As yields on US Treasuries soar past one high after the next, a reality is sinking in deeper across Wall Street and Washington: More than merely a bond-market slump, this might just be a fundamental shift. Myriad forces have combined to push the government's borrowing costs higher from $100-a-barrel oil and the AI spending boom, to yawning US budget deficits adding to a record $40 trillion debt load all against a backdrop of a Federal Reserve bent on cooling inflation that's run well past target for years.

As Donald Trump took an aggressive stance on the global stage at the UN on Tuesday, several Senate Republicans were breaking from the president back in Washington.  The GOP backlash, which has been simmering below the surface throughout Trump's second term as lawmakers privately grumbled he hasn't focused enough on affordability issues, burst into public view as a rapid succession of Republicans challenged Trump on everything from the Iran war to the president's "lavish" summit this week.  Republicans have long been loath to openly criticize the president, who has wielded an uncommonly strong hold over his party and retains long memories about who has crossed him. Back in May, eight Indiana state lawmakers who defied Trump on a redistricting plan faced their primary voters, and only two won.  GOP pollster and strategist Frank Luntz said Republicans should be frightened that their base "is not nearly as engaged as Democrats.
