It's been nearly one year since Illinois eliminated cash bail and early data shows: - crime has decreased - jail populations have mostly decreased Judges are also explaining their detention decisions rather than just issuing a bond #twill

JUST IN: More good news on inflation. The US inflation rate cooled to 2.5% (y/y) in August, the lowest since February 2021. This gives the Fed and everyone else more confidence the inflation battle has been won. Lower gas prices, lower electricity costs and lower used car prices

JUST IN: A solid jobs report. The US added 142,000 jobs in August. That’s just below expectations of ~160k and a decent rebound from 89,000 jobs in July. The unemployment rate fell back to 4.2% (down from 4.3% in July) Wages: +3.8% in past year (well above 2.9% inflation)
