant fiscal constraints, I consulted with all of you as well as faculty and campus academic administrators and systemwide Academic Senate leadership.
