Summary

Yesterday, President Joe Biden dove into campaign season by debuting a new slogan: “Bidenomics.” In a speech, Biden explained it’s a counter-catchphrase to the familiar “Reaganomics.” We’ll roll the tape, and the hosts will give us their takes on the branding move. Plus, we’ll hear remarks from the Federal Reserve chair about the future of stablecoin regulation and thoughts from a young plaintiff in a groundbreaking Montana climate lawsuit. Plus, why calls for lower rent by New York City tenants echo through cities across the U.S.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

- ‘”Bidenomics,” explained” from Marketplace

- “Stablecoin bill moves closer to bipartisan agreement in House” from Yahoo Finance

- “US Treasury says stablecoins should be regulated like banks” from The Verge

- “Rents to Rise for 2 Million New Yorkers This Year” from The New York Times

- “Defense arguments are set to open in a landmark climate case brought by Montana youth” from NPR

- “‘It’s my future’: Montana youths undertake one of the world’s highest-profile climate trials” from NBC News
