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.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

On the phone with them right now.

You can host the armed goons terrorizing our families, or you can host us.
It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:

They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.

The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls.

If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.

Outside the Whipple building in Minneapolis—

Feds just emerged and unleashed pepper spray on demonstrators for approaching the driveway, sprayed one man directly in the face repeatedly. Pepper balls.

Air is toxic, there were children out here in strollers. Reporters caught unprepared.

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood.

They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

“According to estimates by intelligence sources in Israel, the number of deaths in the protests in Iran reaches the thousands and not just a few hundred… But even they do not know where the country is headed - to the overthrow of the regime or to the greatest massacre in its history.”

I know it's hard to shock these days but Elon Musk going full Rhodesia defender and calling for the ethnic cleansing of the US should still shock you.

These are neo nazi views that were only previously shared on explicitly neo nazi sites.

Tapper did a great job here. Combining footage with follow up questions that directly debunk her lies, outright calling her claim not true, and highlighting her hypocrisy is how it’s done.

Noem went propaganda robot mode in her answer, but CNN viewers saw the truth upheld clearly.
Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

Trump and Rubio are doing such a great job running Venezuela that the U.S. is now warning Americans to leave Venezuela to escape armed militias.

And they want companies to go to Venezuela? No way companies will do that.

Trump’s Venezuela operation is a disaster.
