The unrounded unemployment rate has risen every month so far in 2025. “.. At that slow but steady pace you are at ~4.7 percent unemployment at the end of year, consistent with some forecasts on tariff impact." @dailychartbook.bsky.social

I wrote about the contrived, retconned allegations against Abrego Garcia in April. There is absolutely no reason to think that the government is charging him based on anything other than the administration trying to save face. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Trump can't have it both ways. Either the economy is not only strong but "hot," and therefore doesn't need the Fed to stimulate it further. Or the economy is weak and struggling, and therefore the Fed needs to intervene and cuts rates. Which is it?

America did not storm the beaches at Normandy alone on June 6, 1944. We had allies who fought with us. Allies from Britain, Canada, Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and Poland. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

If anything, it is understated in our public consciousness how “North Korean” we have gotten in such a short period of time, even compared to Trump’s first term. We are only a few short months in and already upwards of a BILLION has been spent on making this one guy feel good about himself:

I wrote this musingly but the more I think about it, the more I think it's a serious question. A few things need to happen politically & legally for Trump to do this. But it's possible AND it could ultimately benefit Elon...which might also explain why this whole fallout feels weirdly staged. 🧵 1/

President Trump just said the Congressional Budget Office "is run by Democrats." CBO Director Phillip Swagel is a Republican, who worked in the George W. Bush White House.

Today, the CBO shared an update: The Republican tax bill, which could add $2.4 trillion to deficits over the next 10 years, would also generate about $551 billion in interest costs to service that debt over that time period.
