If you're in these states, *TODAY* is deadline to register to vote. Arizona, Arkansas Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. Even if you think you've registered: doesn't hurt to check! And there's a lot happening across them. A thread with stakes on each. ⬇️

The inflation we are enduring represents one long collision of demand and supply shocks, which includes the service sector. The rise in healthcare costs is better captured by the PCE index of inflation than the CPI. It also better captures tradeoffs consumers make in their spending decisions.

Here's why this is so grim. Folks expected jobs growth to slow to +80k, but we got -23k. Also downward revisions to the last two months subtracted a total of -103k. So over the past three months, the US economy created about -200k fewer jobs than we had thought.

From @ewburak.bsky.social how pregnant & postpartum #Medicaid enrollees could lose their coverage due to work reporting requirements. While they are supposed to be exempt, they could fall through the cracks and get disenrolled due to the complex/onerous process: ccf.georgetown.edu/2026/07/22/n...

NYers who buy their health insurance on the state exchange: you have probably recently received a letter from your insurer informing you of the premium hike they are proposing for next year. My own insurer, Fidelis, wants to increase my premiums by over $225/month — an hike of 26% for a Silver plan.
