The U.S. owes more than $36 trillion. Washington now spends close to $2 trillion more each year than it collects in revenue, forcing the Treasury Department to borrow to make up the difference. Here are key moments that show how we got here:

Is Senator "We're All Going to Die" Joni Ernst willing to renounce the health insurance she receives as a US Senator? Yes, we're all going to die. Many of us don't think it's a great idea to speed up the process by callously taking health insurance the poor to fund tax breaks for the rich.

NYC’s congestion pricing is a policy miracle: Less traffic, less noise, faster transit, more business sales, more transit revenue. And it hasn’t produced the negative effects outside the cordon zone we were afraid of. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Congestion pricing has improved life in New York City by: reducing cars on the street, speeding traffic (especially at peak hours), speeding buses and making them more reliable, expanding transit ridership, reducing car crashes, reducing noise complaints, and increasing the number of visitors.Fire response times fell in the NYC congestion zone, even as they increased in the rest of the city. Car crashes with injuries fell citywide, but they fell especially dramatically in the congestion pricing zone from 2024 to 2025Local buses have sped up dramatically in the congestion pricing zone.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Trump’s off-again, on-again tariff strategy proves ‘Frat boys’ are running the economy, says @jeffsonnenfeld.bsky.social. If you really want to boost manufacturing, J. Nicole Bivens Collison says, you first start with investing in it, not the White House’s tariff-first strategy. #Velshi

‘Frat boys’ running economy no way to boost American manufacturing
The purported goal of Donald Trump’s broad tariffs is to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States. But the on-again, off-again way in which the White House has approached tariffs could prevent companies from investing in the United States, says Yale School of Management professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld. J. Nicole Bivens Collinson, a former assistant chief negotiator for the U.S. trade representative, says the tariff-first strategy is a mistake: “You examine which manufacturing industries you want to try to establish, then allow the tariff to come in, because if you just tariff on the finished product, you're going to ruin any investment industrial manufacturing.”

I don't think people realize that in important respects tariffs are now higher & more inflationary than what was announced on last Wednesday. Since then we've gone from 54% to 125% on China, our 3rd largest trading partner. That outweighs delaying the increases on 70+ others.
