when he signed the civil rights act, lbj famously told his press secretary bill moyers “we may have lost the south for your lifetime—and mine” and my brother pointed out bill moyers died last year.
ALT wikipedia page reading “Billy Don Moyers (June 5, 1934 – June 26, 2025) was an American journalist and political commentator who served as the eleventh White House Press Secretary from 1965 to 1967 during the Lyndon B. Johnson administration. He also served as the de facto White House Chief of Staff for a brief period from 1964 until 1965.”

City’s earning tax came in $24.5m more than expected at a record $256.8m
Total revenue in FY 2026 (July 1 2025 to June 30th) was $30.8m more than expected.
With that + spending less than anticipated, there was a $46m surplus for the fiscal year

SLU lands a future big man. He’s reportedly near or at 7 feet and could be taller when he arrives.
NEWS: 2027 big man Totu Akuentok has committed to Saint Louis and Josh Schertz, he told @LeagueRDY.
The 7-foot big man ultimately chose Saint Louis over offers from Ball State, San Diego, Buffalo, New Mexico and many others.

I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7 am.
I wish they would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools.
I wish they would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East.

The U.S. House will be in session only 4 full days from July 24th to November 8th.
That’s 100 paid days off versus 4 full workings days plus 4 travel (half) days.
Meanwhile TRUMP says YOU have too many holidays.

I have previously brought this concept up as a true opportunity for STL leadership to pursue. I was told it was a pipe dream and we shouldn't waste our time chasing pipe dreams. Hope that attitude has changed: linkedin.com/feed/update/urn… @GreaterSTLinc @saintlouismayor

Some of the best crowds I witnessed all year were in St. Louis this week. This town has proven it will show up, and show up in a big way. Adding St. Louis to the big board for the Championship Series. 📝 @BMWchamps

The lesson from Japan is that you can't artificially cap long-term yields - which is what Treasury buy-backs are - and simultaneously stop your currency from going into freefall. Does the US really need to walk this path, which got Japan in such trouble?

"Well, we're going to pay down debt. We have a lot of money coming in, much more money than the country has ever seen by hundreds of billions of dollars. And there could be a distribution or dividend to the people of our country. I would say for people that would be middle-income people and lower-income people, we could do a dividend. But one of the things we're going to be doing is reducing debt." - President Trump, August 3, 2025
This was a year ago. What's happened since?
The US National Debt has increased by over $3 trillion, there was no tariff dividend to the people, and inflation has risen.

The White House normally gets $2.5 million a year for maintenance. Trump’s team has allocated $875 million.
That’s 350 years’ worth of the usual budget spent by a single administration.

BREAKING: The US Government officially posts its largest July budget deficit in history, at -$432 billion, due to an acceleration in federal spending.
Interest on US debt rose +$26 billion from last July's levels to an alarming $118 billion for the month.
This puts total interest expense for FY2026 up to $1.17 trillion in FY2026.
As a result, interest expense has officially surpassed both National Defense and Medicare spending.
In other words, the US government now spends more money just on interest than it does to fund the entire US Military or to provide healthcare for seniors.
We cannot afford higher interest rates.
