Legislators are debating the high-earner tax, and the phrase "moving their assets" keeps coming up. The enunciation is very important.

Culverts might seem like a boring topic, but billions of dollars worth of fixes to stream-choking culverts -- thanks to a lawsuit by Washington state's tribes -- is helping salmon recover. Great reporting by

It's unchartered, but we can see the terrain: the territory ahead includes masked secret police taking people to concentration camps but not new vaccines. That's our reward for a system in which fewer than 20 people, all of them deranged and malicious, control over $3 trillion.

The evidence from 2025 β revised jobs data, the inflation path, household balance sheets β increasingly suggests the economy did achieve something close to a soft landing in 2023-24. Tariffs mightβve scrambled it. Now the question is whether it can get back there.

The Economy May Have Stuck the Soft Landing. Nobody Wants to Jinx It.
Inflation is easing, jobs are holding up, and growth is solid. But after years of high prices and with new risks emerging, declarations of victory feel premature.

This looks like a pretty decent CPI report -Shelter comes in soft, down to 3.0% YoY - Fairly benign across the board Big pain points - natural gas up almost 10% for the year with 1/2 of that in the last 2 months - Food at home still looks rough

Went to grab lunch, and there is drama on the playground by my building. Some sort of dispute over handball, and they called for "jury" (haven't heard that in a long time). Apparently, that didn't satisfy anyone. We need to get these kids VAR.

Solid number January 2026 (+130k). However, the change in total nonfarm employment for 2025 was revised from +584,000 to +181,000 (seasonally adjusted). So much weaker than initially estimated

I will always enjoy Jody Allen just having a great time celebrating with the Hawks. I hate that the NFL is trying to force her to sell the team. She's the least problematic owner they've ever had. We're probably going to end up with some private equity goblins instead.
