Red State: Anti-Israel Members of 'the Squad' Aren't Going to Like Mike Johnson's First Move as House Speaker

The Telegraph: MAGA extremists are holding America to ransom

Meanwhile, the Biden administration is facing domestic problems and international challenges, worsened by the Democrats' policy on Iran and their support for Hamas.

Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: Powell Can Step Up as Deficit Cop if He Wants to
Homes in America are selling in record numbers despite being unaffordable, boosting the housing market and driving economic activity. New home sales hit a 33.9 percent increase from a year ago, benefiting builders and stimulating demand for goods and services. The Federal Reserve's assumption that higher interest rates would dampen sales may be flawed.
America's fiscal policy is derelict as the budget deficit reaches a record 7.5 percent of GDP. The deficit is sustaining inflation, but the Federal Reserve is reluctant to comment on fiscal policy. In the past, Fed officials have spoken about the importance of fiscal policy, but now they avoid making recommendations on the deficit.
National Review: The Corner: What Does It Mean to ‘Regulate’ a Profession?
In his latest post, Bob Graboyes argues that regulation can be achieved through both top-down and bottom-up approaches. Using the medical profession as an example, he explains that centralized entities can enforce formal laws, while decentralized social groupings can enforce norms through voluntary behavior and private sanctions. Graboyes suggests that the decentralized approach may be more effective and highlights the unintended consequences of the top-down approach, such as raised prices and limited access to services for poor individuals. He concludes that finding the appropriate balance between formal and informal regulation is crucial, as governmental regulation often leads to overregulation with hidden costs and unintended consequences.
