Seems like we are heading for a period of stagnation, no? Prices skyrocketing due to tariffs and the overall trade war, especially energy prices. Atlanta FED forecasting a sustained fall in GDP, i.e. a recession. Seems like these will be happening simultaneously. Scary situation for the future.

One way to understand Ontario’s retaliation is that it’s hitting marginal House members and any fallout on “blue states” is incidental. This is the GOP majority: NY-17 (Lawler in a D+3), NY-1 (LaLota, R+3), NY-2 (Garbarino, R+3), MI-7 (Barrett, R+2), MI-10 (James, R+3), even NY-21 (Stefanik, R+9).

This is a chart of the 10-year bond yield (longer-term) minus the 3-month (short-term) bond yield. When it goes negative (an "inversion"), it means short-term yields are higher than long-term yields. This is a reliable recession (gray) indicator. It's currently telling us a HUGE crash is likely.

How embarrassing is it when Stephen A. Smith has a much better feel for politics than the entire political consultant class. They get paid 6 figures to create political strategies that win elections. Their current best idea is, “we didn’t move far enough to the right, we need to triple down”

They've been getting away with every imaginable war crime on public display for 16 months. The governments of the world have sent them a clear message that nobody will stop them from doing anything they want to Palestinians. That's why they stopped putting any effort into pretending

The most immediately glaring and significant point about the Trump-Zelensky dustup is that Trump isn't laying that same kind of smackdown on Netanyahu right when the Israeli government is refusing to honor the Gaza ceasefire deal and move it to its second phase as agreed.

Reminder that a decline in inflation doesn’t mean lower prices, it simply means prices rise at a less steep rate. People are still struggling to afford the basics. Lower spending is a reflection of that. We live in an economy of greed which places profits above people’s lives and livelihoods.

Egg production is only down about 4% from last year, but prices have more than doubled. While the industry blames bird flu, critics are accusing the largest egg companies of price gauging. They point to the fact that corporate profits have soared in recent months.
