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."

And .. here come the Freedom of Information Act requests for Kash Patel records

VAN HOLLEN: If the central bank were to cut rates, that would typically push prices up, right?

WARSH: Unlike many of my colleagues, I don't believe I should be previewing what a future decision might be

VAN HOLLEN: I'm not asking you that. Most economists would agree that would dive up prices

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

No coincidence that Kash goes on Fox to claim he’s about to make arrests of people who supposedly rigged the 2020 election right after a story breaks that he has a serious drinking problem. A pattern of things like this every time Kash gets in trouble for his audience of one.

Alligator Alcatraz phones were cut off. Then the beatings began, court docs say One attorney wrote in a sworn declaration that officers broke a detainee’s wrist and “pepper sprayed everyone.”

Drunk snowflake Kash is still crying.

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.

Sorry I’m late on this. A few people flagged this QT, and I ignored it at first because the claim was random, with no receipts, I figured nobody would buy it. Apparently I was wrong. The Scientology rumor is spreading, so let’s address.

@yasharali.bsky.social , with zero evidence…

The concerns I expressed about unanswered questions proved to be unfortunately prophetic.

This week gave us yet another example of the pattern of good news while markets are open, followed by the real news coming as soon as they're closed.

Here’s an audio recording of the Indian oil tanker Sanmar Herald pleading with Iranian military forces to stop shooting at it in the Strait of Hormuz this morning.

The Woman Who Knows Too Much: An Interview with Amanda Ungaro Last week, Melania Trump issued a mysterious six-minute statement from the White House podium in language couched in legalese, denying that she was friends with Jeffrey Epstein and threatening “those ...

Good. I'm glad Amanda Ungaro is exposing what she knows.

It's time to bring this all down.

Rep. Ansari just filed articles of impeachment against Hegseth, accusing him of violating his oath and putting U.S. troops at grave risk.

Remember this fuck when his name comes on the ballot.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.

Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.

Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.

But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

California is the nation's LARGEST donor state — sending $275 BILLION more in taxes to Washington than we get back.

Donald Trump can lie all he wants about the Golden State, but we're the ones paying his bills and keeping the U.S. economy afloat.

You know why Trump says “the U.S. government must put military protection over funding for Medicaid, Medicare and daycare”? Because those programs don’t help him personally, while exploiting the military allows this man facing accelerating physical & mental decline to feel powerful.

Trump believes diet soda kills cancer cells, Dr Oz reveals Physicians issue reminder to public after TV doctor and CMS chief relays president’s claim on Don Jr podcast

I keep saying, as a Trump biographer, that this man holds deeply deranged beliefs—on almost every subject—he cannot be talked out of by experts, to the point that it can accurately be said that he lives in his own warped reality.

25th this man immediately.
