The economy is now “in the liftoff phase.”<br/><a href="https://bird.makeup/users/acyn/statuses/2096414320414666847">https://bird.makeup/users/acyn/statuses/2096414320414666847</a><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note174gtp05320y0jrvj5232phnn4r2hln3ttjqt838g5382mq43q65q6snl7z" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note174g…nl7z</a></span><br/> </div> Lara Trump asks Bessent what’s his message for the midterms.
