Obama is all out of fucks tonight. The fact that he double downed on everything that made MAGA’s head spin and went even further tonight is glorious.

Wait, they’re actually agreeing to follow the law?
JUST IN: DOJ says it won't be embedding FBI/ICE agents as poll monitors or putting anyone in that role to conduct law enforcement. s3.documentcloud.org/documen…

Demand is becoming a bigger driver of US inflation:
Demand-driven components contributed +1.2 percentage points to the +3.4% YoY increase in PCE inflation in August, the largest contribution since September 2023.
At the same time, supply-driven factors added +1.0 percentage point, while ambiguous factors accounted for another +1.2 percentage points.
This contrasts with the post-pandemic inflation surge, when supply disruptions were the main driver.
In 2022, supply-driven components contributed an average of +3.1 percentage points per month to headline PCE inflation, compared with +2.6 percentage points per month from demand-driven factors.
This is a key distinction for Fed policy, as rising interest rates can slow demand, while their impact on supply-side pressures is limited.
The composition of US inflation is shifting.

BREAKING: ServiceNow stock, $NOW, collapses nearly -20% after posting weaker than expected Q3 earnings.
Optimism, or at the very least stability, is lost over time, over the many decisions that people have to make. These stymied small ambitions add up. Americans no longer feel as if the stories of their lives makes sense anymore. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

BREAKING: The Consumer Confidence Index surged +7.5 points in October, to 91.7, its highest since May 2026.
This marks its largest monthly increase since May 2025.
The Present Situation Index jumped +8.6 points, to 120.4, its highest since April.
At the same time, the Expectations Index rose +6.9 points, to 72.6, nearly reversing 3 consecutive monthly declines.
The increase in sentiment was largely driven by the recent decline in retail gasoline prices, which provided some relief to household budgets.
Furthermore, consumers reported improved perceptions of the job market and business conditions.
Consumer confidence remains highly volatile.
