Out of the Shadows: Public Banking for Municipal Finance By Tyler Suksawat & Scott Ferguson In a recent essay, we advanced a proposal for sub-federal governments to sell municipal bonds to their own public banks. We took the city as our primary pointโ€ฆ

"Our plan ... replaces the opaque and volatile shadows of private intermediation with a transparent, public-facing mechanism anchored in the enduring fiscal authority of the city government."

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just todayโ€™s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

" @drjamesehansen.bsky.social said he'd been told by NOAA colleagues that their conditions are much worse than those in NASA.
A NOAA scientist cannot speak with a reporter unless there is a 'listener' on the line with him or her. It seems more like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union than the US."

We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. โ€œI felt like I was going to pass out and die,โ€ said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government ...

Under DHSโ€™ use-of-force policy, moves that cut off a person's breathing โ€œmust not be used as a means to control non-compliant subjects or persons resisting arrest.โ€

But videos we reviewed showed agents using these restraints to do just that.

Masked federal agents removing crates of belongings from the ICE shooter's home

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

The federal government creates its own dollars. It spends dollars into existence and taxes them out of existence. It literally doesn't need California tax dollars.

I think it's more of a spectrum than a binary. Voting still matters. Just not as much as it should. And mostly as a defense from things getting even worse.

A government deficit = A domestic private surplus

World reserve currency means our government must print enough dollars to keep both our domestic economy in dollar surplus as well as supply the world with dollars by running trade deficits

Everyone uses their dollars to buy a treasury bond
