The SAVE America Act should be the wager of the Congressional baseball game.
If @Eric_Schmitt and the GOP beat the spread, SAVE America Act instantly goes to @realDonaldTrump’s desk.
FAILED: The motion to attach the SAVE America Act to the budget reconciliation bill fails.

every DC-based political operative bio is like: “Strategist. Storyteller. Girldad. Fighter of good fights. Lives on a diet of coffee and red wine, but usually not in the same cup 🤫. Always down to yap about redistricting. Hook ‘em 🤘”
אדוני ראש הממשלה,
אמרת שראש ממשלה חזק אומר לנשיא ארה״ב- ׳כן׳ כשאפשר, ו׳לא׳- כשצריך.
זה הזמן לומר לידידנו, הנשיא טראמפ-׳לא׳.
כעת הזמן לעשות מה שמתחייב ונדרש כדי להכות בחיזבאללה, להתיר את ידי לוחמינו ולהחזיר את הביטחון לצפון.
THE LEAK IN AXIOS WAS A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW AND PROVIDED SUPPORT TO THE IRANIAN REGIME AND ITS HEZBOLLAH PROXY
Whomever leaked that story to Barack Ravid at Axios did a grave disservice to our country, to our president, to Israel, and to Israel's prime minister. The Iranian regime will benefit from that leak, viewing us as weak and desperate for a deal -- even coming to Hezbollah's defense. The Israeli people will also be furious. The missiles are aimed at them, not Washington. And for 100 other reasons, what was thought to be a devasting political hit on Netanyahu by the leakers about a private call between heads of state has done much damage to us and our military and our diplomatic strategy. And if the leakers or others believe Israel should abandon its survival for some deal, they will have a very hard lesson to learn. If the substance of the call is accurate, it is bad enough in my view.
Will there be an FBI investigation to determine who leaked? If not, why not?
Pretty much all of the prominent voices who supported the Iran War assured us it would be over by now. None of them will admit they were wrong. Even less will they admit that their initial assurances were based on nothing but their own wishcasting. This whole shitshow has been an enormous waste of time and resources and our country has not benefited from it at all. Its advocates have moved the goal posts repeatedly and have even to this day refused to clearly articulate what constitutes a victory and how we’ll know that it’s been achieved.
State of the political parties: Minnesota Republicans held a moment of silence for Derek Chauvin at their endorsement convention while Democrats confiscated glow sticks because of the potential risk to a small subset of epileptics
She says from a literal red carpet, surrounded by armed security, completely insulated from the horrors on our streets that Angelenos and their kids have to suffer through every day. I’m glad she doesn’t have to suffer the consequences of Karen and Nithya’s failures, but she’s in an elite minority and the rest of us want change.
Food for thought.
Warsh’s Hamiltonian Fed.
Kevin Warsh is not seeking to reform the Federal Reserve. He is aiming to redefine it.
His project is clear: scale back the Fed’s autonomy and subordinate it to the Treasury, effectively restoring a Hamiltonian model in which the central bank operates as an instrument of national policy.
Monetary policy, in this view, is not a technocratic exercise. It is statecraft.
This is a direct challenge to the post-Volcker consensus of central bank “independence.” That model, insulated, academic, and narrowly focused on inflation, was built for a disinflationary, stable world. It is poorly suited to one defined by supply shocks, industrial competition, and geopolitical rivalry.
Warsh’s implicit argument is that the Fed, as currently constructed, is not just ineffective, it is misaligned. It reacts rather than leads, tightens into fragility, and operates at cross purposes with fiscal and industrial policy.
Hamilton would find this arrangement baffling. In his Report on a National Bank, he argued that such an institution would be “an engine of national prosperity,” designed to support public credit and direct capital toward productive ends. It was never meant to stand apart from government. It was meant to extend its reach.
That is the model Warsh is reviving.
Critics warn of politicization. But the Fed is already political, just without accountability or strategic clarity. The real question is whether monetary power is coordinated with national objectives or exercised in isolation.
In an era defined by reindustrialization, energy competition, and technological rivalry, capital formation is strategy. A central bank that ignores that reality is not preserving independence. It is abdicating relevance.
Warsh’s bet is simple: the Fed must be folded back into the machinery of national purpose.
Hamilton would recognize the logic immediately.
The more money that LA and the state of California gives to "non-profits" to aid the homeless, the more incentive those "non-profits" have to create more homeless people.
Most of the executives at those "non-profits" are paying themselves $250,000 to $500,000 salaries.
🚨 SKID ROW RESIDENTS are on camera saying Karen Bass lost control of LA YEARS ago.
Billions gone, drugs handed out on the street and the crisis spreading citywide.
@spencerpratt has ALWAYS kept it real something Karen has never done. Watch.
We figured there’s already been plenty of LA officials touting how “successful” they’ve been on homelessness. So instead, we went straight to the people actually living through it.
When we reached out for comment, Councilmember Nithya Raman’s team pointed us to her homelessness initiatives, while Mayor Karen Bass’ office never responded.

SKID ROW REACTS: LA Keeps Throwing Money At The Crisis—And Nothing Changes
People on Skid Row describe a city overwhelmed by addiction, crime, needles and pipes being handed out on the streets, and homelessness spreading far beyond downtown LA.
Residents say billions of dollars have been spent on homelessness programs, yet conditions continue getting worse as tents, drug use, and mental health crises spread across Los Angeles. Many question where the money has gone and why the city continues funding programs they believe are failing the people living on the streets.
Billions are being spent, the system is broken, and many residents say city leaders lost control of the crisis years ago.
