Low-income Americans could become even more vulnerable as "big, beautiful bill" safety net cuts kick in.

My first for @axios: Stocks refuse to go down despite tariffs, war risks and high rates. With those risks still here, can investors keep pricing in best case scenarios? More here w/ analysis from Lori Calvasina, @DavidBahnsen and David Kelly. https://t.co/uAly6tSa6P

Did anyone nail the "Biden's age is a problem" pre-debate and "Trump's really gonna do it on tariffs" parlay? That's who to listen to next time.

Our recent story on Gen Z's "need" for a salary of $587,000 a year got a lot of attention from the likes of @ianbremmer, @theallinpod and @waitbutwhy, so ... we dug deeper into the why. (Blame inflation, social media, a lifetime of crisis, etc.) https://t.co/enSwCIR9If
