In remarks following the release of the Fed's decision Wednesday to leave interest rates unchanged, Powell said he didn't "really understand where talk of a stagflation scenario is coming from" given the preponderance of solid economic data. Historically, stagflation occurs when high unemployment, slow economic growth, and high inflation all happen at the same time. Powell compared today's economy, with both inflation rates and the unemployment rate below 4%, to the 1970s, the decade when most economists consider stagflation to have taken root. Comment too long.

The letter, dated April 23, puts the Fox News Channel and Fox News Digital on notice for litigation claims arising from the network’s alleged “conspiracy and subsequent actions to defame Mr. Biden and paint him in a false light, the unlicensed commercial exploitation of his image, name, and likeness, and the unlawful publication of hacked intimate images of him.” Biden has hired attorney Mark Geragos and his firm to represent him in the Fox litigation efforts. The letter is the second outreach to Fox this month. Fox News agreed to pay $800 million to Dominion Voting Systems to settle defamation claims related to Fox’s airing of election fraud claims in the 2020 election. Fox News also agreed to a $12 million settlement with a former employee who alleged she was pressured to provide misleading information as part of the Dominion case. Fox is currently facing a $2.7 billion lawsuit brought by Smartmatic, another voting system company that was the focus of Fox News coverage, as well as suits brought by shareholders against directors of the company for allowing the channel to air the allegations during its 2020 election coverage. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/rcna149707 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2983316/hunter-biden-preparing-to-sue-fox-news/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-vNHRExA7E 169 replies omitted.

The DEA’s proposal, which still must be reviewed by the White House Office of Management and Budget, would recognize the medical uses of cannabis and acknowledge it has less potential for abuse than some of the nation’s most dangerous drugs. However, it would not legalize marijuana outright for recreational use. The agency’s move, confirmed to the AP on Tuesday by five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive regulatory review, clears the last significant regulatory hurdle before the agency’s biggest policy change in more than 50 years can take effect. Once OMB signs off, the DEA will take public comment on the plan to move marijuana from its current classification as a Schedule I drug, alongside heroin and LSD. It moves pot to Schedule III, alongside ketamine and some anabolic steroids, following a recommendation from the federal Health and Human Services Department. After the public comment period and a review by an administrative judge, the agency would eventually publish the final rule. 97 replies omitted. Click here to view. >>

Trump, speaking to supporters in Wisconsin, complained at length about his legal cases when he began attacking lawmakers who probed the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol. “Remember the person that said I attacked a Secret Service agent in the front of the car? It’s not my deal. I’m a lover, not a fighter,” Trump told supporters in Waukesha. “Remember that? And these are tough guys. You know these Secret Service guys, I hate to admit it, they’re slightly younger than me. Just slightly.” Trump continued to mock the testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who told the congressional panel investigating that day she had heard from others that Trump “lunged” for the steering wheel following his speech near the White House in an apparent effort to veer toward the Capitol. “This is crazy stuff. I sat in the back, and you know what I did say, I said ‘I’d like to go down there because I see a lot of people walking down,’” Trump said Wednesday. “They said, ‘Sir, it’s better if you don’t.’ I said, ‘Well, I’d like to … whatever you guys think.’ That was the whole one of the conversation. These people are crazy.” >>
Anonymous 05/01/24(Wed)19:05:32 No. 1292008 Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, when rioters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to halt the certification of the 2020 election results, have been central to President Biden’s campaign for reelection, and they have been at the core of federal charges against Trump in Washington. Hutchinson’s bombshell testimony before the now-disbanded Jan. 6 committee in 2022 raised new questions about Trump’s actions and his efforts to join supporters marching toward the Capitol. The driver of Trump’s car on Jan. 6 disputed the testimony that Trump tried to take control of the car. “[President Trump] never grabbed the steering wheel. I didn’t see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all,” the unnamed driver told the committee’s investigators, according to a report from House Republicans released earlier this year. A copy reviewed by The New York Times, however, indicates the driver backed Hutchinson’s details about Trump’s insistence on joining supporters at the Capitol, making the demand to the driver as well as Bobby Engel, the head of former President Trump’s security detail on Jan. 6. “The president was insistent on going to the Capitol,” recounted the driver, whose name was not disclosed. >>

The Department of Homeland Security revealed that it sent over 200,000 migrants on a controversial parole program to 45 cities across the United States between January and August 2023. The policy, which was enacted in October 2022, allowed migrants who had not entered the country illegally to fly directly into America. Migrants were also required to have a sponsor in the US and pass various vetting tests. It was initially announced for Venezuelans, before adding Haitians, Nicaraguans and Cubans amid one of the worst migrant crises in American history under President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Around 80 percent of the migrants were sent to four cities in the state of Florida: Miami - which got 91,821, more than any other city - Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa Bay were among the top 15 destinations, according to the DHS. Under fire Secretary Mayorkas says the program led to a reduction in people from those nations illegally crossing the border. 'It is a key element of our efforts to address the unprecedented level of migration throughout our hemisphere, and other countries around the world see it as a model to tackle the challenge of increased irregular migration that they too are experiencing,' Mayorkas said.Comment too long.

Katie Hobbs, who is expected to sign it. Two Republicans joined with Democrats in the Senate on the 16-14 vote in favor of repealing a Civil War-era ban on abortions that the state’s highest court recently allowed to take effect. The repeal bill narrowly cleared the Arizona House last week. Hobbs said in a statement that she looks forward to quickly signing the repeal into law. “The devastating consequences of this archaic ban are why I’ve called for it to be repealed since day one of my administration,” she said. “Arizona women should not have to live in a state where politicians make decisions that should be between a woman and her doctor,” Hobbs continued. “While this repeal is essential for protecting women’s lives, it is just the beginning of our fight to protect reproductive healthcare in Arizona.” The revival of the 19th century law had put Republicans on the defensive in a battleground state for the presidential election. “Across the country, women are living in a state of chaos and cruelty caused by Donald Trump,” Vice President Kamala Harris said in a statement on Wednesday.

Tim Kennedy (D) is projected to win the special election for New York’s 26th Congressional District, according to the Associated Press. Kennedy defeated Republican Gary Dickson, a town supervisor, in the Upstate New York district that includes the cities of Buffalo and Niagara Falls and will serve out former Democratic congressman Brian Higgins’s term, which ends in January. Higgins, who was first elected to the House in 2004, resigned his seat in February to take a job leading a performing arts center in the Democratic-leaning district. When Kennedy is sworn in as a member of the House Democratic conference, it will temporarily shave the chamber’s Republican majority to one seat, leaving a small margin for error for party-line agenda items. House Republicans hold 217 seats and Democrats, with Kennedy, will have 213 seats, leaving vacant five seats. A liberal Democrat who ran with the support of the Working Families Party, Kennedy served as a state legislator since 2011 and dominated the congressional race against Dickson financially. He spent more than $1 million on the race — compared with Dickson, who spent around $21,000, according to the latest campaign disclosure reports. Kennedy also is running for the seat’s full term in 2024. 5 replies omitted. Click here to view. >>

Trump “is hereby warned that the Court will not tolerate continued willful violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an incarceratory punishment,” Merchan wrote in his ruling. Merchan said the former president would be fined a total of $9,000, as the prosecution met the burden of proof for nine of the 10 incidents that the they alleged had violated the directive. Trump would need to make that payment by Friday, the ruling states. Merchan said while the fine in this case is not sufficient to achieve its purpose given the wealth of the defendant, he does not have the discretion to increase the financial penalty, requiring him to “consider whether in some instances, jail may be a necessary punishment.” “While $1,000 may suffice in most instances to protect the dignity of the judicial system, to compel respect for its mandates and to punish the offender for disobeying a court order, it unfortunately will not achieve the desired result in those instances where the contemnor can easily afford such a fine,” Merchan wrote. Prosecutors argued at a hearing with the judge that Trump violated the order 10 times through derisive social media posts and posts to his official campaign website, putting witnesses in the case at risk of feeling intimidated. “What happened here is precisely what the order was designed to prevent and the defendant doesn’t care,” prosecuting attorney Christopher Conroy said during the hearing last Tuesday. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-judge-gag-order-ruling_n_6627b21de4b096c7bac6280a 104 replies omitted.

Anonymous 05/01/24(Wed)16:15:06 No. 1291944 >>1291860 There was the fact that Trump's family conspired with the Russians at his Tower, or his campaign head handing over campaign information to the Russians. Or Trump burning one of the US's top spies in Russia, to the Russians, after he became president forcing the CIA to extract him to save his life. https://www.businessinsider.com/us-extracted-russia-spy-trump-classified-info-oval-office-2019-9 >>

The series, which was first posted on the cable network's right-wing streaming service back in October 2022, was removed only a day after Biden's legal team publicly made its threat. Biden says the network defamed him, among other accusations. "We are reviewing the concerns that have just been raised and — out of an abundance of caution in the interim — have taken it down," Fox News Media said in acknowledging the decision Tuesday afternoon.

Anonymous 05/01/24(Wed)10:34:39 No. 1291882 Seems like common sense legal advice when you're getting sued for something. I'm sure they weren't exactly making a bunch of money off it. If they win the lawsuit I would expect them to repost the series; but I would also expect this will settle out of court no matter what the facts are. >>

Anonymous 05/01/24(Wed)15:16:08 No. 1291936 >>1291882 For me the funniest part about all of this is how no one watched the "Trial of Hunter Biden" show when it first aired in 2022 and then Fox dumped it on their streaming service after that. I don't blame Hunter for suing but he has a tough case to prove that people were misled in a massive when only a few thousand people at most watched it to begin with.>>

I have never seen a GOP politician calling for expulsion of Jews to Israel.
