And he is worried. “We’re in a sugar high” from government stimulation during the coronavirus pandemic and other programs, Dimon told Andrew Ross Sorkin of The New York Times at the DealBook Summit. With the conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine and elsewhere, combined with inflation and rising interest rates in the United States, he sees ominous warning signs.

Kevin McCarthy’s contentious tenure as speaker of the House came to an end earlier this fall, when members of his own caucus led an effort to oust him from the post.

With the 2024 election less than a year away, the Biden-Harris administration must navigate a host of challenges at home and abroad, including inflation and partisan gridlock, and conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. Vice President Kamala Harris defended the administration’s economic record, pointing to record low unemployment and wage growth, and deflected concerns about Biden’s age. In talking about the Israel-Hamas war, which seems to have prompted an upsurge of antisemitism, Harris emphasized that she believed social divisions based on race, religion or otherwise had long existed in the country. It was just a matter of what might trigger a flare-up.

Language has long been considered the exclusive provenance of humans. But in the animal kingdom, birds, not primates, communicate with the level of vocal complexity and variability closest to ours. This summer the New York Times birding project is encouraging readers to try birding by ear. Each bird species has its own distinct set of sounds. Consider the black-capped chickadee, which frequents the northern United States and southern Canada year-round.
