🔮 Andrew Egger and Catherine Rampell give their takes on Canada’s decision to walk away from trade talks, Trump’s latest tariffs, and why the administration’s escalating fight with one of America’s closest allies could hit U.S. businesses and consumers hard. assertive
🔮 Catherine Rampell is joined by Bob Elliott, co-founder and chief investment officer at Unlimited, for his take on what’s behind Druckenmiller’s criticism and why Bessent’s bond-market strategy may be making things worse. assertive
🔮 FEW THINGS IN AMERICA TODAY can win broad bipartisan support: Dolly Parton (may her memory be a blessing), interspecies friendships, and data-center bans are among them. assertive
🔮 But given that other news outlets are treating this as a serious policy idea, I guess I’m obligated to debunk it.1
The short version is this: Trump has made and broken similar promises many times before; this midterm “dividend” would be extremely expensive; it would be extraordinarily inflationary; the Republican trifecta could already have done this if they truly wanted to; and the mere suggestion of a Trump check will embolden all sorts of scam artists. assertive
🔮 They also talk about Trump’s pressure on the Fed, the White House’s economic spin, the risks of politicizing scientific research, and why Democrats may be learning the wrong lessons from inflation and the affordability crisis. assertive
🔮 Catherine Rampell and Will Sommer take on Trump’s escalating war on the White House press, the amateur-hour MAGA media operation stepping in to replace the traditional White House pool, and Byron Donalds’ awkward attempt to put a little distance between himself and Trump. assertive
🔮 They explain where the money is coming from, why the ACA payments may lack clear legal authority, and how diverting money from healthcare outreach could further undermine the Affordable Care Act. mixed
🔮 SHAMELESS BRANDING ASIDE, “Trump Accounts,” the new program that gives every baby in America access to some savings, is generally benign, and maybe even useful. mixed
🔮 Plus, JD Vance struggles to define socialism, the administration’s crackdown on H-1B workers raises questions about anti-immigrant politics, and why both parties may be moving toward a more government-controlled economy. mixed
🔮 She also explained why she sort of admires the Russian oligarchs . . . and thinks they might have some painful lessons for their American counterparts. assertive
🔮 That shortsightedness may soon cost them: Democrats are on the verge of retaking at least one chamber of Congress, giving them subpoena power and a chance to hold not just Elon Musk but the rest of the corporate quislings accountable. assertive
🔮 Plus Sam Stein and Catherine look ahead to Election Day, Trump's closing economic message, and how rising costs and voters' frustrations over the economy could shape decisions at the polls. assertive
