In one week, the White House has seen members of Congress push back on $2000 checks, had to pull another nomination, watched Sen. Kennedy call Trump a lame duck and had two red states reject redistricting.

The economics of health care -- not to mention the politics, or the human reality -- are important, and complicated. We deserve a more careful and thoughtful policy response than "here's a check," or "we'll have a plan in two weeks."

Today's bonus "One First" tries to read the (many) tea leaves in #SCOTUS's cryptic Tuesday order in the SNAP case; how unusual it is for the full Court to effectively take a case away from a circuit justice; and what that teaches us about the Court's procedures—and, as importantly, Justice Jackson:

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.
“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops
After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.

The Tariff Effect:

“.. consumers could face more price pressures in the coming month ..

“.. businesses still have more costs to pass on to consumers as we estimate consumers are paying most but not all the cost .. Second, tariff rates have likely climbed higher in recent months.”
