Trump Administration Runs More Taxpayer-Funded Trump Ads | The Fiscal Times (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Trump administration aired a television ad this past weekend that appears to be identical to a campaign ad made for the 2024 presidential election, with one major difference: It says it has been “Paid for by the U.S. Government.” The ad joins two other campaign-like messages making that claim, including one we told you about last week that states, “America will never be a communist country,” while a chorus of voices sings “love me.” In the ad that aired this weekend, a grim-faced Trump is se

Read excerpt
Citing concerns about persistent inflation, Federal Reserve officials voted unanimously on Wednesday to raise the bank's benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point, to a range between 3.75% and 4.0%.

Investors Brush Off Bessent’s Surge in Buybacks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The U.S. Treasury Department said Wednesday that it plans to buy $6 billion of government debt this week as part of an effort to reduce long-term borrowing costs and maintain liquidity in the bond market. The buyback operation, which triples the normal level of $2 billion per week, will continue at a higher level moving forward, Treasury said, with at least $4 billion in debt purchased each week for the next few months, and perhaps longer. This week's buyback, which is scheduled for Thursday, wi
