Treasury's upsized buybacks may complicate Fed's monetary policy work

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh has promised that the U.S. central bank will deliver price stability, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's decision on Wednesday to double buybacks of longer-dated U.S. debt may complicate any effort to do so.

The government announced this as long-dated Treasury borrowing costs have been moving up sharply, negatively impacting credit affordability in the global e

Why is one corner of China’s internet insisting a golden era never existed?

Something weird has been happening on China’s internet. One small and vocal corner has been claiming the country’s most famous historical dynasty never existed.That’s the Tang, which ruled China from 618 AD to 907 AD, a period that saw huge territorial expansion, booming international trade and the flourishing of a high culture envied far beyond its borders. Every child learns about the Tang at school; historical dramas inspired by its palace intrigues are a staple of state TV.Claiming that the 300-year dynasty was actually a myth is akin to saying the American Civil War never happened,

President Donald Trump played White House tour guide on Wednesday, showing off the helipad he is building on the lawn before leaning over to autograph a piece of it and bragging about the ballroom he's rushing to complete despite legal challenges.

From LA to Scottsdale: The Founder Behind AdDynamix Is Building the Bridge Between AI and Business Tools

An LA digital advertising veteran of 28 years has moved to Scottsdale and is building what he calls the missing piece between business software and the AI assistants people now use every day.

Because their tools don’t talk to ChatGPT or Claude. Their accountant still pulls
