Dobbs is still falling out and the damage is falling on women and not the politicians who want to punish them.

Meanwhile, on the national stage, Walgreens has folded and given in to Republican governors and will not distribute Mifepristone where it's opposed. [Texas Tribune] [CNN Business]

I get that Powell lived through the seventies and that is going to color his economic focus. But the circumstances today are nothing like they were then. Well, other than trying to rebound from a disgraced Republican president. But even that is different. Every rate hike takes money out of your pocket and puts in the banker's pocket. Who is he working for again?
