Latest 'hot' US CPI numbers mean July seems to be the only remaining opportunity for the Fed to lower interest rates before the election, and maybe not even then.
Not good for Biden.

Bank of Canada has just announced it is holding rates.

If Russia breaks through, this will be our fault. And then we will understand what we have lost. Everything that Ukraine is doing for us can be reversed. If Ukraine is defeated, we will find ourselves in a far more dangerous world. It will be a world where we can expect war in Europe and war in Asia. A world in which Russia can cut off the food to the Near East and Africa that Ukraine now supplies. A world without rules and a world full of nuclear weapons.
Opinion: Congress must let Ukraine win, say Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn, Imagine Dragons, Timothy Snyder and other luminaries

Could public opinions change something? Anything? Or won't it change the vote count anyway, therefore could be ignored?

The problem is Mike Johnson won't allow a vote, no vote, no aid.

Actually, the 'situation' really is frightening. Would the Conservative hardliners support mil aid to ruz and putin?
One wonders.

The percentage of the US population that "completely or mostly trusts the US Government" has dropped to a new low of 20%

The percentage of the US population that works directly or indirectly for the US Government has risen to a new high of 20%

Donald Trump thinks he’s identified a crucial mistake of his first term: He was too nice.
(Time)

How Far Trump Would Go

Oh God.

FFS! He wants to be an absolute monarch. I don't think I've ever seriously wished someone would drop dead up to now, but...

Of course he was too nice. He should have drained the swamp, like he promised to, right away.
Because they stand on the wall and say "nothing's gonna hurt you tonight, not on my watch".

Let's hope the dumb sceptics don't re-elect a man who cannot keep his word!
