LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Kevin Warsh—expected to be Trump's Fed chair pick—is the son-in-law of Trump donor Ronald Lauder (billionaire Estée Lauder heir), who convinced Trump in 2018 of the need to annex Greenland (and then invested heavily there), and who benefits from the Ukraine rare-earth deal?
Trump Administration Prepares for Warsh Fed Chair Nomination
The Trump administration is preparing for the president to nominate Kevin Warsh to be the next Federal Reserve chair, according to people familiar with the matter.

"Warsh was a middling mergers and acquisitions banker at Morgan Stanley before jumping into public policy as an adviser in the George W Bush White House, and owed his initial surprise 2006 nomination for a Fed governorship partly to close Republican party links."

I love that we're told we should be happy with whatever scraps Dems get at the table and Lindsey Graham can hold up everything with a "I should be allowed to cash a multi-million dollar check from the taxpayers for my trouble"
NO SENATE VOTE TONIGHT
Couldn’t get all senators to allow a speedy vote. Schumer tells reporters Lindsey Graham is blocking it. “That’s the holdup,” Schumer tells reporters. Graham wants to keep a provision letting him sue to pocket $500,000 over J6 phone records seized.

What folks on the ground have explicitly said and made very clear in their actions is they are sick of media only covering the pain and chaos, none of the kinship and resilience. They’re asking press to document their humanity. Chasing chaos doesn’t do that.

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.
