Eugh. I love Estée Lauder products. Guess that's the last I'll be buying from them. Thank goodness for the fabulous French brand, Clarins, which works just as wonderfully.

Moodys Chief Economist Mark Zandi: “The (US) economy is on the precipice of recession…Consumer spending has flatlined, construction and manufacturing are contracting, and employment is set to fall. And with inflation on the rise, it is tough for the Fed to come to the rescue.”

This is a very useful paragraph from ‪@jasonfurman.bsky.social‬, and one that might explain our current tariff debacle.

Your Michigan Medicine colleagues would appreciate if you relay the message that a basic medicine we use 1000x per day in the hospital, heparin, is also dependent on China, and people will die without it

The morning after the election, I had a panicked thought: “My threat model is wrong.” I’d been giving privacy advice for years, but my counsel would not protect against an authoritarian president seeking revenge against political enemies. Tyranny was going to require a new threat model.

I did an interview with my alma mater, and the result is a useful long-form interview that might provide a useful primer on the current tariff mess, for those who want to dig in a bit further:

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

If the cost to American consumers was equal to the cost to producers (total guess), then the cost is $18 trillion. In more human terms, this is over $100,000 per household in net costs. What a waste.
