American consumers are increasingly concerned about AI.
It’s even showing up in the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey
10% of respondents spontaneously mentioned AI.
"On balance, negative comments on AI outweigh positive comments," Hsu said.
"Still, at this time, AI is far less important for consumer views of the economy than gasoline prices, mentioned by nearly one-third of consumers.”

In a Linkedin post on Friday, Beth Hammack of @ClevelandFed says she is hearing from her business contacts in the region that inflation "isn’t coming from only one source—it’s broad based."
"For the first time in my tenure, I’m hearing from businesses who say they think we need to take action to curb inflation, and from consumers who can’t make ends meet about a growing sense of despair."

Bart De Wever, the Belgian prime minister, has a cat with a very active Instagram account. On Tuesday, it posted: “I slept so well! You too?”
The cat was hugging a Trump plushie.
Taylor Swift’s “Karma” played in the background of the post.

it's hard to know what to make of this, but... Trump just hinted he plans to go to Congress and ask for something for adults on retirement/savings, citing Australia, which has a compulsory retirement system. but he did not say more than that, beyond a promise to "try very hard"

Tillis doesn’t think Republicans would override Trump if he vetoes the housing bill.
“That assumes that the same people who voted for it out of the House would vote to override a veto of their president, which I think is unlikely. So, why waste our time?“

NEW: Trump canceled the signing. He is holding it up until Congress acts on the Save America Act, he says. More to come.
NEW: Trump will sign a major housing bill today. It is a major feat for the Hill, decades after the last housing package. But to work, it requires time and a cooperative economy, and with housing costs already high, the Q is: can people afford patience? nytimes.com/2026/06/24/busin…

Vice President Vance tells me that some of the "gentleman's agreements" described by US officials “are written down" but not in the official MOU— indicating there are side deals between the US and Iran that haven’t been made public.

NEW: Tariff refunds are kinda a mess. TLDR: The Trump admin wants some importers to file individual lawsuits to get back money (totaling billions). And the feds are trying to shield the top customs official from having to testify. More to come today. nytimes.com/2026/06/03/busin…

New: The Trump admin said it intends to appeal an April court order that requires it to refund all of the tariffs collected under the slate of duties declared illegal by the Supreme Court. In short, the gov has said it can't/won't do this for all of the tariffs automatically.

NEW: The White House seeks to subject billions in govt grants to a new political test. In newly proposed rules, it would restrict federal money -- beyond research -- to causes that advance Trump's agenda and to programs/groups/etc that share his values nytimes.com/2026/06/02/us/po…
