There are no words to describe Lindsey Graham, my friend of more than three decades. There are no words to describe his impact on the foreign and domestic policy of the United States. Lindsey served his beloved country in uniform and in the House and Senate. He stood solidly for freedom and strength and he fought for liberty across the globe. Lindsey Graham can be succeeded in office but he cannot be replaced.

Big news: New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh just announced the members of his 5 tasks forces.

It's a mix of academics, central bankers, and biz/tech leaders. Also a mix of left and right leaning

The George W. Bush Presidential Center would like to wish President Bush a happy 80th birthday. His leadership has made a lasting impact on our country and the world through his commitment to freedom and opportunity, and his continuous efforts to inspire Americans. Cheers to many more years!

When our Founders affixed their signatures to the Declaration of Independence in 1776, it was far from certain that the fledging country would endure. They would be amazed to see us now. For 250 years, Americans have set aside July 4th to celebrate the freedoms for which those men pledged their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. As we mark this year’s historic anniversary, we have so much to appreciate. We all bear a solemn responsibility to follow in our Founder’s footsteps, extending this legacy of freedom to the coming generations. Happy Independence Day!

Powerful and extraordinary to recall that Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died 200 years ago today—July 4, 2026–on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

Both payroll employment (+57,000) and unemployment rate (4.2%) change little in June https://t.co/ZwrVfLviqL #JobsReport #BLSdata

[Heather Long @byHeatherLong]

JUST IN: A disappointing jobs report. The US economy added 57,000 jobs in June (below expectations of 115k). Hospitality jobs decline by -61k. Plus, April and May were revised lower by -74,000.

The unemployment rate fell to 4.2% --> the lowest in a year, but mainly due to a big drop in people job hunting.

The bad news = Wages aren���t keeping up with inflation. Wage gains were 3.5% in the past year, which is below ~4% inflation.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: The US economy adds 57,000 jobs in June, well below expectations of 114,000.

The unemployment rate fell to 4.2%, below expectations of 4.3%.

May's jobs number was also revised down by -43,000 jobs.

The labor market remains in a volatile situation.
