Seems like the context that Powell was appointed by Trump and retained by is probably important here

Alayna Treene:

calls Fed chair Jay Powell “political” on Fox Business & claims he’s considering cutting interest rates to help Democrats

“I think he’s going to do something to probably help the Democrats, I think, if he lowers interest rates,” Trump said

@GottaLaff trump once again accusing a guy he hired of being a Democratic Party stooge.
The prime rate is currently over twice what it was for the 2020 election, but I don’t remember him complaining then.

@gooba42 @jonburr @courtcan @theogrin @SrRochardBunson I implied nothing and only stated a fact. The most recent poll I saw said RFK jr was drawing more votes from trump than Biden. It’s just not true that third parties only pull from Democrats.

@DrLex @RickiTarr “St. John County Sheriff Robert Hardwick held a press conference in which he said that Aguilar Méndez was stopped because he was trespassing and that he had pulled a knife on Kunovich. After the press conference, body camera footage was released showing that a small pocket knife was found in his pants pocket after he was handcuffed was never pulled on Kunovich. Aguilar Méndez said the knife was “para sandía,” or “for watermelon,” alluding to his job.”

    “Let the voters decide,” conservatives are screaming as some states remove Donald Trump from the ballot under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution. Funny thing about that.

    They didn't let voters decide when they went to court in 2000 to stop the recount in Florida, handing the election to Bush.

    They didn't want to let voters decide when they screamed to, “stop the count” in 2020 as election officials worked to tally every mail-in vote cast. (1/4)

    Private Equity may kill you, & that'd be a bonus for the owners & their investors. Most in PE vote for Republicans.

    There’s ample evidence that private equity buyouts in HC drive up costs. A new study shows quality declines, too.

    Hospitals acquired by PE saw a 25% uptick in adverse events compared with controls, acc to a new study released today in the JAMA.

    @ThomHartmann I made it as far as the first paragraph. Giving the Republicans most of what they want on border security didn’t defuse the issue for Obama and it’s foolish to think that making a deal would settle the issue now. Republicans won’t stop calling immigrants “invaders” any more than the NRA will stop calling Democrats “gun grabbers,” facts be damned.

    I've grudgingly come around to the notion that there is only one way out of the ransomware problem: Make paying a ransom illegal. This is not very different from laws that make it illegal for US companies to pay bribes to foreign officials.

    I really don't see any other way out of this mess. Yes, some victims will unfortunately ignore any laws that say they can't pay, but enforcement probably will not be hard.

    What will be difficult are the situations where peoples' lives are at stake in ransomware incidents This sounds callous, but we can't afford to take the short view here anymore, and our other alternatives aren't great either.

    I'm quite certain this is an unpopular view, but we have already seen the cost of doing nothing. At least in the interests of congruity for our financial sanctions vs Russia, we should probably make this change sooner rather than later.

    @fool @briankrebs if shutting down for a week is cheaper than paying a ransom and paying a 3x fine, they won’t pay.
