  • Fed posts record loss of $114.3B in 2023 as aggressive rate hikes upend finances

    The Federal Reserve said Tuesday that it officially saw a net negative income of $114.3 billion in 2023, a record loss tied to expenses related to managing the central bank’s short-term interest rate target. The loss last year follows $58.8 billion in net income in 2022, the Fed said. The numbers released were an audited tally following preliminary numbers reported earlier this year. The Fed has stressed repeatedly that net negative income does not impede its ability to operate or conduct monetary policy. By law, the Fed hands over any profits after covering operational expenses to the Treasury.

    Joe Biden, the first sitting president suggested to be incompetent to stand trial, will give his State of the Union address Thursday night with a near-record high disappoval rating. According to the RealClearPolitics average poll of polls, His Fraudulency Joe Biden’s job disapproval rating sits at a devastating 57.3 percent—a 2.4-point jump since February 20 and a nearly six-point increase from a year ago. Hunter’s Dad’s job approval rating currently sits at an anemic 39.1 percent, so he is 18.2 points underwater.

    Last month was the planet’s warmest February on record and the ninth-straight month of record-breaking temperatures, according to data released Thursday. February was more than 1.7 degrees Celsius warmer than an average February in pre-industrial times, reported Copernicus, the European Union’s climate monitoring service. The average global surface air temperature during the month was 13.54 degrees Celsius — or about 56 degrees Fahrenheit — and beats the previous warmest February, which was recorded in 2016. The month was also part of a record-warm twelve-month period, according to the service, which reported that “the global-average temperature for the past twelve months...

    Federal budget analysts said Wednesday that debt held by the U.S. public is on track to hit a record high in the coming years because the federal budget deficits are projected to climb over the next decade. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projected the debt held by the public will rise significantly over the next decade, climbing from 99 percent of GDP in 2024 to 116 percent in 2034. The jump would mark a high-water mark, the CBO said, while noting that, absent policy changes, the debt is likely to continue the upward trajectory after 2034. Federal outlays are also...

    Widespread areas of Los Angeles experienced flooding and heavy rainfall on Sunday as a winter storm moved through the area, breaking a 97-year-old record for rainfall in one day.

    The pace of job cuts by U.S. employers accelerated at the start of 2024, a sign the labor market is starting to deteriorate in the face of ongoing inflation and high interest rates. That is according to a new report published by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, which found that companies planned 82,307 job cuts in January, a substantial 136% increase from the previous month. However, that is down about 20% from the same time one year ago. It marked the second-highest layoff total for the month of January in data going back to 2009.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — First lady Jill Biden says her husband’s age is an “asset,” as President Joe Biden — at 81 already the oldest American leader in history — faces persistent questions from voters about his decision to seek another term. In an interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” released Thursday, Jill Biden responded to those concerned the Democratic president is too old, saying, “I say his age is an asset.” “He has wisdom. He has experience,” she continued. “He knows every leader on the world stage. He’s lived history. He knows history. He’s thoughtful in his decisions. He is the...

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California is facing a record $68 billion budget deficit, state officials announced Thursday, forcing hard choices for Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in his final term as he works to build his national profile. The nation's most populous state — with an economy that is the fifth largest in the world — has been struggling since last year because of the rising prices of most goods and services and how the U.S. government has been trying to control it. It is now much more expensive for people and businesses to borrow money, meaning fewer people are buying...

    President Joe Biden championed his economic agenda on Thursday, vowing to “double down” on “progress.” Biden’s promise to “double down” on his economic agenda appears indifferent to the economic challenges Americans face, such as inflation and soaring housing costs. Recent polling shows Americans are unpleased with Joe Biden’s economy: Only 14 percent of voters believe they are better off with Biden as commander-in-chief. Seventy percent of voters say Biden’s economic policies have either hurt the economy or have had no impact. Among the 70 percent, 33 percent say the president’s policies have hurt the economy a lot.

    San Francisco hit another record high when it comes to drug overdoses in the Democratic city, with almost 85 deaths last month — and residents say the alarming numbers are just more proof that the city has turned into a “zombie apocalypse.” The City by the Bay saw 84 deaths in August, with 66 of them involving the deadly drug fentanyl. It tied January for the deadliest month since the city began tracking overdose deaths in the beginning of 2020. This year is on pace to exceed 2020’s deaths, which hit a record high of 725, according to reports by...

    President Biden on Monday bashed former President Trump to mark Labor Day, criticizing jobs and benefits under the previous administration. “The guy who held this job before me was just one of two presidents in history … left office with fewer jobs in America than when he got elected office,” Biden said at the annual Tri-State Labor Day Parade in Philadelphia. “When the last guy was here, you were shipping jobs to China. Now we’re bringing jobs home from China,” Biden said. “When the last guy was here, your pensions were at risk; we helped save millions of pensions with...

    Earth’s average temperature on Wednesday remained at an unofficial record high set the day before, the latest grim milestone in a week that has seen series of climate-change-driven extremes. The average global temperature was 17.18 Celsius (62.9 degrees Fahrenheit), according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, a tool that uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the world’s condition. That matched a record set Tuesday and came after a previous record of 17.01 Celsius (62.6 degrees Fahrenheit) was set Monday. While the figures are not an official government record, “this is showing us an indication of where we...
