UPDATE: the Clarity Act has passed out of the Senate Banking Committee. Congrats to Chairman @SenatorTimScott @SenLummis @BernieMoreno and their staffs on a job well done. Thank you also to @SenThomTillis for his efforts to ensure that today’s vote was bipartisan.

Today, Chairman @SenatorTimScott led Banking Committee Republicans and Democrats in a historic bipartisan markup to advance to Clarity Act, legislation that will establish clear rules of the road for digital assets.

Big day for crypto...
Patrick Witt@patrickjwitt

Today, the Senate Banking Committee will vote to advance the CLARITY Act. I am proud of the countless hours that my team, Treasury, SEC, CFTC, and Senate Banking staff and members have put into shaping this product. On every issue, we put forward real solutions to address stakeholder concerns or Democrat demands. It often required us to get creative; sometimes, it required us to get uncomfortable. But we did it in the spirit of bipartisanship. Make no mistake: Whether today’s vote is partisan or bipartisan will depend entirely on politics, not policy. The CLARITY Act is not only good policy, it is necessary policy for the United States to maintain our leadership position in global financial markets. Not to mention the robust consumer protections and anti-illicit finance provisions it contains, without which, there are none. This morning’s vote will reveal whether Democrats have genuinely moved on from their war on crypto, or whether they remain cowed by Elizabeth Warren. The choice is theirs.

Key number in my opinion -- from a monetary policy POV -- is core inflation, which isn't terrible (but not great). This makes it a tad harder for Fed to cut, but doesn't push them to a hike, either.
Heather Long@byHeatherLong

JUST IN: U.S. inflation jumped to 3.8% (y/y) in April--> the highest in three years. This is painful for Americans, especially moderate-income households. Inflation rose 0.6% in the month of April due to soaring gas prices that accounted for over 40% of the increase. Rising shelter and food prices also pushed up inflation. Core inflation (which excludes food and energy came in at 2.8% (y/y) in April

I spent most of my career before becoming a host as a conflict reporter. I’m seeing many of the familiar misunderstandings and confusion emerge that have some unique 2026 qualities. 1. Propaganda is rife. All governments engage in it. That’s why painstaking original reporting is so important. This is now worse with AI and the infotainment industrial complex. 2. Nothing beats having reporters on the ground to witness things first hand. Nothing. 3. Expertise matters. These issues are complicated and a hot take from your armchair pundit is probably useless. There are now more of them than ever. 4. People are being killed. Everyday. War is bloody and brutal. It’s not a video game or a movie. Anyone trying to portray it as such is lying. 5. There are few organizations now that have the resources to do the hard work of comprehensive boots in the region war reporting. Support them. @nytimes @CNN @AP @Reuters @WSJ @NPR @BBCNews @guardian @thetimes and others. 6. Governments see information as part of the battlefield. It’s why they try and control it and shape it.

@AriFleischer Weren’t you part of that administration that got us into two massive wars and presided over the worst economy in generations? So yeah, I’m sure Obama is heartbroken that you don’t think he was a good president.

If you want to know why Donald Trump was elected, watch Barack Obama’s attack speech yesterday at Jesse Jackson’s funeral. As he did throughout his presidency, he created a straw man to describe Republicans as bigots who force the American people to “turn on each other”. He said similar crap when he was President and the GOP was the party of Bush, McCain and Romney. It’s the language of bitterness and resentment that makes good people recoil to be described that way. Obama is one of the most divisive figures in US history, except he is celebrated by the MSM because they are partisans. They take sides and loved and protected Obama. It’s no wonder a tough, no BS, bull in the China shop emerged. That person was a fed up Trump, who broke the MSM by not caring what they thought. He showed Rs they could punch back against the Ds and win. His rise coincided with the welcome birth, at long last, of conservative media which gave voice to the voiceless who had been forced to consume the prejudices of the MSM. I can’t stand Obama. He was weak, patronizing, condescending and he put America last. But having listened to him yesterday, I reminded the only good thing he did was help elect President Trump.

Terrible jobs report. Hopefully it sends a message to Washington to focus on the economy and economic stability.

@M_L_Dad Agree on the corruption argument, probably disagree on who’s the most corrupt party involved…

@randyOwoods What the cartels are doing is not legal in MX either, if it weren't for corruption they wouldn't operate at all or in a much smaller capacity.

Terrible news in Jalisco. We should❓why the US puts the onus on Mexico to stop the flow rather than curtailing demand for drugs at home, as well as the supply of 💵 & 🔫s. If there's demand, supply will follow, no matter how hard you try to stop it, imho. nytimes.com/2026/02/23/wor…

Just In: The US economy grew 2.2% in 2025. That's a slowdown from recent years. Tariffs, the government shutdown and lower immigration did have an impact. 2025 was also a year of "jobless growth" with anemic hiring despite solid consumption and the AI boom. Tariffs and anemic hiring left many Americans frustrated and uneasy about the economy. Bottom line: 2025 was a decent year for GDP and the stock market. But there was a lot of uncertainty on Main Street.

Good news in January, but the downward revisions are huge. More than a million fewer jobs than previously estimated by the end of 2025. And four months last year with outright declines in payrolls. bls.gov/news.release/e…
