I'm normally very dovish, but even I admit that the case for a rate cut was pretty evenly balanced given recent data. And projections about future Fed policy are almost pointless: everything depends on whether Trump really does what he's been saying he will, in which case hard to see any cuts

Little bit of news: The activist Sean Feucht announced this week that he would headline a rally at a Catholic parish in Washington on the night before the inauguration. The priest there told me it's not happening. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/12...

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

Last night I had the privilege of attending the unveiling of former Sec. of State John Kerry’s portrait. He hired me to launch the Office of Religion and Global Affairs. As we slide into a new era of authoritarianism it good to remember the US was once a promoter of democracy and not its enemy.

Sometimes the combination of arrogance and ignorance is breathtaking. Yes, US health care has high admin costs; that's because it relies so much on private insurers. Govt-run health insurance has much lower overhead
