Quick update: my name has changed from Brian Riedl to Jessica Riedl. Fear not, my focus on rapid-response (center-right) economic policy and cool budget charts won’t change. Link below will be my only comment and explanation on this. Back to policy! jessicariedl.blog/p/yes-my-name-…
I'm very hesitant to commit ground troops or nation-build after the quagmires in Vietnam, Iraq, etc. But launching a few rockets or quickly bombing the nuclear sites of a nation that has been terrorizing the Middle East (and often Americans) for 45 years? That's an easy yes. 🇺🇸
Quick reader survey: I'm drafting an article analyzing the House GOP tax bill. If I throw in a couple casual lines from Idiocracy (without naming the movie) will you get them? Or too obscure.

Republican who spent years attacking "Bidenflation" demands a Federal Reserve Chairperson who will unleash more inflation.
Well if the goal is simply to avert a TCJA expiration ... you can do that without adding expensive clutter like SALT expansion, senior subsidies, farm bailouts, no tax on tips & overtime, expanded child credit, expanded 199a business deduction, and on and on. How about that?
If the House version of The One, Big, Beautiful Bill isn’t passed, residents of my home state of Missouri would see a 26% tax hike. The average family would see a tax hike of nearly $1,400. Failure is not an option, this bill MUST get passed.
These stories make my stomach turn. This man helped the U.S. during the war in Afghanistan—at great personal risk. The Trump administration then revoked his parole, and his wife & children learned of his arrest by watching it online. Cruelty for the sake of it.
The video shows an Afghan ally calmly explaining he worked with U.S. forces. ICE arrested him anyway. It seems America no longer honors its promises to our allies. reason.com/2025/06/18/vid…
New from us @BPC_Bipartisan: a full section-by-section for the tax subtitle of the Senate Finance bill. All of your favorite acronyms are in there: QBI, QSBS, FDDEI, NCTI, ERTC, NMTC. Hope it's a helpful resource! bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/what…
With all due respect, these kinds of survey questions are useless. Nearly everyone wants drastic deficit reduction as long as they don't have to contribute a dime in higher taxes or reduced benefits. Most of the actual policies required to stabilize the debt poll below 10%.
First time I've seen a tax cut so poorly designed that the dynamic score RAISES the cost by $356 billion. The infinitesimal growth revenues are dwarfed by the rising inflation and $441 billion in interest costs from higher interest rates.
