Young adults aren't confused by the risks they're taking, writes @kylascan. They're just responding to an economy where the usual advice no longer lines up with outcomes. https://t.co/4ENptE1rWB ...

I want to start on how busy 2025 really was looking ahead to 2026. Do you expect the same kind of pace with respect to trade deals, with respect to trade announcements. Well, during 2025, President Trump, the administration has essentially reset the global trading order to move from, you know, total liberal trading to United States without any cost to a new fair and balanced approach.We have we've announced lots of trade deals even now, lots of tariffs. As you know, in the coming year, we expect to finalize ...

This isn't the Japan of 1995, write @Moss_Eco & @GearoidReidy. According to the central bank, it's not even the same as last May (via @opinion) https://t.co/7fYclgMbxJ ...

It seems to me that the American people, they are very tuned in on what their live reality is. And there was like some cognitive dissonance going on with folks last night saying, "Well, what is he talking about?" >> Well, yeah. I mean, I think first of all, I think Democrats should hope that he preempts people's prime time TV shows as often as possible to give speeches that are demonstrabably separated from their experience.And you know it helps also that Donald Trump offers numbers that because sometimes y ...

Driving into Lexington, Nebraska is like entering a scene in a dark tragedy. About a third of the people here are about to lose their jobs when this Tyson facility closes next year. A loss of 3,200 jobs in a town of less than 11,000 people.One worker described it as a bomb going off in this town, sending ripples of fear through the entire community. Even though you see cheerful holiday decorations outside the plant, inside workers tell me that the fear and the anxiety can be seen in people's faces. >> Is th ...

Welcome to Meet the Press. Now, I'm Kristen Welker in Washington where President Trump is doubling down on his economic agenda and facing a rough stretch of souring poll numbers as he urges voters to blame his predecessor. It comes amid a potential bright spot for the administration with the Labor Department reporting today that inflation fell to 2.7% in November.That's lower than expected. The data comes with a few caveats. It was collected later than normal because of the government shutdown and economist ...

It's desperate times, desperate measures for an increasingly desperate president. In a prime time address last night, bearing the tone, tenor, and volume of a person shouting into a bullhorn on a street corner, Donald Trump all but told the American people to pipe down and listen to how good they've got it under Donald Trump.

former Treasury official. Morning Joe economic analyst Steve Ratner. Steve, good morning.We've got your charts in just a moment, but first you were watching the speech last night along with us and you had a couple of more fact checks. Yeah, look, I think you guys did a great job on the factchecking things like his inability to do percentages no matter how many times we point out to him you can't have 500% declines, but whatever. But yeah, a couple other things.First on the deficit, he said that Congress had ...

This is what the Biden administration allowed to happen. Do you remember when Joe Biden under the Biden administration compared to the Biden last year under Biden 30 to 100% under Biden the worst thing that the Biden administration did so the New York Times even before the speech last night uh had written an article about how absolutely obsessed Donald Trump is with Joe Biden and they they wrote that they they actually counted during the first 50 days, Donald Trump said Joe Biden's name an average of 6.32% ...
