        The affordability crisis isn’t about inflation | Allison Schrager

          The big message from the midterms is that Americans are struggling with the cost of living. In case anyone missed it, they need relief now. This will put even more attention on the Federal Reserve: Will Chair Kevin Warsh do all he can to bring down inflation or placate the White House, which…

            When Sen.

              The midterm elections marked a huge win for Texas Democrats, but it wasn’t an ardent endorsement of their policies and candidates. Voters were fed up with a deeply unpopular and antagonistic president, and they took it out on elected leaders who had become his Texas puppets.

                      For some, Veterans Day is a day off from school or work. For military families, it is a time to reflect on sacrifice, comradery and the lasting contributions of those who serve.

                        Last Tuesday's election validates the fact that there are still more of us who are NOT a selfish, vengeful, vulgar, crude, cruel, and bigoted lot, but the antithesis of the vile and anti-American traits witnessed in most Trumpian MAGA cultists.

                          Patriotism takes many forms, from the outwardly mundane to the extraordinary. It’s the simple act of saluting the flag at Veterans Day parades. It’s the determination to wait for hours in long lines to vote. This is what we saw last Tuesday and what can save our democracy from authoritariani…

                            The 1996 video game of that same name wasn't re-released. But its innards are on full display in Iran: the devastating cost of the business of battle. Heavily redacted and sanitized versions of our war are reported nightly on oligarch filtered and controlled media, so here’s a teeny tiny tid…
