Deficits, debt, and how the news about them is made.
The politics of the downturn: the national debt by presidency, the fortunes made in the pandemic, the wars argued for in leaked memos, and the week the phrase “fake news” changed hands.

Where a claim was later tested by an inquiry or a court, the later note says what it found.
