Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

Tricia McLaughlin wins Baghdad Bob award for public disinformation

“In a surprise, McLaughlin, the DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs bested prolific Trump administration liars Karoline Leavitt and Steven Cheung.

What was the difference?

“Her shameless cruelty”.

So what if the IT tech was also a gay priest?
gabrielmalor.bsky.social Gabriel Malor @gabrielmalor.bsky.social · 14d
9th Cir. will allow a Washington "Christian ministry" to decline to hire even non-ministerial employees like IT technicians who would "flout [the mission's] religious principles" (read: be gay) despite Washington anti-discrimination laws.

Judge Bumatay writes.

cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/op...
Union Gospel has shown it is likely to succeed on the merits of its claims based on the church autonomy doctrine. If a religious organization’s hiring of co-religionists for nonministerial positions rests on its sincerely held religious beliefs, then the church autonomy doctrine forbids government interference with that hiring decision. And recognizing the limits of employment law breaks no new ground. Congress has long exempted religious employers from federal employment laws that interfere with their ability “to define and carry out their religious missions.” Amos, 483 U.S. at 329, 339 (interpreting 42 U.S.C. § 2000e1). Other States within the Ninth Circuit have similar exemptions in their state analogs. See, e.g., Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 41-1462; Cal. Gov. Code § 12926(d); Haw. Rev. Stat. § 378-3(5); Idaho Code § 67-5910(1); Or. Rev. Stat. § 659A.006(5)(c); Mont. Code Ann. § 49-2-101(11); Nev. Rev. Stat. § 613.320(1)(b). Even Washington’s Legislature understood the importance of religious freedom in exempting religious organizations from WLAD’s scope—an exemption that stood for over 70 years. See Wash. Rev. Code § 49.60.040(11). This tension with the First Amendment arises only from Washington courts’ recent reading of WLAD. Given that interpretation’s outlier status, adhering to the church autonomy doctrine here is unlikely to have broader impact. We affirm the preliminary injunction.

Dr. Mehmet Oz’s ability to lie to an audience is undisputed
washingtonpost.com The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · Dec 15
Dr. Mehmet Oz’s ability to reach an audience is undisputed.

But he now faces a test of whether showmanship and affability can win over public support as he guides major Medicaid changes and oversees soaring costs of Affordable Care Act plans.
What happened when Dr. Oz took charge of a wonky health agency
The former TV doctor running the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Washington’s wonky health agency, has garnered positive reviews — even from some Democrats.
