They're now saying it out loud: The Administration's goal is to undo the political independence that Congress granted the Fed, so that the President can directly set rates.

Vance on undermining the Federal Reserve: "I don't think we allow  bureaucrats to make decisions about monetary policy and interest rates without any input from the people that were elected to serve the American people...POTUS is much better able to make these determinations."

Q: You said you would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. You've now been in office for 5 months. Why have you not been able to end the Ukraine war? TRUMP: Because it's more difficult than people would have any idea.

CLARIFICATION: #Iran’s parliament did not vote on or approve a decision to close the Strait of Hormuz. Rather, lawmakers reached a unanimous consensus in favor of such a move. However, the parliament does not hold the authority to make that decision. The power lies with the…

The Israelis are calling this a "preemptive" strike. Whether you agree or disagree with this attack, these are not - from what we know tonight - "preemptive" strikes. The Israelis are using that word for a reason. Read on. /1

“If you don’t engage in good faith we’ll have to abandon our support for your adversary” is quite a negotiating position.

Loudly making demands a state cannot fulfill while at the same time withdrawing the tools needed to exert leverage over that state is the core dynamic of most Trump administration foreign policy

Trump's victory, I've read, has ushered in a new era where people don't have to be so careful about saying the right words or saying what's on their mind. And yet you wouldn't know it listening to CEOs being asked about the tariffs.

A comment from a friend in Kyiv with government connections: “Zelensky doesn’t need Trump’s help to give Putin four regions, downsize the army, and abandon NATO aspirations. If he wanted to surrender to Putin, he would have gone to Moscow, not Washington.” Well said, btw.

A Heated-Argument in the Oval Office minutes ago between U.S. President Donald J. Trump, Vice-President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, with Trump stating, “You either make a deal or we are out.”

Hi all. Breaking my Twitter silence to make a statement on behalf of myself here. NOAA, the parent agency of the @NWS indiscriminately fired a number of employees yesterday. A thread of comments & advice for those fired. 1/18

Morning all! I've been encouraged by the outpouring of support for all of us in NWS/NOAA. I wanted to specify a detail that I think is relevant from some conversations I've had. Most of us (at least at EMC) who were terminated were officially "probationary" because we are new…

Quite something to see Trump adopt Russia’s positions on Ukraine, one by one, seemingly without extracting any concessions at all from Putin

Trump says Zelensky has 4% approval rating (not true) and there should be elections A: Russia wants to force elections in Ukraine. Do you support? Trump: This is not a Russia thing, it is coming from us

If you're interested in energy/climate you've probably heard the nugget that "kerosene/crude oil helped save the whales", by reducing demand for whale oil in lanterns. I've even trotted it out myself🤦‍♂️ But there's a problem with it. A BIG problem... 🧵

NEW: Two former Trump White House officials told me they had to show voter data to Trump to get him to release disaster funding to CA wildfire victims. He released it after learning that he had as many GOP supporters in Orange Co. as he did in Iowa. eenews.net/articles/helen…
