Matt Taibbi | Three Colliding Problems Leading to a New Economic Disaster
Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone
Taibbi writes: "The soaring stock market has been the crux of Donald Trump's argument for the competence of his reign. It might be his favorite tweet subject, outside the 'Failing New York Times.' But since the market hit an all-time high on October 3rd, Trump has shifted his tweets to other subjects. This makes sense, given that it took a nasty dive."

Jamelle Bouie | Minority Rule Does Not Have to Be Here Forever: Arguing That the Framers Intended It Is Specious and Ignorant of History
Jamelle Bouie, Slate
Bouie writes: "Calls to transform the Senate, or create new states, or even 'pack the court' aren't attacks on norms; they are Americans doing the hard work of crafting a democracy that works for them, of taking seriously the idea that the Constitution exists for us, not us for the Constitution."

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, at least two individuals who took part in Friday’s street violence were members of the 211 Bootboys, a far-right skinhead gang based in Manhattan that had previously been tied to the brutal beating of two grad students at a bar in 2017. A third individual, who is listed as one of the NYPD’s persons of interest, has belonged to the Latino skinhead group Battalion 49 and previously attended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville last year.
We continue to investigate the violent incident on the UES on Friday night, and need information regarding these persons-of-interest. no complaints have been filed; If you were the victim of a crime, or have information about the incident, please call 1-800-577-TIPS. @NYPDTips

That trio of challenges has been created over a century and could take that long, or longer, to be reversed. That makes the southern resident orcas fragile, particularly given how much they have struggled to reproduce. Two-thirds of the group’s pregnancies from 2007 to 2014 failed. Not a single calf has survived more than three years.
