** How Trump Lost to the Coronavirus ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
by Will Marshall
Behind in the polls and flailing, President Trump ([link removed]) finally has met an opponent he can’t bully, belittle or bury in an avalanche of lies. Joe Biden ([link removed]) ? No, the coronavirus.
The pandemic is surging again ([link removed]) , just as the 2020 presidential election enters the final stretch. A frustrated Trump this week groused that the public is “tired” of hearing about the pandemic. Maybe so, but according to Five Thirty Eight’s daily tracker ([link removed]) of public opinion, two-thirds of Americans are very or somewhat concerned about COVID-19. Even more – 86 percent – are worried about the pandemic’s impact on the economy.

** The Mosaic Economic Project Launches, Bringing New Voices to the Table ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The Progressive Policy Institute proudly launched The Mosaic Economic Project on Monday this week, aiming to create a network of diverse women who are experts in economics and technology – fields where their perspectives are grossly underrepresented.
The mission of Mosaic is to train, connect, host and advocate for the participation of women, particularly minority women, in meaningful policy conversations. The first cohort of Mosaic participants will meet in November 2020. Women with subject matter expertise in economics, finance, technology, telecom and corporate governance are encouraged to apply by October 31 to be considered.

------------------------------------------------------------
by Ben Ritz
The explosive revelations ([link removed]) that self-proclaimed billionaire Donald Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes – a tiny fraction of what he paid the Chinese government through his secret bank account ([link removed]) – in recent years have focused overdue public attention on U.S. tax laws that seem designed to protect wealthy Americans.
