One thing to be grateful for this US Thanksgiving is that a turkey dinner for 10 people has gotten cheaper for the third year in a row. That’s in line with a broader trend in which US inflation has cooled since hitting a 40 year peak back in 2022.

Americans have just been through the most inflationary five-year period since Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” topped the charts. That’s what shapes people’s perceptions, more than year-to-year data. And remember, even if inflation is only around 3%, that still means prices are only going in one direction: up. Here’s a look at the data – discuss it at the table!

The US president used a primetime address last night to argue America’s election system is broken and vulnerable to “rigging.” He pointed to documents he says show Chinese interference in the 2020 vote. But the evidence Trump offered, along with past assessments from the intelligence community, doesn’t support his broadest claims.
