Debt by itself is a lousy guide. A $500,000 mortgage can be manageable or terrifying depending on salary, rates, and future earnings. Same with countries: the real question isn’t “how much debt?” but “can they carry it?”

Economists call this diminishing marginal utility. The first dollars change your life. The billionth doesn't. So the argument stops being about consumption and starts being about power.

"If your local bakery loses one of its ovens, the whole neighborhood ends up having to get by with less bread." That's the whole game. Markets can calm fast; physical production can't.

Consumer sentiment is near a 75-year low.⁣ ⁣ But increasingly, these surveys may be measuring partisanship as much as economics.⁣ ⁣ In other words, they may be asking “Do you like the president?” as much as “Do you like the economy?”

The platypus has a sixth sense — it picks up signals invisible to everyone else. That's what good economics gives you. The promise: see clearly in murky waters.

Some simple economics of the Met Gala: $42 million raised sounds enormous. It is. But economics is about compared with what? If the Met Gala creates far more value for fashion brands than for the museum, then the ticket price is probably too low.

Private credit now wants retail money: because apparently the lesson from finance was, 'What if we made shadow banking available in family size?'

Here’s the thing—especially on April 15: cutting the IRS isn't some abstract budget trim. It's a tax cut delivered through weaker enforcement. And it mostly goes to people with the most scope to hide income.

The problem with a gas tax holiday? Lower gas prices encourage more driving.⁣ ⁣ If the goal is relief, send checks based on last year's gas spending instead. Similar help for households, without increasing demand.

Why do economists obsess over uncertainty? Because waiting is easy. If the news might clear soon, firms delay big irreversible decisions. Multiply that across the economy and growth softens.

No tricks. No shortcuts. Just how it works. If you consistently use more energy than you take in… your weight goes down over time. If you don’t… it won’t. That’s why random “good days” don’t do much. It’s the consistent habits that move the needle. 👉 Not perfect 👉 Not extreme 👉 Just consistent

Knicks look to unlock Jalen Brunson. Use Shamet as a screener to get Mitchell in action. Big key is Cleveland does not automatically switch. That does open up another side. KAT now goes to screen, reject engages Mobley who was dropped back. KAT pops and is now able to drive.

Trump says he's uncertain about attending his son's wedding, citing Iran and other pressing matters as timing concerns.

Part two: dragging Serbia’s alleged "pro-Western activist-intellectual crowd" for the usual: - “It’s not time yet” - “First, let’s take down this 🇷🇸 gov't” - “We’re pro-EU, but only on our terms” etc A special circle of hypocritical hell for the fensers: “It doesn’t matter, the people are to blame”👇

The Trump administration has subpoenaed Hasan Abi and Fox News has now assigned reporters to watch all his Twitch streams. I see how deeply concerned he is about these actions.

This is who Trump nominates to the judiciary: folks who don't know what the law actually says. I'm not talking about arcane precedents found in the Federal Reporter. These guys *do not know what the Constitution says*. How can they fair & unbiased arbiters of laws they do not know or understand?🤦‍♂️

On the night of June 3, Ukraine struck Russia's St. Petersburg Oil Terminal. As reported by Ukraine's President Zelenskyy, the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal, which supports Russia's war effort, was hit overnight. Another target was an enterprise in Russia's Tambov region that produced weapons.

Today, we joined 15 states suing to block the Trump Admin’s unlawful overhaul of the childhood immunization schedule. Trump and RFK Jr. are putting children at risk by ignoring science and bypassing federal law. We're taking action to protect families, support doctors, and uphold the rule of law.

Of course, Trump won't give up on his $1.8bn fund for Jan 6 rioters (ultimately, we suspect, for himself). He's never accepted a no, certainly no democratic decision (Jan 6 alone is evidence enough). He'll rename it & try again, with less publicity, more lying, better arm-twisting. Jon Karl for ABC:
