Fun fact about the Fed:
They have a dual mandate to maximize employment and minimize inflation.
The reason they took so long to cut rates is that Trump’s policies are hurting employment and tariffs threaten to boost inflation.
Stagflation is a real concern here.

Historically, SCOTUS has been known for its formal briefs, oral arguments and detailed written opinions, all full of legal reasoning. However, every action SCOTUS has taken in Trump-related cases this year has instead been through its emergency — or “shadow” — docket, and federal judges are fed up.

This Trump-packed Supreme Court is ramping up its reckless practice of providing ZERO rationale for striking down orders from appellate courts that rein in lawless acts by the Trump Admin.
Calling this ‘temporary’ doesn’t change the reality: they are enabling authoritarianism.

Chief justice allows Trump to fire a Democratic FTC commissioner for now
The ruling comes after an appeals court last week found that Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter could be reinstated to her job because the president had fired her “without cause.”

This is masculinity too
I love this so much and I am absolutely tearing up about it. The gentleness and plainness of this, the way he just lets her be her (and she seems so damn lovely, who wouldn’t?), the generosity.
It isn’t going to solve the world’s problems, but this kind of humanity is a hell of a start.

A question every reporter should be asking Trump and Republicans:
If Trump doesn't trust his own Director of National Intelligence, and by extension, US intelligence, then which country's intelligence is he relying upon?

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.
They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.
And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.
