John Fetterman’s Staffers No Longer Recognize Him
A year after Sen. John Fetterman’s (D-PA) release from the hospital for clinical depression, the senator’s behavior had so alarmed then chief of staff Adam Jentleson that he resigned his position and wrote to Fetterman’s doctor, New York Magazine reports.
His 1,600-word email came with the subject line “concerns,” and it contained a list of them, from the seemingly mundane (“He eats fast food multiple times a day”) to the scary (“We do not know if he is taking his meds and his behavior frequently suggests he is not”).
Wrote Jentleson: “We often see the kind of warning signs we discussed. Conspiratorial thinking; megalomania (for example, he claims to be the most knowledgeable source on Israel and Gaza around but his sources are just what he reads in the news — he declines most briefings and never reads memos); high highs and low lows; long, rambling, repetitive and self centered monologues; lying in ways that are painfully, awkwardly obvious to everyone in the room.”

Companies Say They’re Raising Prices Because of Tariffs
New York Times: “More companies are starting to warn that they will have to pass on higher costs to American consumers, raising prices for products like strollers, mattresses, power tools and cast-iron cookware as President Trump’s tariffs take hold.”
“Some company officials said they had been left with no choice but to raise prices as they pay more to import goods and materials into the United States. Other firms have said they will soon run out of inventory for certain products because they have paused orders from China.”
