Two things can be true at once: the U.S. is more energy independent than in the 1970s, and an energy shock can still raise inflation. Independence isn’t immunity.

Fed chair: one of the rare jobs where a bad call can echo through the entire world economy. So yes, I am old-fashioned enough to think boyish good looks and "no regrets" might be underqualified.

Sen. Warren: "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?" Handsome Kevin: "ummm... errr... " His response raises real questions about whether Warsh is independent of the President and if he has the courage to tell hard truths.

"The big story right now is oil. The next story is food." ⁣ ⁣ That's the transmission channel people miss: if fertilizer is "caught on the wrong side of the Strait of Hormuz," food prices can be next.

“There is no price tag in the economy as tall as gas prices, and that you pass as often.”⁣ ⁣ Visibility matters. Economics isn't just about prices; it's about attention. Gas prices shape how people feel about the economy because they're impossible to ignore.

"Every time the president leans into belligerence... the stock market falls." Markets can’t vote, but they can mark down the price of risk.

Two things can be true at once: the price effect on U.S. drivers may be modest, and the geopolitical effect may be serious. Econ isn’t just about what you pay today; it’s also about who gains power tomorrow.

Bottom line: the issue isn't only what Iran can do. It's that everyone now knows what Iran can do. Revealed vulnerability changes bargaining power.

It's a huge problem to live on $174,000.00 a year and get free food, medical and a housing allowance. It must be difficult. You obviously have a house in your district. And you get a housing allowance. Insider trading is illegal. Stop making excuses. #USDemocracy

Stephen A Smith sexually harassed Chiney Ogwumike on air, and when Coach Jackie made a video about it, Shaq (yes, Shaquille O’Neal) wrote a rude and condescending comment on Jackie’s video. As a sexual harassment researcher who studied French and grew up watching Shaq, I had to weigh in.
