everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

This coming from a guy who received five draft deferments during the Vietnam era, including one medical deferment that was attributed to “bone spurs” in his heels.

Tom Emmer uses his talking time during the House Republican news conference to go on an unhinged rant about Ilhan Omar

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"

Tucker Carlson isn't sorry for the monster he helped create.

Sen. Warren calls out Trump for trying to tear down the Fed's independence — claiming he's doing so because "he wants the Fed to use monetary policies to artificially juice the economy in the short term" before the midterms.

She says Fed pick Kevin Warsh "is uniquely ill-suited for the job."

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.

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Like so much else Trump has done, he’s turned what was once a great department into a fucking mess. And it frankly breaks my heart.

Marge gets it

Sen. Elizabeth Warren asks Trump Fed pick Kevin Warsh if he has investments tied to the Trump family. He won't answer directly.

ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve

WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question

WARSH: I believe this body certified the election

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking

Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."

New IVP poll for California Governor; Becerra jumps ahead. Link to details about this poll ivn.us/posts/breaki...

Cults Gone Wild, Part 17.

How the hell is an R leading in CA?

So disappointingly that Swalwell's name will be on the ballot.
I can't believe that stiff Steve Hilton is doing so well.

California Democrats better get their $hit together or there so be two very dangerous Republicans on the ballot for governor. Some of the many Democrats on the primary ballot need to back off, support a viable Dem, or this state could be in big trouble.

ICYMI- a lot happened with the California governor race today and there has been a major shift.

New polling shows Republicans still leading, with Hilton out front, but on the Democratic side, Becerra is making a real move and now tied with Steyer at 13%, the biggest jump we’ve seen.
1/2

Virginia, don’t forget to vote YES tomorrow(4/21)!

A reminder:

Exactly!! We were in Red State FL & saw NO MASKED ICE AGENTS. We are in our Red home state now & have seen NO ICE agents here at all. Nothing like what we have seen in Minnesota or Chicago or Los Angeles on TV But they are all blue states & blue cities! Trump‘s Revenge & Retribution tour on Dems!!

I got tired of Substack platforming Nazis, white supremacists, and convicted rapists, so I made a browser extension.

I would like to see a list of every journalist, editor and publisher who choses to attend this event. It would help me understand whose judgement to trust.

I can't support or follow any journalist who won't meet the moment and who goes to the WHCD. No excuse to go unless you're going to do something peaceful, but dramatically disruptive to call this regime out. Otherwise, you're complicit, imo.

This Saturday may be the most embarrassing moment in the history of the White House press corps. I’ll be talking about this all week. Here are my thoughts today. Full show: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
