As Bessent Muscles Bank of Japan, the Fed and European Central Bank Set Their Own Courses (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Inflation concerns and central bank responses have prompted evasive action from the Treasury secretary. Last Wednesday, in the first rate hike in over three years, the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate—the Federal Funds Rate—by a quarter of a percentage point, to 4 percent. “Inflation is too high and has been for too long,” Chairman Warsh said in a press conference announcing the hike, adding that inflation had remained above the Fed’s target for more than five years.This goes against th
All the Vice President’s Critics (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The latest attacks on Vance are clearly and irreducibly about foreign policy. J.D. Vance has been taking fire of late.

He has resigned as the member of Parliament for Clacton and will face a by-election in August to try to win his job back. The big gamble here is not really whether Farage will be
Why Does Trump Hate the State Department? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When an entire cabinet department opposes the president, it may find itself irrelevant. Has the State Department gotten the message yet? Let’s consider a hypothetical. You meet a woman at a party. Even while you’ve telling her about your accomplishments she’s looking around the room. She reluctantly gives you her number before disappearing into the crowd. You text her 25 times telling her what a good romantic partner you are and after the first polite non-answers she stops responding. Is your ne
