Pulte says that he expects Fed governor Lisa Cook to be indicted and that even if the Supreme Court allows her to stay, he claims that this forthcoming indictment (not a conviction, but an indictment) would be enough to successfully remove her from office before her term ends.


Members of both parties are egging on a nationwide tax revolt—and if the economy were to tank, the country could end up with a toxic combination of widespread joblessness and rampant inflation, @AnnieLowrey argues. theatln.tc/VsVxElnp 🎨: The Atlantic. Source: Getty.

Indeed, both core and "supercore" (core services excluding housing) are up sharply on a three-month annualized basis. Inflation clearly an issue even before the war with Iran sent energy prices through the roof.


It's funny that Hammack, Kashkari and Logan voted against the inclusion of an easing bias in the statement, given that a plain English reading of the statement shows no such bias.

I hope Powell stays on the FOMC till the end of his term in 2028.

This week’s Fed meeting is set to be Powell's last as chair. But the "wait and see" policy path that he carefully carved out amid resurgent inflation risks is likely to stay intact long after he leaves the top job. That means rate cuts are poised to be on an extended hold, much to Trump's chagrin nytimes.com/2026/04/28/bus… @nytimes

MUSK PAY TIED TO MARS COLONY AND SPACE DATA CENTERS SpaceX has tied Elon Musk’s pay to bold goals like building a Mars colony and space-based data centers. He could earn massive share awards if the company hits a $7.5 trillion valuation and establishes a million-person presence on Mars, along with major computing capacity in orbit. He gets nothing unless these targets are met and currently earns only a minimal salary. The plan is highly unusual and may create tension with Tesla, as both companies compete for his attention.

The skew issue was pointed out by the Cleveland Fed back in early 2022 as a reason the trimmed mean was understating inflation back then. Someone wanting the top job who is trashing current measures & methods probably should have known this before latching on to the trimmed mean.
