Kevin Warsh promised a quieter Fed. Last week, he delivered: a 130-word statement, no dot from the Chair, and a press conference where he wouldn't explain the decision.
So who—or what—fills the silence? A thread on the "shadow Fed Chair." 🧵
Iran's Ghalibaf:
In the middle of the discussions, I learned that Trump had made threatening remarks regarding our president, the negotiating team, and possible attacks on our territory.
I told Vance: “We are here engaged in talks, and according to the signed understanding, the first clause states that there should be no threats or coercion. Yet today your president has issued threats. Understand that we never negotiate under threats or pressure.”
We ended the negotiations, left the meeting, and did not return.
The American side sought another meeting through the mediators, but we refused. The Qatari and Pakistani mediators then came to us, and we told them that we would speak with them, but not with the American side directly.
The outcome of these discussions and the 80-minute negotiations was the statement later released by the Pakistani and Qatari side.
In the old USSR, people could be arrested for photographing bridges, tunnels, etc. A repressive and paranoid regime assumed the photographers must be spies and saboteurs. Americans laughed at such petty tyranny. Nothing like that could happen in their free country! Until now.
WOW!! JD Vance got the Iranians to AGREE to the SAME thing we had under OBAMA in the agreement that TRUMP pulled out of!
All it took was months of war, 300 billion to Iran, and one of the biggest US capitulations in history.
ART OF THE DEAL, BABY!!

#Loret. Marina del Pilar reconoció la autenticidad del audio revelado por Héctor de Mauleón sobre gestiones para intentar resolver la revocación de su visa en Estados Unidos. La gobernadora de Baja California admitió que buscó apoyo legal externo para atender el caso de su visa revocada, aunque negó cualquier intento de negociación “en lo oscurito” con autoridades estadounidenses. #Latinus #InformaciónParaTi
“Es muy fácil saber dónde están esos 800 millones de pesos, que la presidenta diga en qué escuelas, cuántas computadoras se compraron y en dónde está peso por peso. Pero pasa lo mismo que el año pasado, falta de transparencia en el uso de recursos”: @marco_fdezm en @WRADIOMexico

En el caso del Tren Interoceánico, la Fiscalía concluyó que hubo exceso de velocidad y procesó a algunos de los trabajadores.
Tan mal hecho estaba el proyecto que sí se van a cambiar algunos trazos.
¿Quién supervisó el proyecto?

When Ronald Reagan tapped Alan Greenspan to succeed Paul Volcker as Fed chairman in 1987, an administration official told the New York Times, “If you think that Volcker was the master of obfuscation, wait until you hear Alan.”
Greenspan would envision the next morning’s newspaper headline as he spoke to Congress, ready to turn incomprehensible if he didn’t like what he imagined reading the next day. “On occasion, when I realized I’m halfway through a sentence and I don’t want to complete that sentence, I would roam off almost irrelevantly, because I didn’t care what the transcript said,” he said in 2009.
Heather Conley, nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, says that Iran is being paid to open the Strait of Hormuz without making concessions on its nuclear program https://t.co/O5WAam8PFH
Les Américains ont signé un protocole qui prévoit un cessez-le-feu au Liban. C’est écrit noir sur blanc, inconditionnel et immédiat. Les Iraniens sont en droit de leur demander d’honorer leur signature. L’incohérence et l’amateurisme de cette administration dépassent la mesure.
