The Federal Reserve is expected to keep its key rate steady on Wednesday, after a series of cuts that lowered rates by a full percentage point last year.

Q: Last year, I lost my entire 401(k) — $114,000 — after Paychex mailed me physical rollover checks instead of doing a secure transfer. The checks were intercepted and fraudulently cashed.

Scary stuff, this. Unrelatedly, this is a periodic reminder that I'm almost entirely over on 🧵🧵🧵 now. Same handle. Miss you all! Come over and play, higher ed and money twiXXer.
This administration is both importing voters and creating a national security threat from unvetted illegal immigrants. It is highly probable that the groundwork is being laid for something far worse than 9/11. Just a matter of time. https://t.co/kuilPxAvv3
