And referring to him as merely a "top official" in the headline is, at best, hiding the ball and, at worst, actively misleading readers about who this person is and why they are issuing such a dire warning.

Just incredibly irresponsible economic coverage.

Fed Risks a Recession if It Doesn’t Cut Rates Rapidly, a Top Official Warns

This 1,600-word story about the extremely non-mainstream views of Trump's handpicked Fed board member (who is still employed at the White House!!) features literally zero experts pushing back on him.

He is the only person quoted in the entire 1,600 words!! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/b...

β€œThe Republicans…they’re not even pretending to solve the problem. They have not even been showing up to work.”

β€œAs for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the Rose Garden…”

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

It's been 39 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Contingency money for SNAP exists, but Trump chose not to use itβ€”at least, not until the courts made him.

STOP THE TRUMP SHUTDOWN

If you agree that no one should have to go hungry in America, hold your Republican elected officials accountable and otherwise help end this shutdown. indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

No one should have to go hungry in America.

The unthinkable has happened. Through generations of service under administrations from both parties, America's food assistance program has never been allowed to fail U.S. familiesβ€”until today, and this Trump shutdown.

After whatever happened in Butler, PA, when Trump got to the hospital, the first thing he said to aides was, "How is it playing? How does it look on TV?"

Are those the words of a man who had just survived a real assassination attempt?

The fact of the matter is that helping people costs money and that is just not popular with corporations that, for all practical purposes, own a vast number of congresspersons.

Jesus H Roosevelt Christ someone needs to step up and do the right thing and stop this. Average people didn't ask this of our government, the circumventing of Congress or their abdication of power in this version of drug war means it is happening without the people's representative consent. 1/2

Also bad: Alvin Holsey, head of SouthCom, recently resigned with no explanation, amid reports that he questioned Trump's illegal boat bombings.

Now Republicans are declining to press for his testimony even in a classified setting, Rep Adam Smith tells me:

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely β€œaffiliated” with β€œnarco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what β€œaffiliated” even means!

It really is amazing that when a popular young Democratic politician who wants to solve real problems for people beats an old-guard institutionalist Democrat in a primary, the institutionalist Democrat just stays in the race and basically runs as a Republican.

Please donate to your local food pantry as able.

Note - donate items you have on hand but will not use, then cash. Do not donate groceries you will use and do not buy groceries for the pantry. Donate cash instead. They know what they need, get better prices, and it saves effort for them and you.
