Totally agree. By Vance's logic, voters have no input on the courts because the president doesn't have full control over the judicial system, only appointing judges.
Nope, this is a false and incompetent statement by the Vice President, to justify his illegal seizure of our central bank.
Untrained politicians have zero technical skill to run a central bank. Voters already do get input—by longstanding nomination & confirmation mechanisms.
You know, THE LAW.

Vance on undermining the Federal Reserve: "I don't think we allow bureaucrats to make decisions about monetary policy and interest rates without any input from the people that were elected to serve the American people...POTUS is much better able to make these determinations."

If anyone in the White House is interested in what the law says, and why Congress designed our Federal Reserve to be protected from populist manipulation, here are the facts —>
Congress designed our Federal Reserve to be above interference by the president.
"Congressional intent is clear in… the Banking Act of 1935. …[O]nly an act of Congress or a Supreme Court ruling could fundamentally strengthen presidential influence over monetary policy."

One further thought after today’s Substack post: on tariffs, Trump has been *more* extreme than his campaign, despite urgent warnings from business. Any reason to believe he won’t go all-in on mass deportations? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/america-is...

JD Vance best watch this vid ‘cuz yesterday he bitched that his 3-yr-old was scared by a group of protesters shouting “Slava Ukraini.”
The hypocrisy is staggering: This girl lost her leg in a Russian attack & is a symbol of the unyielding strength of the Ukrainian people who are fighting pure evil.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
