The unspoken logic of Trump's tariff-for-tax swap is pure redistribution.
The light blue bars show the Trump tax plan creates bigger gains for the rich. He pays for this with tariffs—the dark blue bars—which raise the cost of living for all households in roughly equal measure.

IMF today said U.S. economy is the world’s best and getting better. Every American should be saying, Thank you Joe Biden.
If politics really is “the economy, stupid,” VP Kamala Harris should be getting some of the credit. If it was bad news, she’d certainly be getting the blame.

“I need the kind of generals that Hitler had”: In the closing days of his presidency and the years since, Donald Trump has grown more enamored of the advantages of dictatorship, and the control over the military he believes that it would deliver, @jeffreygoldberg reports: theatln.tc/9jroK24C

NEW: After offering to pay for the funeral of fallen soldier Vanessa Guillen, Trump got angry and said “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f*cking Mexican! Don't pay it." No money was ever received for the funeral. theatlantic.com/politics/arc…

Jerry Jones got extremely defensive on Tuesday morning in his appearance on @1053thefan and refused to address/acknowledge questions about the Dallas Cowboys' lack of spending and general roster building over the offseason.
What's more is he threatened (and confirmed he was serious) the hosts to have them removed for asking him the questions that made him so upset.

For the first time in 23 years the USA isn’t at war. It’s experiencing full employment and rising living standards not seen in decades. Crime and violence are falling to record lows. It’s energy independent.
Yet its leading candidate goes on about “civilizational collapse”

Everyone involved--everyone--should be deeply circumspect about this failure, above all we economists in how we communicate & think about the economy.
Also: traditional journalists in choosing how and, especially, what to write about; social media algorithms; & public officials
For 2 years, America has enjoyed robust growth with millions of jobs added, real wages rising, and inflation falling, but that's not what Americans believe The @GuardianUS found in a survey.
Almost 60% believe we are in a recession, which is crazy, fact-free nonsense.
