The US can borrow money at the lowest rate globally, maybe the exception of Japan and Germany. People believe they're going to get their money back if interest rates go up. And any interruption in that is this insidious, somewhat imperceptible, but real impact on everyone's lives. If it did the same thing around what's happened with the debt ceiling fights, it's usually that as we get closer and closer and the markets become more jittery, Republicans realize this is a losing issue for them.
Kara and Scott talk about the coronation, CNN's Trump town hall, and Elizabeth Holmes. Also, Twitter is bleeding blue checks, and Tucker Carlson reportedly spoke to Elon Musk about his next moves. Then, which party will come out ahead in the debt ceiling negotiations? And, Friend of Pivot Claire Hughes Johnson to talk about what managers get wrong.
You can find Claire on Twitter at @chughesjohnson, and can buy “Scaling People: Tactics for Management and Company Building” here.
