Interesting that Bessent confirms the process for replacing Powell & Kugler is being run simultaneously…wonder if it raises the odds of what we saw in Trump 1 where they pair a conventional pick with a loon (eg Shelton) to try & increase the chances of the latter being confirmed

I didn't realize that the business model of Bloomberg was just a groupchat that you pay $30,000/yr to join until recently
Good to see the leader of the free world focusing on the most important issue of the day
