Narrator: Trump put him in.

Quite the full political spectrum of economists joining in this amicus brief opposing Trump's use of IEEPA for across the board tariffs. Progressives, conservatives, libertarians, neoliberals, CEA chairs from Bush, Obama .... https://t.co/vYwC79L7hf

We asked @newtgingrich, @LHSummers, @reihan, @jasonfurman, @tylercowen, @kylascan and others what they make of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act?

Their answers range from "amazing achievement" to "I'm ashamed for our nation."

Read 'em here!

"Somebody else can take my place in the company. But at home, who else is gonna be the wife and the mother and the daughter? Nobody else but me."

@Tay_Murph — Agreed, as long as we uphold the rule of law and our inspired US constitution.

Maybe my hottest take is that America is great no matter who the President is

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Reagan promised tax cuts would pay for themselves. Blew out the deficit.
Bush promised tax cuts would pay for themselves. Blew out the deficit.
Trump promised tax cuts would pay for themselves. Blew out the deficit.

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me four times...?

I still don't understand why people would want to own gold or Bitcoin during a financial collapse.

Internet money and a shiny rock only have value in a functioning civilization, not the apocalypse.

No credible estimate showing large dynamic scoring offsets—and many showing the opposite.

Does the President think he's proposing tariffs on American exports?

[Dale G. Renlund @DaleGRenlund]

When we are baptized, we begin the process of taking upon ourselves the name of Jesus Christ, including joining the Savior in His work, which is “to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man” (Moses 1:39).

Joining Jesus Christ in His work is exhilarating because His works, designs, and purposes “cannot be frustrated, neither can they come to naught” (Doctrine and Covenants 3:1).

For those who feel discouraged, the Lord counseled: “Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great” (Doctrine and Covenants 64:33). We let the Lord worry about the harvest, and we simply do our part.

What most retirement advice focuses on:

Safe withdrawal rates
Tax planning
Portfolio allocation

What actually determines happiness in retirement:

Good health
Strong relationships
How you spend your time

Money matters in retirement, but the life you build matters more.

The Republican budget that's currently working its way through the Senate is a big deal.

Let's talk.

@danielfudge I agree with all of this except the red meat part of #6. More importantly, it’s inconsistent with D&C 89 too.

Too many people recognize their opinions as feelings, but mistake their beliefs for facts.

Closed minds hold truths to be self-evident. Open minds are willing to question even strongly held views.

Lifelong learning requires the courage to challenge our own convictions.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

You’ve seen this movie before: Maybe Reagan guessed, Bush hoped, and Trump tried—but tax cuts never paid for themselves. Given the mountain of evidence, claiming once again that "tax cuts will pay for themselves" is no longer ideologically motivated optimism.

It's a lie.
