" Stocks Rebound as Consumers Revise Inflation Path ." Equities extended gains as University of Michigan data showed US consumers expect prices to climb at a 3.3% annual rate over the next year, down from the 3.5% that was expected earlier in the month. In April, respondents expected year-...

Edited to add: what the hell? " Brooklyn rappers accused of murder conspiracy join Donald Trump at Bronx rally ." Also, why on earth is Trump campaigning in New York? Why was he campaigning in New Jersey a couple weeks ago? He has no shot at winning either state, and after the defense in ...

As one can see from clicking on the link, Donald Trump's supporters will flood the replies with videos of President Biden's gaffes in response to posts like this one from the Biden-Harris campaign.

"Under a rug in Gazan home, IDF troops found shaft leading to bodies of 4 hostages."

Heather Long yesterday noted that a new Federal Reserve survey (conducted annually) that finds that 72% of Americans say they're doing OK or better -- which is down just three points from where it was for much of Donald Trump's presidencies -- but the number who say the local economy is doing well i...

At this point in Joe Biden's presidency, the average rate of inflation for the previous twelve months is 3.72%. You can do the math yourself using the numbers found here . At this poi...

Some interesting but disheartening details here about Israel-Hamas negotiations being mediated by Qatar.

The South Carolina decision looks pretty bad (that's a link to a quick recap by Mark Joseph Stern). Although apparently not bad enough for Justice Thomas, who would take away courts' ability to block gerrymandering and maybe would overturn Brown v. Board of Education?
