Hopkins' financial freeze: grants gone. #econsky
We just got an email that Hopkins is freezing salaries, hiring, and some construction projects. In addition to the 800 million USAID we lost, we’ve had another 50 million in grants canceled so far. And a 2/3 year over year decline in funded grants despite an increase in submissions

Just a quick update on flight safety. It's on everyone's minds and I would like to provide a very important statistic.
So far, in 2025, we have had the most aircraft related fatalities in the US since 2001.
And yes, we are referring to 9/11.
It's only May.

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens.
The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago.
Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

This is some galaxy brain tariff shit right here. "Tariff charged to the U.S" is not related to taxes or regulations or non-tariff barriers - I expected some lip service at least lol.
It is the greater of: 1 - (imports from the US/exports to the US) or 10%

If you’re in the US, you can watch PBS for free using the app. There’s a series of documentaries called American Experience that’s really good—each is about a different event in history.
Go watch The one about the Gilded Age in season 30.
It feels so familiar, it’s genuinely eerie.
