    The SAVE Act and government funding.

    On Sunday, congressional leaders introduced a bipartisan spending bill to fund federal agencies until December 20, avoiding a government shutdown when the new fiscal year begins on October 1. The agreement, announced by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), will fund federal agencies at their current levels — with a provision for $231 million in additional funding for the U.S. Secret Service — pushing negotiations over the full-year spending bill until after the election.  You can read today's podcast⁠ ⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠, our “Under the Radar” story ⁠here and today’s “Have a nice day” story ⁠here⁠.

    The Federal Reserve’s rate cut

    On Wednesday, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve met in Washington, D.C., and agreed to a 0.5% — or 50 basis point — cut to the federal funds effective rate. The 0.5% cut, which lowered the federal interest rate to between 4.75% and 5.00%, exceeded general economist expectations of a 0.25% cut. It is the first Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate cut since April of 2020.  On November 5, we are going to be hosting a live, in-person election night watch party at Tangle HQ in Philadelphia. But before we start planning, we want to know what the demand would be for an event like this.

    The Potential Sale of U.S. Steel

    On Friday, The Washington Post reported that President Joe Biden is unlikely to make a decision on whether to block Japanese steelmaker Nippon Steel’s bid to acquire U.S. Steel until after the election.
