This Administration is hiding the true economic state in page 3 of these revisions. “Profits from current production…downward revision of $58.7 BILLION”!

A recent analysis of Alphabet, Amazon and Meta by Barclays estimated that higher depreciation costs would shave 5-10% from their earnings per share. Apply this logic to the entire AI big five and the potential overall hit to the bottom line is huge

Software + Tech Bubble 2.0? In terms of contribution to GDP, we've never seen a surge in tech & software investment of this scale. For some perspective, here's the contribution to real GDP growth from businesses investing in software and technology since 1960. #EconSky

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

So Papantir has a higher market cap than the annual GDP of Philippines, Denmark, New Zealand, or Vietnam. Seems a little bubbly to me…

Even as more PE firms turn into zombies, Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies want them to manage YOUR retirements savings. Another Trump giveaway to Wall Street at the expense of working Americans.

Footage of deadly ICE shooting in Chicago suburb challenges official narrative - www.reuters.com/world/us/pol...

Coincidence the market is finally having a down day at the same time Fat Bear Week starts?

Stephen Miran just gave a speech outlining the logic of his Fed vote. It's this: He assumes every cockamamie White House talking point is true, feeds them into a model, and out pops the massive rate cut the President demanded. He has unwittingly become a walking advertisement for Fed Independence

This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing. Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.

Donald Trump and Republicans control the House, the Senate and the White House. Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1, but instead Republicans made health care more expensive. Now Republicans are causing more economic chaos by shutting down the government.

Argentina is a country with massive, unrealized potential. It needs foreign capital inflows to realize that potential, but it's been shut out from global capital markets ever since 2018. The way to fix that is to float the currency and make it cheap, not prop it up at artificially strong levels...

Don't let the bleeding-heart liberals fool you. This is all totally worth it to make sure billionaires can have tax breaks.

US could hit entire International Criminal Court with sanctions soon - www.reuters.com/world/live-f...

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I sat down with my friends at Marketplace to discuss America's shift away from the invisible hand, toward the guiding hand, the heavy hand, and the grabbing hand. Honestly, it's a pretty great conversation (and it starts at 4:44). www.marketplace.org/episode/2025...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

Are Republicans intentionally trying to ruin our lives? 1. Outlaw women’s reproductive rights 2. Take away health care from poor and elderly 3. Prevent folks from getting vaccines 4. Give tax money to computer chip companies Like what???

US Treasury's Bessent made contradictory mortgage pledges, Bloomberg reports - www.reuters.com/business/fin...

House Republicans just voted down my amendments to fully fund Meals on Wheels and HIV/AIDS prevention. They're happy to give even more to the wealthiest with giant tax breaks, but when it comes to helping people in need, there's never enough to go around.

Happy Belated Birthday to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson whose birthday was Sunday. She was born September 14, 1970.

Fun fact: According to our Supreme Court, Trump cannot be sued because he's the president, but he can sue whoever he wants in his personal capacity Here he is suing the New York Times for $15 billion for endorsing Kamala Harris

Here’s how the “invest-in-America” playbook is going. @cnbc.com #Hyundai www.cnbc.com/2025/09/16/t...

Uncertainty hurts demand. Tariffs raise costs. Immigration crackdowns shrink the workforce. Add them together, and here we are: Uncertain, unhappy, and worried.

Economic policy metaphor: The Fed is a careful driver allowing the economy to coast rather than leaving a foot on the brake. Trump is the guy yelling “floor it!” in a school zone.

Trump risks pushing Modi into the arms of China and Russia as he dials up the threats against India.

JD Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.” Charlie Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

Next thing they’ll be calling on everyone to stone the sparrows and melt their cutlery to make steel. Oh wait, they did just kick out the Korean tech experts and tariff food imports for “locally grown” coffee (good luck with that), so hey, not far off.

Trump campaigned on lowering grocery prices. All major grocery categories are now more expensive than they were a year ago. https://www.axios.com/2025/09/11/trump-tariffs-grocery-prices-rise-cpi

The 12 profiles featured in this edited book highlight the positive aspects of the U.S.-China engagement, which began in earnest after diplomatic relations were established in 1979.

Reporter: The president of Venezuela called the strike on the boat illegal Trump: What’s illegal is the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs

A sneering midwit with inherited wealth got the facts wrong, and accused an honest public servant—Lisa Cook—of fraud. His meddling created a crisis well beyond his portfolio, undermining the Fed. Bill Pulte can do the right thing and resign. If merit still matters, he should be fired.

“Our employers told us it was ok… I will never visit 🇺🇸 again. It feels good to be free.” Hundreds of South Korean workers detained in shackles landed home, met by family who tearfully hugged them. Arrested building a factory to employ thousands. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/w...

Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!

“.. Their roundup and the .. video showing some Korean workers shackled with chains around their hands, ankles and waists have caused public outrage and a sense of betrayal in South Korea, a key U.S. ally.” @apnews.com #Hyundai apnews.com/article/sout...

You tell’em! They have no leg to stand on!

If the Republicans cared about the public's wellbeing, they wouldn't have confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the US Department of Health and Human Services.
