I’m reporting live from Italy, and what I’m seeing on the ground tells a very different story than what you’re hearing back home. The Meloni-Trump dust-up is a lesson in how political noise can distract investors from what actually matters.
If you want to understand where the economy is headed, don’t start with the stock market. Start with small businesses. Right now, they’re sending up warning flares. One of the clearest signals is coming from a part of the bankruptcy code most people have never heard of: Subchapter V. This program was created to help […]
The European Commission just fined X roughly €120 million under the EU’s Digital Services Act, targeting Elon Musk personally in the process. On its face, this is being sold as a move to “modernize” Europe and protect democracy. In reality, it looks far more like self-preservation by an unelected bureaucracy that feels its influence slipping. Here’s the part few people understand: the European Commission […]
We’ve arrived at a full-on healthcare embarrassment in this country — an Obamacare embarrassment, yes, but also a Republican embarrassment. Let’s be blunt: the GOP has been incompetent on this issue for more than a decade. Completely, undeniably incompetent.

His argument is that America is in a superpower race with China, and requiring companies to navigate 50 different approval systems would crush innovation before it even gets off the ground. On […]
I hit a breaking point this morning. Driving home from the gym, listening to Republican senators and House members making their rounds on cable news, I realized something with absolute clarity: I am never voting for “less bad” again. I’m done with it. Not wavering, not softening, not “holding my nose” for the sake of the team. Finished. Listening to […]
Every time we hit one of these “must-pass” funding deadlines, I tell you the same thing: watch what they do right before Christmas, when nobody pays attention. And like clockwork, here we are. Right now, Senators Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, and Rick Scott have brought five appropriations bills to a standstill. Why? Because of earmarks—the same pork-barrel garbage Republicans once claimed to oppose. […]
