We've cut 125 bps in the past 12 months and markets are pricing 100% chance of two more cuts in the next 3 months, while 10y BEI is 2.4%. Pretty wild stuff when core PCE has been above target for 18 straight quarters and 20 seems to be a lock.

Trump: 'We are so broke 15 million people need to lose their health insurance.' Also Trump: www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-...

Ask yourself if this is the kind of country you want to live in

real fuckin bleak how many liberals and leftists are boiling their brains every day on the Nazi app

TBH I think she earned this. But they should absolutely be protesting the current president as often as possible.

NEW: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court. The latest? A new ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations from now on. The author took it as an opportunity to say Hawaii's court will protect due process—while SCOTUS isn't:

The unstoppable force of "America is always bad" vs the immovable object of "Marx directly wrote about and praised Abraham Lincoln"

One of the things that jumps out at me in these interviews: like Trump, these people don’t know anything about anything

Amidst everything else, this sure sounds like a recipe for hyperinflation

1. This piece by Roge Karma is absolutely worth reading - www.theatlantic.com/economy/arch... . If the Supreme Court allows Trump to fire Lisa Cook, the consequences are likely to be disastrous. key points:

But being an active and willing participant in evil isn’t the same thing as being irredeemable! that should also be said. People can and do change.

supreme court please stunt on these people and allow Trump to nuke their finances

you cannot "smolbeanify" the moral agency of millions of people who decided to enshitty the rest of the world, whether it be USAID, climate change, or whatever

i'm sorry, but if you think voters should avoid the consequences of what they voted for, you don't actually believe in democratic accountability: Trump ran on tariffs. They are getting tariffs. Voters will learn that tariffs are bad.

My expectations for the people who have had a proximate impact on my country’s fate were low but what

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered virtually all of the U.S. military’s top commanders worldwide to gather on short notice — and without a stated reason — at a Marine Corps base in Virginia next week. Here’s what we know:

David Roediger's SINKING MIDDLE CLASS is a great book on the delusions of class mobility and "middle class ideology" and helps explain this moron

lmao

when your party tries to muscle a charismatic normie lib run by Lis Smith out of a Senate race in favor of a dead-eyed parody of a Michigan focus group your party has lost its damn mind

OK, presidency scholars and historians: Has any previous sitting president ever publicly admitted to hating *any* US citizen? Let alone bragging about it. I can't recall one.

So the poverty rate was lower during a period of the pandemic when the economy was in fact not great. And it's because the government showed they actually could provide a generous safety net. The Manchin and the GOP killed it. Like there is a great leftwing story here that Jacobin just misses.

This Korean worker raid seems like it might turn out to be a major turning point in the US economy — and the astounding thing is it’s not clear anyone senior in government approved it? At the very least: There appear to be no consequences for the people who launched it.

Two thirds of Americans are not Trump voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...

US GDP Annualized (Q/Q) Q2 T: 3.8% (est 3.3%; prev 3.3%) - Personal Consumption: 2.5% (est 1.7%; prev 1.6%) - GDP Price Index: 2.1% (est 2.0%; prev 2.0%) - Core PCE Price Index(Q/Q): 2.6% (est 2.5%; prev 2.5%)

is this the boomer myth that they were all the victim of a cultural shift so significant they can't actually be responsible for anything they said or did last century

Shorter headline: Trump is holding the entire government hostage to his unconstitutional power grab to make Congress irrelevant www.cnn.com/2025/09/24/p...

I spoke extensively with the Crimson reporter. She understood the strength of the evidence, and it shows. Odds ratios can be eye-glazing, but let's just say that when 2.5 million kids are studied, and it's still not possible to detect added risk from taking acetaminophen...there's no added risk.

I’m sorry, the message was literally “ANTI-ICE” written in pen?

this is plainly illegal, and if they'd wanted to do it, they'd have done it before anyway. they're bluffing and they know they're bluffing. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

OK also regardless of where you place this on the L-R spectrum, can we PLEASE stop acting as if this kind of posture isn’t a politics? This is a politics! Just bc it’s bad politics doesn’t make it not politics. bsky.app/profile/mehd...

When you've lost the WSJ. RFK Jr. was called out by the editors of the Wall Street Journal opinion page for declaring war on Tylenol as a putative cause of autism cases, claiming he is doing it in the service of pals who will profit from the accusations.

This is an impeachable offense. Democrats, say it!

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪 Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students. I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

Trump finally revived a dying industry

That's how you write a headline

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

Milei has been in office since December 2023. With less than two years of his libertarian policies, Argentina now needs a major to save its economy. And our far-right government, that is emulating those policies, is preparing to give that bailout.

Eat the soy, patriotic white boy

Read that again. Trump-appointed Kennedy Center head Ric Grenell specifically set aside a block of 50 seats at the Kennedy Center so a group of Trumpers could heckle a Black woman performer. www.washingtonian.com/2025/09/23/l...

As soon Cruz came out and planted the flag, I knew there'd be more to the story.

This is punchy, and if they overshoot like they did on peaking emissions it's going to *radically* change the global carbon picture. *CHINA PLEDGES TO CUT EMISSIONS 7%-10% BY 2035 FROM PEAK LEVELS
