Thoughts And Prayers

I have covered many legislative committee meetings in my time under the golden dome, but I have never seen a worse outing for a new cabinet secretary than I did last week for Carl Ayers, the new secretary of the Department of Human Services.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 69 points, or 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.8%.
