Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
NEW: The immigrant Catholic bishop overseeing Mar-a-Lago had a statement read at Masses across the diocese calling Trump's attack on Pope Leo XIV “disrespectful and violent.”
This comes as Bishop Robert Barron once again whitewashes the war, saying it’s not the Church’s place to judge it.
Pope Francis never led from above.
In Buenos Aires, he gave up the chauffeured limousine — and rode public transportation for forty years.
More than anyone I’ve ever known, he reminded me of Jesus.
Jesus called you Peter. We called you our father, brother, and friend.
Requiescat in pace.
To be fair, the stock market isn’t the economy. At best, it’s speculation about future economic growth expectations of various sectors. People are betting that growth continues and that the psychotic freak in the WH throws in the towel on his warmongering
There’s a very good chance that Warsh winds up not serving a full term on the Fed if appointed since he is extremely likely to commit gross offences and crimes in office that actually deem termination for cause justified
Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"
Such a fascinating list. Tech overlords particularly stingy. Really reiterates why federal income taxation needs an overhaul www.forbes.com/sites/forbes...
In his final months, Pope Francis gave his blessing for a Popemobile used for a papal journey to the Middle East to be converted into a mobile health clinic for the children of Gaza.
It lies parked a few miles from Gaza, awaiting permission to enter despite repeated pleas.

Took a night-train from Budapest Keleti to Stuttgart last night. They don’t make railway stations like they used to!
Several executive orders this evening invoking the Defense Production Act so Trump can directly financially support US oil/gas/petroleum/coal production, which is a great signal about how poorly this war is going economically and how little they planned for this

a Trump post that says "has anybody looked at how badly the country of spain is doing. Their financial numbers, despite contributing almost nothing to NATO and their military defense, are absolutely horrendous. Sad to watch!!!"
stupid Trump tweet for many reasons but one of which is that Spain had higher GDP growth than the US over the last year (3% vs 2%)
What we already know about Jared Kushner is infinitely worse, from any possible angle, than anything we ever learned about Hunter Biden. And yet the media is completely ignoring it.
Open corruption is tolerated from one of the two parties. But only one.

America First?
Urban pathways like this through residential neighborhoods shouldn't be a rarity.
Rep. Pat Ryan: "The fact that the president did not understand that closing the strait would be the obvious and immediate leverage point for the Iranians just shows how out of depth they are in initiating this war."
Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.
Surely regulations are in there somewhere…
We went to Kyoto and saw some trains.

NEW: The families of more than 100 school children killed in the U.S. bombing of an Iranian school have written a letter of gratitude to Pope Leo XIV.
In it, they thank him for being a champion of peace and a voice for their deceased children.
The White House has yet to apologize for the incident.
We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it.
He’s just burning your tax money.
Still not as iconic as NYC park signs tho
Much better look for sure
Families of the children from Minab School sent a letter to Pope Leo XIV, thanking him for his peace efforts and urging him to be the voice for their voiceless children. “We ask you to continue to be the voice of children without a voice and to strive to open paths of dialogue"
New Hungarian PM brutally confronts a news channel that banned him for years.
“If the two disciples on the road to Emmaus recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread, this means that we too must recognize him in this way: wherever there is a life that becomes like broken bread, wherever someone offers himself or herself as a gift of compassion like him.“ — Pope Leo XIV
