E-corono-mic Stimulus: An analysis of options
The economic fallout of the COVID-19 epidemic could be among its most severe impacts. Millions of people are losing jobs, thousands of businesses are closing, and many Americans are one paycheck away from homelessness – or they already are there.

A number of proposals have been floated in recent days to address this economic fallout. Only one is sufficient, but is it politically viable?

My brush with impeachment
The current impeachment proceedings have captured my attention and imagination, rendering me pretty much unproductive these days. (Luckily, my schedule affords this luxury.)
