Larry Smith is a pro’s pro, and he’s showed us why this week. The trade issue kept twisting and turning throughout the week – and Larry kept adjusting and modifying his report. We counted an original report and three updates from Larry before we pushed send. Impressive and appreciated.

Steve Gordon provides insights on the U.S. Senate, its leaders, the August recess and the November elections – and how they all tie together – in “Heard on the Hill.” Jake Ostenso reports on a recent hearing before the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance dealing with how autonomous vehicles will impact on the future of insurance. Dana Marston shares next week’s legislative calendar, as well as a look at rising fuel prices, unemployment, a recent executive order impacting federal employment, and federal grants being awarded to states to battle the opioid crisis.
