This got lost in the shuffle yesterday -- MSNBC's @SRuhle, who interviewed Chase CEO Jamie Dimon in August, also filmed promotional spots for the bank washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi…
"I'm excited to be part of Chase Chats webcast. I hope you'll join us."
Part of being a business reporter is critically examining the wealthy and powerful institutions that shape society. Difficult to do that effectively when you're also teaming up with those very institutions for "Chase Chats webcasts" and the like.

"WHY IS THERE A LIZARD IN MY CLOSET" is a thing that gets shouted in this house more often than you might suspect
apparently "because he likes sitting on your sweaters" is not an acceptable answer??
I try to give him lightly supervised roaming time each day. The things I supervise for are the danger of him getting inadvertently stepped on by the dog or the kids, and the danger of him taking a dump someplace where he shouldn't (eg, a stack of sweaters)

Federal taxes paid, first year in office

Ronald Reagan: $165,202
George H.W. Bush: $101,382
Bill Clinton: $62,670
George W. Bush: $250,221
Barack Obama: $1,792,414
Donald Trump: $750
One thing I'm hearing a lot is "well duh Trump donates his salary." Per the IRS the max charitable writeoff is 50% of the donation. $400k in donations leaves him with $200k to pay taxes on.

And that's in addition to the millions his other ventures make.

NEW: The United States is undergoing "substantial autocratization" under Trump. Historic data show that only 1 in 5 democracies that start down this path are able to reverse the damage before succumbing to full-blown autocracy. washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
“Everything we see in terms of decline on these [democratic] indicators is exactly the pattern of decline” seen in other autocratizing nations, like Turkey and Hungary, one expert told me. washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
“Executive respect for the Constitution is now at the lowest level since 1865,” another one told me. “Corruption in the executive branch is basically the worst since Harding.” washingtonpost.com/business/2020/…
