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.

Since folks have asked: I'll return to anchoring at MSNBC in a couple months (co-hosting The Weekend: Primetime, 6-9pm Sat/Sun). Not ready to announce details for my writing yet. I'll share updates here if you'd like to subscribe:.

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.

I read all 16,100 of Zohran Mamdani’s tweets. First takeaway: yeah, he’s actually a socialist.

Realistically I probably won't be able to cover any fallout from this today (see prior tweet about how I'm about to give birth), but I really, really hope is less fallout than I fear. Protecting Fed independence is critical, especially if you care about inflation.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I have another big deadline coming up tomorrow (I'm giving birth) so apologies if I'm slow to respond to correspondence for a little while. See you on the other side.

Lol I had forgotten about this exchange, but I guess it's good it exists for posterity in case Trump tries to put him on the Fed again.

To be clear Jeffries endorsed Maya Wiley in the 2021 mayoral primary when asked. But when she then lost the primary, and Adams won, Jeffries does not appear to have endorsed Adams in the general (which is what Mamdani supporters/reporters are now asking Jeffries to do). I can.

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?
