The public still knows very little about how President Trump has funded his business and to whom he might be financially beholden. As his disclosure forms show, he controls a skein of murky financial holdings tucked inside hundreds of shell companies. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
There are some key and crucial differences between what Mueller was investigating around conspiracy and obstruction of justice and what the House wants to examine inside of President Trump’s deals and financial transactions. bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“Financial conflicts of interests loomed over Trump from the earliest days of his presidency long before Mueller came on the scene.”

“Trump has managed to keep his health and academic records under cover and his ties to organized crime largely out of public view. He’s used a dizzying number of lies and exaggerations to mask his poor track record as a businessman, hide financial problems and inflate his wealth”
"It looks like all you have to do these days to dominate a news cycle and force the president of the United States to tee up a predictably bonkers press conference in the Rose Garden is to accuse him of engaging in a 'cover-up.'”

President Trump's responses to questions about gagging Don McGahn and criticizing Judge Amit Mehta's order to release the Trump Organization's accounting records show how fast and loose he's playing with Congress and the Constitution bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“Maybe if we really like it a lot and if things keep going like they’re going, we’ll go and we’ll do what we have to do, and we’ll have a three [presidential terms] and a four, and a five," Trump told a Pennsylvania crowd last night.
Steven Engel, the assistant AG who signed the DOJ memo allowing Trump's advisers to avoid testifying, is a recent Trump appointee who served in George W. Bush’s DOJ as well (and was the author of controversial memos providing legal grounds for using torture during the Iraq War).

President #Trump will meet with the President of Switzerland at the White House tomorrow. 🤔🤔🤔
I see several media people stating it probably has to do with Iran, which could very well be....

In the statement, though, it says they will discuss "matters such as Switzerland's role in facilitating diplomatic relationships AND OTHER INTERNATIONAL ISSUES."

I wonder if anything will come up about the Swiss banks and related investigations that have been going on. 🤔

 First some qualifications. I am first and foremost a financial economist, and by nature and study, fiscally conservative. Most finance academics are.

I care deeply about fiscal and monetary policy, but not obtuse enough to believe my opinion is always right

I try to refrain from many political topics, especially on this platform, because, what can be accomplished debating on @Twitter

Getting Better Sleep

"Any tips/recommendations/suggestions on how get better/more sleep?"

Simple question, with many different answers and possibilities.

Let's establish a few things first

1. You NEED to get 7-8 total hours of sleep nightly
1. You NEED to get 7-8 total hours of sleep nightly

Rarely do humans sleep 7-8 hours straight. Rather were evolved to sleep 3-4 hours, wake up, have sex, take a piss, drink some water, and then go back to sleep for another 3-4 hours
2. Our sleep cycle is directly tied to the sunrise and sunset. We are evolved to wake up when it gets light, and start to feel sluggish when it gets dark. Some people are more prone to being energetic late at night. Energetic does not mean insomnia.

Aadhaar Day 29. Rakesh Dwivedi is continuing.

RD talks about the presumption of constitutionality, and how Courts should first make small repairs if they find that laws are defective, instead of striking it down.
RD reads out S 8 of the Aadhaar Act.

He says that sharing and use of information is strictly confined and limited to the authentication process.
RD says that Section 29 of the Aadhaar Act should also be accordingly limited to the authentication process, and as per Section 8, core biometric information can never be shared.
