x/federal-reserve-system
— 7h
The Federal Reserve’s Beige Book found rising energy, tariff, commodity and insurance costs intensifying price pressures across many districts, while employment was mostly unchanged and economic activity showed modest growth, with expectations leaning toward slight growth.

Politics
— 1d
Minnesota congressional candidates offered sharply different approaches to federal deficits: Republican Brad Finstad and Tyler Bass emphasized cutting waste and fraud, while Democrats Matt Little and Erik Osberg called for higher taxes on wealthy households or corporations and stronger oversight and fraud prevention. Their health care proposals also diverge, with Bass advocating a return to individually underwritten insurance and Little emphasizing protection of coverage and affordability.
