In a speech outlining her economic vision this week, Vice President Kamala Harris said she’d boost manufacturing in the United States by supporting trade school programs and getting rid of unnecessary college-degree requirements for federal jobs. We’ll get into it. And, we’ll explain why the DOJ is suing Visa. Plus, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde’s wild search for butter prices.


Here’s everything we talked about today:



  • “Harris pledges ‘pragmatic’ approach to the economy in Pittsburgh speech” from Politico


  • “Kamala Harris says she will cut degree requirements for certain federal jobs” from Reuters


  • “Justice Department Sues Visa for Monopolizing Debit Markets” from the Department of Justice


  • “Justice Department accuses Visa of stifling competition in the debit card business” from NPR


  • “Cruz gets heated after Booker blocks deepfake revenge porn bill” from The Hill
