BREAKING: 71% of Americans support passing the SAVE AMERICA ACT, per HarvardCAPS/Harris poll.

While Trump is attacking Iran, this is what Los Angeles looks like.

JUST IN - Trump declares war on Iran: "The Iranian regime seeks to kill. The lives of courageous American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties. That often happens in war."

In sworn testimony to the Senate Banking Committee (March 2024), Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the following: “There’s no VIP dining room, there’s no new marble. There are no special elevators. No new water features, no beehives, and no roof terrace gardens.” But I’ve reviewed the official renovation documents for the $2.5 billion Fed HQ upgrade... and the evidence is overwhelming: 1. "VIP Dining Room" – CONTRADICTION FOUND Evidence: Submission Materials, p.19 "The historically significant Level 4 lounge and adjoining executive dining rooms currently have an eighteen-inch level change between the entry hall and the lounge suite. The proposed project will ... provide a new accessible ramp ... up to the level of the lounge suite. Additionally, the Governors' private elevator will be extended to discharge at the dining suite level." Why this contradicts Powell: Powell explicitly stated “no VIP dining room.” The documents reference “executive dining rooms” and a “dining suite level” for governors. 2. "Special Elevators" – CONTRADICTION FOUND Evidence: Submission Materials, p.19 "Governors' private elevator will be extended to discharge at the dining suite level." Why this contradicts Powell: He stated “no special elevators.” A “Governors’ private elevator” is a textbook example of a special elevator for VIPs. 3. "New Marble" – CONTRADICTION FOUND Evidence: Submission Materials, p.40 "WHITE GEORGIA MARBLE (POLISHED & HONED)" specified for exterior materials. Addendum, p.14: "The marble walkway at the edge of the building's south façade will be salvaged and rebuilt to accommodate the below-grade foundation work on the building." Why this contradicts Powell: He denied “new marble,” but the plans specify new marble finishes and reconstruction. 4. "Roof Terrace Gardens" – CONTRADICTION FOUND Evidence: Addendum, p.24 "Both extensive and semi-intensive system will be provided to support vegetated roof terraces ... Roof plantings will emphasize ... species ... that can support urban wildlife and pollinators." "Paved areas ... will be furnished with moveable tables and chairs and planters. Planted areas will be supported by an extensive to semi-intensive vegetated roof system." Why this contradicts Powell: He denied any “roof terrace gardens,” but the documents describe multiple occupiable, planted roof terraces. 5. "New Water Features" – CONTRADICTION FOUND Evidence: Addendum, p.18 "Two new water features are proposed in the garden spaces on either side of the lawn." "The terrace will have movable furniture and will be bordered by a linear water feature on the west side of the plaza that faces east onto the main building entry." Why this contradicts Powell: He denied any “new water features.” The plans specify at least three. 6. "Beehives" – INDIRECT CONTRADICTION Evidence: Addendum, p.24 "Roof plantings will ... support urban wildlife and pollinators." Why this is relevant: “Pollinator” design suggests intentional support for bees, consistent with the idea of providing for beehives... though not explicitly named. The Federal Reserve’s planning documents from September 2021 explicitly reference at least five features Jerome Powell denied existed in sworn Senate testimony... - Executive/VIP dining rooms - Special/private elevators for governors - Extensive new marble finishes and walkways - Multiple vegetated roof terraces (“roof terrace gardens”) - Several new water features Each of these features directly contradicts Powell’s March 2024 denials under oath...
