The Federal Reserve on Wednesday held its benchmark interest rate steady, in a range of 3.5 percent to 3.75 percent. Nine voting members of the Fed’s monetary policy unit, the Federal Open Market Committee, voted to keep rates unchanged. Three regional presidents dissented, preferring to increase the benchmark rate by one quarter of a percentage point. John Williams, the New York Fed president, and Anna Paulson of the Philadelphia Fed, voted with the majority, as did all seven Fed governors. “Economic activity is expanding at a solid pace despite elevated uncertainty that owes, in part, to the conflict in the…

Keiko Fujimori, the eldest daughter of late conservative President Alberto Fujimori, was inaugurated as president of Peru on Tuesday for a five-year term until 2031. Fujimori, who served as first lady of Peru during her father’s rule, became the tenth president Peru has had over the past decade. Peru has experienced a convoluted period of political instability that has seen no president successfully conclude their full five-year term since 2016. The new conservative president of Peru was elected in June following a slow vote count that marked her fourth and finally successful presidential race. Fujimori narrowly lost Peru’s three previous presidential…

White House officials urged Senate Republicans on Wednesday to quickly adopt a spending blueprint for a narrowly focused party-line spending bill, but they struggled to quash GOP skepticism about the administration’s vision. White House budget director Russ Vought stressed during the private lunch meeting with Senate Republicans that the next package passed under the filibuster-skirting budget reconciliation process should include only President Donald Trump’s most urgent priorities — particularly defense spending and aid for farmers. Vought said Republicans should not seek to cut spending or otherwise offset the deficit impact of the tens of billions of dollars the Trump administration…

A federal judge has dismissed the Department of Justice’s effort to gain access to New Jersey’s unredacted voter rolls, granting the state’s desire to continue withholding voters’ personally identifiable information from the federal government. The decision from District Judge Zahid Quraishi comes amid a broader fight between the Trump administration and Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill over New Jersey’s voter rolls, though the two are not strictly related. The DOJ’s lawsuit was filed months ago, while Sherrill disclosed last week that the state had accidentally added 6,600 noncitizens to its voter rolls in 2023 and 2024. In July 2025, the DOJ…

President Trump on Monday responded to Iran’s targeting of US forces in the Middle East on Tuesday, vowing to respond by beating “the f*cking sh*t out of them.” Fox’s Trey Yingst reported that the President told him earlier, “We’re going to beat the f*cking sh*t out of them.” Trump added, “We’ll be hitting them hard.

Morale in the United States was lower during the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain. Unfortunately, many Americans were not feeling very festive or positive about the US. Two weeks before the US’s anniversary, The Associated Press published a poll that captured the depth of American anxiety about the ruling class and life in general in the country. The numbers were grim. More than two-thirds (70%) of Americans no longer consider their country the greatest nation on Earth, while 64% believe American democracy is in danger. And 38% don’t believe the United States will survive another 250 years as a…

In the wake of the latest jihadi terror attack over the weekend, multiple high-profile personalities in the gay community across Europe have warned that tolerating the intolerant ideology of radical Islam threatens Western liberties and the very existence of gay people. On Saturday, the annual Christopher Street Day Pride Parade in Berlin was targeted in an apparent ISIS-inspired attack by 21-year-old Lebanese-heritage Abdul Ballout, who used a van to ram into attendees, killing a Polish woman and injuring 31 others. While organisers of the parade were quick to express their support for multiculturalism and against the supposed attempts by the…

Narrative Violation: Younger American Adults Are More Confident About the Economy Than Older Americans The misery of America’s young adults has become an ingrained part of our cultural narrative. You are no doubt familiar with the typical factors that are supposedly making things much more bleak for younger Americans: home buying is unaffordable, new entrants have a harder time finding jobs, Social Security is doomed, and politics is irretrievably broken. The trouble with this view is that it just is not true. Younger American adults are actually more positive about the economy and the direction of the country than older…
