Chair Powell has been one of the unsung heroes of the U.S. economy these past few years. He deserves better than this. So does our economy, which Trump is trying to turn into a Venezuela or a Turkey with his efforts to politicize the central bank.
yikes -- Powell shakes his head as Trump rips into him for the cost of Fed building renovations. Powell denies some of the claims Trump is making.

As I've said: Jeffries has one job, which is to retake D control of the House. Independent of Israel comments etc., there are a number of reasons why breaking norms and endorsing Mamdani might not help this goal, particularly in moderate swing districts.

Don't know answer to this exact Q, but worth pointing out that there hasn't really been a norm for D national leadership to endorse in local mayoral races, even in NYC. E.g. I can find no evidence that Jeffries or Pelosi endorsed Adams in 2021. Schumer seems to have done so days.
Do these people think Jeffries' failure to vocally support Mamdani is meaningfully reducing his odds of winning or are they just looking for stuff to get mad about?
