From The Intercept:
He begins with a comment on Paul Krugman's recent article and tweet
A lot going on today for Jill Stein and the Green Party ballot access.
Stein will now be on the ballot in Kentucky, bringing her up to 41 states plus Washington D.C. where she will appear on the ballot.
However, the Nevada and Oklahoma court cases were unsuccessful. Stein will NOT appear on the ballot, or be a write-in candidate in three states now: Nevada, Oklahoma, and South Dakota.
It had to happen sometime. After all, no one has ever eliminated the business cycle, and this one is long in the tooth.
In the space of a week the economy got a double-dose of bad news.

The case has been going on for months. It's labeled G.G. v Gloucester County School District, in the interest of the privacy of the transgender student who has none.
College applications and high school graduation are the biggest worries for most 17-year-olds. For Gavin Grimm, it's waiting for the nation's highest court to decide whether he can use the boys restroom.
Election fever season seems to be heating up to a level unprecedented in recent cycles and the hype is getting pretty thick relative to the significance of the election.
Not that you asked for my opinion, but, this is probably the least important election of my lifetime. That is not to say that other events are not consequential, we live in precarious times with the sands of change shifting under our feet. The thing is, it's quite unlikely that this election will make any difference in addressing the urgent situations that humankind is facing.
We have gotten to the point in the cycle where we can say that (excluding the occurance of a miracle) the winner of the election will either be an unhinged, deeply corrupt, war-mongering, McCarthyite, racist, austerity and globalization-promoting, fracking queen - or it will be an unhinged, austerity-promoting, tax-chopping, racist, ego-driven, narcissistic, climate-change-denying, loose cannon, con-man.
In other words, the Democrat or the Republican will probably win.

Ok, well, not so much a Press Conference as a drive by in the air:
Some of you have noted and engaged with me in speculation about who, exactly, has been involved in deleting those 30K or so 'personal' emails. It turns out that Cheryl Mills played a BIG role in this. Hat Tip to Caerus for this link which describes some of Mills' role and names Samuelson.
Some of you may be wondering why I've started making these nearly daily essays on what's been happening with Jill Stein's run for president.
The basic reason is simple. Besides Jill Stein's reddit and possibly facebook presence, there really is no way for people interested in Jill Stein to track her progress and what is going on with her campaign. Without that, people easily fall into the impression that not much is happening with the campaign, and they lose interest quickly.
