I was in my mid twenties and I had no idea what Roquefort or any gourmet cheese could be, and here you are eating tripe with a goat beard in it!

That is awesome! It’s important to have a little fun with this when one can, amid all the vituperative theatrics

WARREN: Name one aspect of President Trump's economic agenda with which you disagree

KEVIN WARSH: He said he thought I'm out of central casting. I think I'd look older, grayer, and maybe show up with a cigar

WARREN: Quite adorable

Wash to Sen. Warren: "Well, I do have a disagreement, actually, Senator, with the President. I think even this morning, he said that he thought I was out of central casting. I think, Central Casting, I'd look older grayer, maybe show up here with a cigar, of sorts."

That’s one intense memory! How old were you?

Kevin Warsh Pitched a Case for Fed Rate Cuts. His Future Colleagues Are Skeptical. He has argued an AI boom will ease price pressures, citing Alan Greenspan’s patience in the 1990s. His future colleagues see an economy that looks nothing like it did then.

There’s something deeply wild about how Miran says the neutral rate will fall because of population growth n falls, and Warsh implies … that it won’t rise when productivity growth g rises

Hegseth’s Feud With Army Secretary Spills Into Public View The spat comes as the U.S. military faces unprecedented commitments around the world.

A Bittersweet 20th Birthday for Romneycare Mitt Romney’s legacy is a reminder of how governing used to work.

It was a remarkable achievement. May we someday get back to this kind of thing at the national level too, budget reconciliation or regular, whatever works. The legacy of Romneycare clearly includes Obamacare
