moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.
one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

NYC is way too expensive — but some of the best things are free.
Earlier this week, I met up with some new friends at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center to watch some qualifying matches.
US Open Fan Week runs through Saturday. And it's free.

Last month CBO estimated the costs of 10% tariffs. Now Trump is saying 25. Should you just multiply by 2.5? No. Basic economics says the loss from tariffs is nonlinear, to a first approximation the square of the tariff rate. Trump has promised 6x WORSE than CBO analyzed

We tend to focus on the short-term trends, but it's worth taking a step back: Inflation has come down a *lot* from its peak. Headline now down to 3% y/y. Core at 3.5%. Those are still above the Fed's target and prepandemic levels, but it's a radically different story than a year ago.

The Fed's preferred measure of underlying inflation, measured over 6 mos at an annual rate, has declined from 4.5 to 2.5 over the past 6 months. So, if underlying inflation can fall almost in half without a major rise in unemployment, in what sense was it "underlying"?
