Let the idea of a 20% unemployment rate sink in.

Trump was already slightly to the left of the Democratic establishment on issues of wars and trade, but now the parties have totally switched positions.

Good Morning fellow C99'ers. Just a quick post. I ran across this story on my Twitter feed this morning. After a grueling week where nothing feels normal anymore, I needed a bit of encouraging news. Then I thought you all might too. So here goes:

Liz Warren hasn't done much/anything recently worthy of praise, but if she's serious about this declaration then she may yet save her reputation.
