Judge denies bail for Ghislaine Maxwell after she pleads not guilty in Jeffrey Epstein sex crimes case
A federal judge denied bail for Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite accused of facilitating the sexual abuse of young girls by her former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein, the now-dead investor. Epstein, who killed himself, was a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, as well as of Britain’s Prince Andrew. Lawyers for Maxwell had proposed she be released on $5 million bond. Prosecutors want her detained without bail, calling her an extreme flight risk. “Not guilty,” Maxwell said before a judge scheduled her trial to begin on July 12, 2021.

Tate Reeves is the Republican governor of Mississippi. He's also an economics major who worked for a bank prior to getting into politics. In other words, he knows numbers. Which brings me to a series of tweets from Reeves earlier this week in which he systematically destroyed the argument that everyone should just get Covid-19 now so that we build up a herd immunity. (The geniuses behind that theory of the case are some of the same ones pushing for young people to have coronavirus parties so everyone there gets exposed.) ... Reeves isn't the only Republican governor using logic -- and data -- to help limit the recent surges in the virus. On Wednesday, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) announced a statewide mask mandate. "We're almost to the point where our hospital ICUs are overwhelmed," she said. "Folks, the numbers just do not lie." Unfortunately, not all Republican governors are being as reasonable. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R), who has resisted mandating mask-wearing in his state, announced Wednesday that he had tested positive for coronavirus, the first governor in the country to do so. "I was pretty shocked that I was the first governor to get it," Stitt said. He shouldn't be.

Washington counties cannot move to the next phases of reopening for at least another two weeks, and it's possible that openings could be rolled back. As coronavirus cases continue to increase across the state, Gov. Jay Inslee extended a pause Tuesday on reopening the economy to July 28 and warned there was a “significant chance” restrictions could be reinstated if the state doesn't get a handle on rising coronavirus cases.

Unlimited Government: Central Banks and Federal Spending during the Corona Crisis
The rising unemployment and missed mortgage and rental payments will be linked to the government-mandated shutdowns, but the overall economy was already weak beforehand despite record stock markets and record low unemployment in late February. Savings were low and debt at all levels was very high. Job openings hit a record high in early December 2019 and were declining noticeably well before the virus and shutdowns hit. Therefore, I was expecting a weak economy in 2020 and the shutdowns brought it about sooner than anticipated and have no doubt made it worse. So, we have in effect both a business cycle depression and the economic restriction of the lockdown at the same time. I would not have been surprised if we had reached 10 percent unemployment, but obviously it would not have occurred so quickly without the shutdowns.
