Trump as Cyberbully in Chief? Twitter Attack on Union Boss Draws Fire

Donald J. Trump’s Twitter attacks on a leader of a blue-collar union local have raised concerns about how the president-elect will behave after he takes office.

We must take Donald Trump at his word.
He is being terribly consistent.

Stay Optimistic, Live Longer?

Increasing levels of optimism were tied to decreasing risks of death from cancer, heart disease, stroke and infections.

I will put some effort into the project.

Daily Report: In New Orleans, at Least, Airbnb Makes Peace

New Orleans has done what many cities have resisted: Cut a deal with a sharing-economy company. Is it a good one?

The Air B&B business model stinks.

The American Dream, Quantified at Last

Research shows that only half of Americans in their 30s earn more than their parents did at the same age. A few decades ago, nearly all adults did.

Getting economics wrong  has had a real effect.

Mr. Puzder, chief executive of the company behind Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., also strongly supports repealing the Affordable Care Act.

Trump is attempting to keep his word.

Woman Dies After Being Taken to Police Station From Hospital

A 34-year-old who was to appear for arraignment was found unconscious in her holding cell. The cause of death was not immediately determined.

It looks like the hospital failed to properly diagnose her.

America to Trump: Stop Tweeting; President-Elect Heads to Military Town, as Does Actual President

The phrase “only one commander in chief at a time” is getting a workout with Donald J. Trump. And a “faithless” elector emerges in Texas.

Mostly old news.

The building and fire codes are the result of experience.
They may need tightening.

Donald Trump Fires a Troll

Mike Flynn, Jr., was sacked from the transition team for spreading conspiracy theories. Now what about his dad?

The firing remains ornamental.
It is all a matter of timing.

Team Trump’s New Pledge on Tax Cuts

The next Treasury secretary says taxes will not drop for the rich. He should be held to the vow.

Easy words.
"What will Trump actually do? Who knows. Regardless, though, Mnuchin’s position is telling. At most, it suggests that Trump’s advisers are trying to figure out how to govern. At least, it indicates some of them realize that a tax cut for the rich is problematic, both economically and politically."
