Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

excellent letter from Coons, Murray, SChumer and Collins supporting Israel defensively but questioning preparation and demanding consultation. Strikes me as good policy and good politics.

Interesting peek into how tariffs may shorten the lifespan of Social Security — by requiring higher cost-of-living adjustments and suppressing the number of jobs/workers who pay into the fund. (A lower birth rate doesn’t help.) @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/b...

Schatz: People are seeing what chaos really looks like. We are on the brink of some very dangerous developments in the Middle East, and we have chaos inside the US—not chaos the federal government can’t control, but chaos the federal government is, in some instances, precipitating or making worse.
