@TWolfXXXlll @BarackObama For years that’s the only history that was taught.

From our earliest days, Black history has always been American history – and Black folks have profoundly shaped our American culture through music, art, literature, sports, and beyond. One month a year is not sufficient to celebrate the power of the movements and the people who have fought for the rights we enjoy today. That’s something that we have to do each and every day, as we strive to live up to their example and make sure our children and grandchildren remember their stories.

@BarackObama So inspiring!

Paul Goldschmidt homered, a two-out solo shot in the top of the sixth. He's now passed Pete Alonso in RBI this season (103). He has two legs of the Triple Crown. I'm running out of things to say about him. He's just so, so good.

It’s amazing what we can do when we rethink how we use some of the space we devote to moving and storing cars. 📍 Millennium Park, Chicago

@elerianm @WSJ How does US reliance on QE end? Do investors still want to buy UST and MBS without this level of support?

This simple @WSJ chart on the evolution of the #Fed's balance sheet is a reminder of The scale of #Fed market intervention in the last 18 months; No slowing in purchases despite historically loose financial conditions; and Continued massive support for a red-hot #housing market.
