NEW: #PASen candidate Dr. Oz has a secret, previously undisclosed condo in NJ. And his tenants, well, are his buddies and Turkish nationalists who are linked to groups that have denied the Armenian genocide. With @WillBredderman for @thedailybeast thedailybeast.com/dr-mehmet-oz-h

Dear

, reposting screenshot of your tweet that you deleted. "Laid a wreath at the Memorial to the Victims of Armenian Genocide." Be BRAVE & repost the tweet! Don't be afraid to use the G word. Raphael Lemkin coined the term Genocide to describe the #Armenian #Genocide.

Exactly! Recession or no #recession, many everyday Americans are struggling because of the elevated #inflation.

Quote Tweet

At the same time, it's important to remember that just because we aren't in a recession doesn't mean the economy is going well for people. Inflation is outpacing wage growth. Supply chains remain disrupted.

Recession or no recession, states are facing longer-term fiscal challenges!

We get the first estimate of second quarter G.D.P. on Thursday, and it's quite likely that it will show the second-straight contraction. That is a common definition of a recession, but it is NOT the official one.

The U.S. was finally starting to make progress on its decades-old housing shortage. Now builders are hitting the brakes—not b/c the shortage is gone, but b/c rising rates are killing demand. What that reveals about the housing crisis. w/

We Need to Keep Building Houses, Even if No One Wants to Buy

Right now, builders have too many homes and not enough people to sell them to. In the long term, the United States has the opposite problem: Not enough houses for all the people who want them.

Take a good look at this map. Crete, Rhodes, Lesvos, Chios, Samos all consumed by Turkey. Α fever dream of extremists or Turkey’s official policy? Another provocation or the true goal? President Erdogan must make his position clear on his junior coalition partner's latest antics.

Turkey, Azerbaijan and Pakistan have all sworn to support each other’s territorial ambitions against Greece, Armenia and India. It’s easy to laugh and mock at such maps, but these are very clear announcements of intention and must be treated with the utmost seriousness.

States' fiscal policies shouldn't be partisan and should be focused on the equity, economic growth, and productivity. The reality sadly is often the opposite: partisan interests and policies, creating unnecessary division and turmoil.
