Good morning, and welcome to this week’s edition of The Brief.

Unlike my deep-dive pieces, this is a high-level survey of everything unfolding—what’s happened (an ICYMI) and what’s coming (the gird-your-loins section).

These will drop every Monday morning and cover:

  • U.S. and global politics

  • Key economic and market trends

  • Legislation and congressional maneuvering

  • Critical reports and data on the horizon

  • And anything else that might rattle the system

Welcome to the land of confusion. Let’s plow through last week.
