President of Notre Dame Got Covid From Amy's Ceremony...

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"On Monday, Jenkins wrote a letter to his students titled "I regret my error of judgment in not wearing a mask," in which he apologized...

"I know many of you have read about the White House ceremony I recently attended. I write to express my regret for certain choices I made that day and for failing to lead as I should have," Jenkins said in the letter.

I saw him there on CNN on though to myself, now what on earth is the good reverend doing without a mask? 
Sheesh...

Trump Tweets Today On New Stimulus Deal...

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"Top economists, including Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell, have warned that further fiscal aid is crucial to prevent the slowing recovery from the coronavirus recession from fading."
“Too little support would lead to a weak recovery, creating unnecessary hardship for households and businesses. Over time, household insolvencies and business bankruptcies would rise, harming the productive capacity of the economy and holding back wage growth,” Powell said in a Tuesday speech."

Trump Tweets Today On New Stimulus Deal...

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"President Donald Trump is once again warning voters that Democrats would "shut our economy and jobs down" if they win in November."

"Goldman Sachs is telling its clients the exact opposite.
Just hours after Trump's all-caps Monday morning tweet predicting economic disaster, Goldman economists pointed out that polls "suggest a 'blue wave' in which Democrats gain unified control of Washington is becoming more likely" -- and they're not suggesting investors dump stocks.
In fact, "all else equal, such a blue wave would likely prompt us to upgrade our forecasts," Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a Monday report."

Today, Trump said he wants a stimulus deal even larger than either the Republicans or Democrats want. 
"I would like to see a bigger stimulus package, frankly, than either the Democrats or Republicans are offering," Trump said while being interviewed on "The Rush Limbaugh Show." The President continued that he's "going in the exact opposite now," adding, "Maybe it helps or maybe it hurts negotiations."

Meanwhile: "U.S. Debt Is Set to Exceed Size of the Economy Next Year, a First Since World War II"

"You all will have to come to my funeral":
"Meadows and Mnuchin indicated they would give Trump the feedback.
"You all will have to come to my funeral" after delivering that information, Meadows told them after receiving all of the criticism (from Republicans), according to the sources familiar with the call. Mnuchin agreed it would be received quite poorly.
Republican senators were unmoved by those comments.
