Tonight, Republicans are voting to confirm Trump's chief economic advisor to the Federal Reserve Board, despite his refusal to resign from the White House.
This is an unprecedented and unacceptable conflict of interest—and American families will pay the price with higher costs.

The courts keep rejecting Donald Trump’s illegal attempt to take over the Fed so he can scapegoat away his failure to lower costs for American families.
If the courts – including the Supreme Court – continue to uphold the law, Lisa Cook will keep her seat as a Fed Governor.

The second this Texas A & M story broke I said to a friend “we’re going to quickly learn that this student is the child of some county GOP chair.” I was close. Of course the entire episode was not spontaneous, but was part of a PR stunt that’s now ruined several people’s lives.
Lost in the Texas A&M news is that the entire crusade is the product of a former labradoodle breeder turned State Rep whose stunts and grandstanding are so insufferably transparent that even his Republican colleagues despise him. Meet Brian Harrison, winner of Texas Monthly’s 2025 Cockroach award:
“Studio Makeup and Narcissism”: The Texas’s Lege’s Least Favorite Lawmaker
"Cockroach" is an old Lege term for a figure who mucks up lawmaking. In 2025 the title goes to Brian Harrison.

No. Apparently not. I had a belligerent driver dump two boxes that didn't belong to us yesterday. When I told him so he said he'd dump boxes in the hallway next time. Can't reach customer service...

It's unethical for a therapist to use AI without a client's consent. I find it unethical in other ways even WITH consent.
Aurgh. Clients deserve better.
