GOP Senator TURNS ON Trump Over Fed Chair

Trump, who knocked down the East Wing, complains that the Fed destroyed a beautiful building. Says Warsh complained about the HQ project. "I would have fixed that building for $25 mm," Trump says. www.cnbc.com/video/2026/0...
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Trump says he'd be "disappointed" if his Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh doesn't cut rates immediately after taking office.
Trump to CNBC today: ‘I would’ be disappointed if Kevin Warsh doesn’t cut rates right away'
Trump discussed confirmation hearing of Fed chair nominee Kevin Warsh and criminal probe facing Fed chair Jerome Powell.
Nothing like a criminal probe of your predecessor to assure Fed independence. 🙄
Kernen asks Trump if he'd drop the investigation of Powell in order to get Kevin Warsh seated on the Fed. Trump responds by ranting and raving about the Fed building renovation project and suggests Powell is taking a cut of proceeds.
How quickly we forget. The liar boris Johnson was promoted to Foreign Secretary by Theresa May having failed the vetting process.

New Movie Coming In The FALL,
With 2nd Feature Movie,Dumb And

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran says no Iranian delegation arrived in Pakistan for negotiations with US, despite "baseless" media reports.
so here's the thing about robbins' committee appearance. if you understand how this all works and you understand how civil servants speak, he's basically destroyed starmer's reputation and any notion he has sound judgement. the problem is the one group you can guarantee don't understand is the media
I know we are all obsessed with the Robbins stuff, but another important story today via @estwebber.bsky.social
Despite current need for defence investment, we are not sending a minister to this incredibly important meeting.

The more I pay attention to the Government (& on the one hand I don't think I pay *that* much attention, but on the other hand I've just watched over 2 hrs of Olly Robbins giving testimony to a Commons committee) the more I think the big issue is Morgan McSweeney being *hopelessly* out of his depth.
Did Starmer fire Olly Robbins without getting Olly Robbins' side of the story?
Farage backed Mandelson’s appointment, called him a “very intelligent man”,“enormously talented bloke,” and even offered to work with him on a Trump trade deal. The moment it backfired, he changed his tune & said Starmer should resign. He is a charlatan.

The spotlight is now clearly back on Starmer’s original decision to appoint Mandelson
The diversionary tactic of blaming the civil service has not worked
Olly Robbins has definitely come out on top. Robbins 2, Starmer 0 (two own goals). Sacking him has backfired on Starmer. Olly much more convincing. Starmer’s claim that he would have blocked Mandelson appointment if he had known about security vetting doubts is in shreds 1/
Unpicking the disgraceful appointment of Epstein’s pyjama chum Mandelson, with public scrutiny - is incredibly important for the rest of the civilised world.
1/6
Starmer created this crisis by sacking a qualified and competent woman.
And when he sacked career diplomat Karen Pierce to give Mandelson her job, SIX other senior women diplomats left FCDO as their careers were doomed under his government.
He's done far worse, but I'm fine if this does for him.
The Prime Minister knew of Mandelson's friendship with Epstein but chose to appoint him anyway.
As @elliechowns.bsky.social said yesterday: "What is unforgiveable is that he was more concerned with pandering to Donald Trump than with standing with the victims and survivors."
He must resign.
Sending Doyle and Mandelson to the US because of their track record of befriending pedophiles is a bold move. I'd have chosen someone who was into golf, personally.
Having listened to Sir Olly Robbins for most of my morning, I’m not quite sure how he finds himself without a job.
He appears to me the epitome of honesty and integrity.
Funny old world. 🤷♂️
"Olly Robbins is not a shouty man. He did not thump the table, or launch into a tirade against Starmer for how he has been treated. Instead, he quietly and methodically demolished Number 10’s latest convoluted explanation of the indefensible."

Hypocrites.
We need to stop the war in Iran. Lives have been lost needlessly. Our national debt continues to skyrocket. This reckless action could start WW3. Call the GOP.

@raskin.house.gov @warren.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov While the orange Felon is planning on provide relief - to the tune of billions of taxpayer dollars - to the UAE (while they give billions to Kushner) as he is providing billions to farmers due to his tariffs... Hello Congress? Anybody home?
