Dear Reader,
The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

The Capital Spectator has rounded up the latest batch of forecasts for Q1 economic growth:
We’re still a month away from the official BEA estimate, but there’s a lot of agreement in these forecasts. If growth really has fallen to 1.4 percent, that will make three consecutive quarters of decline and surely raises the risk of a recession in the near term. This would be a great time for the Fed to lower rates, wouldn’t it?
