@rachelsteenblik @articlemodern Potential buyers of @articlemodern, save yourself the trouble. This is how they take care of their customers, so you're better off shopping elsewhere

[Tim Higashi @timhigashi]

@blarneycereal @articlemodern They did the same exact thing to us @articlemodern. It's completely unprofessional, inappropriate, and frankly embarrassing. If they would have owned their mistake and honored the completed purchases, they would have earned customers for life. Steer clear, potential buyers.

CPI is up more than expected, 7.5% in year through Jan.

The details are not encouraging.

*New cars were flat on the month
*Used cars + trucks are still climbing, but more slowly
*Rent, which is stickier, accelerated 0.5%

[Jason Furman @jasonfurman]

The January inflation data shows a continued broadening of inflation. Both overall and core CPI up 0.6%.

New vehicles finally stopped rising but used +1.5%.

If you look at the grey bar excluding them it increased in Oct/Nov/Dec and still more in January.

With legislative negotiations ongoing, here's a very useful read for Hill staff on #SALT deduction from my @BrookingsEcon colleagues.

[Richard V. Reeves @RichardvReeves]

Lots of the old pro-SALT deduction nonsense floating around on here (double taxation, donor states, cost of living etc.), so I am re-upping this from @ChrisLPulliam & I which deals with each of them one by one: https://t.co/HT8T4m7Baf

Despite Friday’s disappointing September jobs report, Federal Reserve officials have signaled in recent weeks the gains are likely to satisfy the thresholds they have laid out to start reducing their bond buying at their policy meeting next month. https://t.co/VXpqtn7e4f

Senate PASSES the CR through Dec. 3, 65-35.

Off to the House, where it’s expected to pass quickly before federal funding runs out at midnight.

Avoiding a shutdown appears to be the *one* bipartisan bright spot in Congress today.

[Tim Higashi @timhigashi]

This will certainly be an eventful few weeks of budgeting and debt limit debate.

[Jennifer Shutt @JenniferShutt]

Pelosi and Schumer announce a debt limit suspension through December 2022 will go on the temporary government funding bill that must clear Congress before Oct. 1 to avoid a government shutdown.

[Tim Higashi @timhigashi]

Tune in tomorrow (10am ET) for a top-notch econ discussion with a focus on practical policy analysis of #inflation, #carbon, #Chinashock, and more.

Big Hill campus news here: For the first time ever, staff can now make more than members of Congress

Leadership hopes decoupling staff and member pay for the first time will help keep senior staff/institutional brain trust for longer (before many depart for downtown)
