NYFed: By February 2026, Trump's tariffs had contributed 2.9 percentage points to consumer goods price inflation; without tariffs, goods prices would have fallen slightly. The tariffs raised the cost of imported goods AND their domestically-produced competitors.

The Expanse. Started off conceptually fascinating, politically nuanced, and kind of mind-bending overall, then devolved into melodrama.

You really need to read this whole thing, because there's a *lot* here: unsigned warrants, wrong address, false arrest of the homeowner, creating a fake social media page to harass the woman he arrested, and on and on it goes Cops are great www.wsbtv.com/news/local/d...

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.
Laid Off After 50, and No Health Insurance? Here’s What to Consider. (Gift Article)
At best, older workers will struggle to find health insurance that bridges the years before they qualify for Medicare at age 65.

LOL what massive morons. People on insurance who don't file claims are the backbone of an insurance market.

@thebulwark.com did a supercut of all the prior times Trump said he was going to give Americans a $5000 check or whatever. It is glorious
I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court. I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective. Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court. The lesson: When we fight we win.
Straight into my veins with this glorious cast. CMA is one of my all-time favorite shows.
Dana Stevens@thehighsign.bsky.social · last mo.Call My Agent! The Movie arrives 5 years after the French comedy series came to a confusingly abrupt end. Whether or not you've seen the show (which you should!), there's something irresistible in the movie's mix of tart satire & deep respect for creative work. Streaming on Netflix starting today.
And it would be massively inflationary, no? That was a critique of pandemic disbursements, as I recall...

I like and respect Charlotte, but no way is this worth $60/loaf, no matter how good it is (and I'm positive there are others making whole-ryes just as good as this one in NYC for far less). A 1.5kg loaf contains ~850g rye flour, which is <$5, even using the best rye flour you can buy.
