Powell Won, but the Fed Might Still Lose Current chair wields deep bipartisan support and personal independence, but Trump has a closer relationship to his successor and three years to tighten his grip.

WSJ's @nicktimiraos.bsky.social call Powell "the last bipartisan figure" in DC - appointed by Obama, promoted by Trump, reappointed by Biden. Quotes Jon Faust: β€œI’m very pessimistic about whether the U.S. can avoid total partisan control of monetary policy"

BREAKING: I just spoke to President Trump he said you’ll find soon what the retaliation will be for the attack on the U.S. embassy in Riyadh and for the U.S. service members killed. 

He also told me he doesn’t think boots on the ground will be necessary.

notable that Trump's media strategy to sell this war is doing bespoke phone conversations with individual reporters instead of answering questions publicly

OTD in 2022 we bombed the Babi Yar holocaust memorial.

We are denazifying Ukraine by bombing holocaust memorials and killing holocaust survivors.

Ukraine ofc deserves this for provoking us by putting their border near our army.

German gov't making a big strategic mistake. Instead of diversifying away from gas and oil, this will keep the country trapped in geopolitical dependencies.

After mentioning four dead US servicemen Trump starts talking about his ballroom.

In a competitive field, this may be one of the most offensive things he has ever done.

EU-bonds are the answer to Russian and US aggression. The stock has risen to €738 bn and performance is excellent. My firm is heavily invested in this AAA-rated paper (commission.europa.eu/strategy-and...). It was great to discuss market trends with

The face when you realize you're going to be campaigning for President on the legacy of tariffs polling 64% at disapprove.

Michael Pahle, Darius Sultani, and I published a new Bruegel Policy Brief on the EU Climate Architecture.

The full paper explores several important aspects in quite some detail, so I thought I’d highlight a few key points here: 1/12
