“The BLS might have carried forward prices in some categories, effectively assuming 0% inflation… If these technical factors are the main source of weakness, we could see reacceleration in December.”
Trust these numbers? Economists see a lot of flaws in delayed CPI report showing downward inflation
Thursday saw the release of a much lighter-than-expected inflation report for November, and economists are already questioning its significance.

CMS is saying they can do this because this care is not "healthcare" and thus they aren't regulating practice of medicine... seems like a slippery slope? what stops them from next saying abortion isn't healthcare?
Under the proposed rule issued by the Trump Administration today, any Medicare- or Medicaid-participating hospital would be barred from providing gender-affirming care to *any child*, even if the care is not paid for by Medicare or Medicaid.

Every word from Donald Trump is a lie and a con job because that is who he fundamentally is—a liar and a con man.
Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The Fed just made a big move and in so doing gave a clear rebuke of Trump’s economic policy.
GPT CONTEXT: The Fed just Trump-proofed itself. By reappointing every regional Fed president months early, they closed the only window a president has to reshape the system. These leaders now serve through 2031 — locking out political interference in monetary policy. #econsky #federalreserve

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

The new National Security Strategy is a propaganda document, designed to be widely read. It is also a performative suicide. Hard to think of another great power ever abdicating its influence so quickly and so publicly. It will be worth following the reactions around the world, not just in Europe.
Trump's national security strategy is out and some of the Europe sections are shocking. "...the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed
