Federal Reserve officials say soaring long-term bond yields are a key factor in the economic outlook and their interest-rate decisions. They also say the swelling federal deficit is one reason yields are rising. What they won’t say is that political leaders should therefore do something about the deficit.

Jim Jordan on Friday lost a third vote to become speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, leaving the chamber unable to respond to President Joe Biden's request for aid to Ukraine and Israel. Opposition to his candidacy from within his party grew, with 25 Republican lawmakers voting against him, more than the 22 who had opposed in the second round on Wednesday.

Donald Trump faces the possibility of being held in contempt by Judge Arthur Engoron in his ongoing civil fraud trial. The judge issued a stern warning after a social media post on Trump's campaign website, which had been ordered to be removed, remained visible for weeks. Judge Engoron deemed this prolonged retention of the post as a «blatant violation» of his October 3rd order, which required Trump to promptly delete the offending message.

Donald Trump is settling into a new role: defendant. The front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination spent two days this week in a Manhattan courtroom where a civil fraud trial is unfolding. Trump is accused of grossly inflating his net worth and the value of marquee assets on paperwork used to secure financing and make deals. In the courtroom, Trump is often subdued, sitting between his lawyers and staring straight ahead with a scowl as he studiously ignores his adversary, New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Some Republican contenders for their party's 2024 presidential nomination have turned to a blunt policy proposal to tamp down on crime: killing criminals. The approach is not entirely novel, and it no doubt would face legal challenges. Major Republican presidential candidates have long advocated for an expansion of the death penalty, and former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, said police should rough up criminals during his 2017-2021 term. But Republican strategists involved in previous campaigns and experts in political rhetoric say that calls to shoot, kill or otherwise injure criminals, at least those who commit the most heinous crimes, appear to be more common during this Republican primary race than they have been in other cycles. The reasons are various, those people said. Trump received little political blowback from inside the party for his rhetoric toward crime while in office, when he routinely called criminals «animals» and «thugs,» noted Doug Heye, a long-time Republican strategist. Crime, meanwhile, is a greater concern for voters than it has been in previous elections, even as crime trends are mixed. Violent crimes, including rape and murder, declined in the United States in 2022 from the previous year, according to a report released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation this week.

Jim Jordan failed again Wednesday on a crucial second ballot to become House speaker, the hard-fighting ally of Donald Trump losing even more GOP colleagues who are refusing to give him the gavel. Next steps were highly uncertain as angry, frustrated Republicans looked at other options.

While the term “fake news” has been floating around for a while, the phrase was given new life and popularity when former United States President Donald Trump turned it into a viral campaign slogan. “Fake news” eventually became a generation-defining meme, and this is likely because there is a certain truth to the phrase that resonates with the public to this day.
