I'd like to see Govts where the average Joe/Jane could join the media scrums & ask legit questions that matter to all the other average Joe's/Jane's. We wouldn't pussy foot around! I know it will never happen cause that would terrify politicians! Questions not vetted? Absolutely not!

If Dementia Don isn’t trending tomorrow with every Dem Congressperson and talking head commenting and replaying this over and over , I don’t know if we Dems will ever do what’s necessary to preserve Democracy

Just wondering what the name of Jake Tapper’s book will be on Trump’s obvious cognitive decline. Perhaps “Anointed by God, But Oops?”

I get that you and others report on Trump’s words live, but it’s disgusting to see these live Oval Office pressers on all cable news, as the man continues to lie about inflation, the economy unemployment, immigration,Ukraine, Biden & Obama, The “let Trump speak” rule of 10 yrs is too much access

Another example of #47 hating everything his predecessors before him did or said, especially that awful #45 since he reveres to hating so much that happened between 2017 -2021 He told private investors last night he would fire Powell. Today he said Powell could go if he has to answer to “fraud”.

Trump doesn’t know he appointed Powell. He doesn’t know that he negotiated and signed the USMCA. If he’s not demented, he’s stupid, both disqualifying for the presidency

More broadly, the GOP is now trying this. 2020 was a bad year. Anything bad can't be Trump's fault. So Biden must have been president in 2020. To wit, bsky.app/profile/atru...

Rep. Mike Collins: "Fast-forward to the Biden administration. They put this on steroids. Example? Summer of love, where rioters were out there burning police stations, assaulting officers." (Donald Trump was in fact the president in 2020.)

What a blessing it is to be old. Life in the United States was awesome before the TACO landed. I have no use for the Dept. of education. Never had kids and got to do so much while I was young. I truly feel bad for those just starting out.

Got DAMN, please tell us SOMEBODY in that room pushed back on this! Right? They had to! This is at least as damning as when he mistook the photo of e Jean Carroll for his wife in deposition!

I would love for someone to ask him is there anyone in the economy who might be hurt by a drop in rates. I would be surprised if his brain even connected a drop in rates to the risk of inflation. Or the risk of inflation to his tariffs. He has a single-focused mind of a debtor.

And all his cavalier blather about tariff "revenue". 😡 Massive regressive tax on consumers, all just to cut services and transfer cash to ultra-wealthy. We pay more, and get less! Brilliant!

Jerome Powell became a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors after being nominated to the post by President Obama in 2012. He was subsequently Elevated to Chairman by President Donald Trump (succeeding Janet Yellen) and renominated to the position by President Biden.
