He wished MF45 would shut up. That would help stabilize markets if someone took his cell away.

The Dems need to set the narrative on this before Trump and the Repugs do.

The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note was at 1.623%, below the 2-year yield at 1.634%.
The last inversion of this part of the yield curve was in December 2005, two years before a recession brought on by the financial crisis hit.
A recession occurs, on average, 22 months following such an inversion, according to Credit Suisse.
