Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

I'm not sure if Bluesky has been forced to label people this way by Trump, but my concern is that it suggests they are bending to his fascism and could label many others this way. It also suggests people who oppose Trump are being put on lists.

There is no attitude for which legacy journalists are more often rewarded by their bosses than "Everybody needs to calm down." It is a preening announcement that you are the adult in the room, immune from emotion or overreaction or "hysteria." And it is the worst imaginable priority for this era. >
