This is an intimate interview with Ukrainian President Zelensky unlike any I've seen recently. Speaking with my colleague Barak Ravid, he was candid, emotional and very human. He's increasingly hopeful for his country. WATCH The Axios Show: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kwZ...

The new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas will NOT apply to existing visa holders when it goes into effect Sunday, per a White House official. (Some lawyers and companies had warned existing holders to rush back to the U.S. today to avoid the fee.) www.axios.com/2025/09/20/t...

One of President Trump's major campaign promises was to lower grocery prices. By and large, they're higher than they were last month and last year, some categories by double digits. My latest with @kellytyko.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/09/11/t...

THE AXIOS SHOW exclusive: After taking a stake in Intel and a cut of Nvidia's chip sales in China, the U.S. government may next target a share of the money generated by patents developed at major universities using federal funding, Howard Lutnick says

The White House said late Friday it may let trade partners negotiate lower tariffs on ... Hair? Parrots? Edible crickets? www.axios.com/2025/09/06/t...

Chairman of the board? No, chairman of ALL boards. President Trump has assumed a quasi-authority to orchestrate how the private sector operates, broadly and at individual company levels. No one's stopping him, so he confidently plows ahead. My latest for @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/08/26/t...

I want to talk to you about your kids’ K-12 new school AI policies this year. For an @axios.com story. Please share this most with anyone. I’m at Megan.Morrone@Axios

New at Axios: Google debuts its Ai-infused Pixel 10 lineup as it looks to get a boost before Apple’s iPhone launch.

Data out this morning from the BLS shows import prices of edible vegetables have risen more than 5% in the last two months.

The White House is now scoring companies and trade associations on their loyalty to the administration's priorities, starting with support for the BBB. Uber, DoorDash, Delta, United, AT&T, Cisco, and trade groups for steel and airlines among those topping the list. www.axios.com/2025/08/15/w...

ICYMI, the eye-popper in today's PPI: a 39% rise in wholesale fresh vegetable prices. It's the largest month-on-month increase ever recorded in the summer (data to 1947), and one of the ten largest ever, regardless of season. With the estimable @alexjamesfitz.com www.axios.com/2025/08/14/i...

The solicitor general of the United States says Social Security and Medicare could collapse if Trump's tariffs are struck down by a court — claiming the gov't would have to repay money it hasn't been paid from deals it hasn't finalized. www.axios.com/2025/08/11/s...

Where you ask matters as much as what you ask. Truth Social's new AI search tool, powered by Perplexity, appears to use a limited set of sources - Fox News, Epoch Times, Washington Times - to answer queries. The same questions on Perplexity's site use more sources. www.axios.com/2025/08/06/t...

“.. While you can quibble with this or that estimate or figure, the order of magnitudes make it pretty clear that AI itself is not enough to buoy the economy, sales, or earnings ahead ..” @axios.com www.axios.com/newsletters/...

No one, and I mean no one, hits nails on heads all day long like the estimable Zach Basu. Read this and in 500 words you'll understand the entire world of the last week.

Commerce Sec. Lutnick insists the August 1 tariff deadline is real, no TACOs — and he projects they could generate $700 billion to $1 trillion a year in revenue, perhaps the highest figure yet from the administration. www.axios.com/2025/07/27/t...

Sec. Lutnick with a number of #timestamp comments on trade this morning: * Baseline tariff rates will be 10%, not higher * Aug. 1 is a hard deadline for new tariffs * The USMCA will be renegotiated next year www.axios.com/2025/07/20/t...

If I told you one year ago that a future president was going to: * Impose 30% tariffs on the largest US trading partners * Threaten to fire the Fed chair * Provide weapons for a war against Russia And stocks would close HIGHER on the news, would you have believed me?

Oh so it's gonna be that kind of week huh

Big @neilirwin.bsky.social scoop for @axios.com — the Federal Reserve has asked its inspector general to look into its $2.5 billion HQ renovation project, which has suddenly become a possible lever for the Trump administration to oust chair Jerome Powell. www.axios.com/2025/07/14/t...

NEW: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, bristling at Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's warning of a looming white-collar apocalypse, tells Axios that AI will create vastly more and superior jobs. “I don't know why AI companies are trying to scare us.”

🚨 Trump threatens EU, Mexico with 30% tariff rates The intrigue: Canada gets a higher tariff than Mexico over fentanyl flows, even though fentanyl seizures at the Mexican border are 20x the Canadian border. www.axios.com/2025/07/12/t...

Elon Musk spent more than $250 million getting Donald Trump elected last year. His public, real-time blow-up with Trump today has just cost him somewhere north of $11 billion. www.axios.com/2025/06/05/t...

"Elon was butthurt." Always read @axios.com. www.axios.com/2025/06/03/e...

You might be surprised how many of my commuter town's residents have said their employers won't let them WFH, even though the alternatives are arduous, double or triple the commute time, and also 2x-3x the commute cost.

Thursday: USDA says commodity exports are plunging. Sunday: Secretary of Agriculture says Trump is fully prepared to bail out farmers, just like the $61 billion in "trade aid" during his first term. www.axios.com/2025/04/27/f...

Important @axios.com scoop from Courtenay Brown - the GOP head of the House task force on the Fed says Congress needs to protect the central bank's independence. www.axios.com/2025/04/22/t...

It’s not every day you hear a Treasury secretary criticize the stock market as “euphoric” and describe a correction as “healthy.” But these are different times … www.axios.com/2025/03/16/b...

Important piece from @neilirwin.bsky.social on the economy: "The good news: There is no solid evidence right now that the economy is in recession, or even particularly close to it. The bad news is that warning bells of what is to come are ringing every which way." www.axios.com/2025/03/15/e...

Something something no one wants to be long the weekend etc etc

Update - sun’s shining, sky’s blue, not a cloud in sight. Scientists 1, apps 0.

I have now twice accidentally clicked on the Meta AI button on Facebook posts. First post was about my local weather, and it gave me a forecast for a city 700 miles away. Second was today, when a random baseball post returned information that was more than a full season out of date.

Kid announces this morning he’s not going to school two days this week because his weather app says we’re getting 13-16” of snow Thursday. Told him there was zero guarantee of that whatsoever, and some models said there’d be no snow at al. Kid looks me like I’m an idiot. “The app says …” 🤦‍♂️

Shout-out to literally everyone at Axios who, faced with an outage, said "right, Plan B" and just kept on going ...

Bureau of Labor Statistics is changing the "pet food" index to "pet food and treats." www.bls.gov/cpi/notices/... I see Big Dog has gotten to the government. What sort of ear scritches and belly rubs changed hands behind the scenes, you wonder?

NEW: Labor groups representing millions of workers asked a federal court for a temporary restraining order to keep Elon Musk and DOGE from getting at the Bureau of Labor Statistics — and some of the world's most sensitive economic data. www.axios.com/2025/02/06/m...

Take. My. Money. Now. (I miss my Pebble more than I miss my Blackberry, and that's saying a lot.)

The anatomy of a bubble bursting: What happens when something gets hyped, valuations soar, and then a negative headline sends everyone heading for the hills in a panic? www.axios.com/2025/01/27/b...

Were you concerned about the price of eggs hitting new all-time records? Coffee’s headed there too after Trump imposed emergency tariffs on Colombia. The consumer’s breakfast pain is going to be very real in a couple weeks. www.axios.com/2025/01/26/t...

Local grocery is not only rationing eggs (2 cartons per buyer), they have an employee posted at the door preventing people from coming back in and buying more after they hit the limit. Not since April 2020 have I seen a store need to physically enforce grocery rationing. #eggflation

Big Friday night first from @emilypeck.bsky.social @axios.com - OPM has sent a memo to federal agencies telling them to start firing DEI workers as soon as possible. (They were previously told to prepare lists of potential firings by Jan. 31.) www.axios.com/2025/01/25/t...
