@atrupar Wait until the next administration.

Kevin Warsh won't commit to defending Lisa Cook's position on the Fed

@BarakRavid @LiveSquawk @DHSgov What comes from the White House is all lies and market manipulation.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are also still in the US. The @DHSgov plane that was supposed to take them this morning from Miami to Europe and to Pakistan didn't leave until several minutes ago and is making its way now to Washington DC. Maybe they are going to see Trump

@FirstSquawk Yeah the Obama deal with much more money.

White House to Fox News: We are close to reaching a "good deal" with Iran

@KobeissiLetter That's because we are in a crisis. An authoritarian tactless idiot is President and his hold on Congress is being lost day by day.

US small businesses are pulling back on investment as if we are in a crisis: In March, only 16% of small businesses said that they plan on investing in CapEx over the next 6 months, the lowest reading since November 2009. This percentage has declined -12 points since November 2024. By comparison, the pre-2008 Financial Crisis and the 2020 pandemic levels were 30-35%. Furthermore, the proportion of firms investing in CapEx over the last 6 months has declined -9 points since January, and remains below the long-term historical average. This comes as policy uncertainty and elevated energy costs are weighing on small businesses. All while they cite taxes, quality of labor, and inflation as their most important problems. Small businesses are struggling in the US.

@axios Trump's illegal war of choice will end when Iran wants. Iran will get whatever they want and it will put them in a better position that when President Obama along with Russia, China, and 5 European countries forced Iran into an agreement Trump tore up. JCPOA 🍊🤡💩 Dummy

Trump wants the war to end, now, on his terms. But there's only 1 day left before the ceasefire expires, Iran still controls Hormuz, and the sides have been unable to even set a meeting. The war may therefore be on the precipice of a massive expansion. axios.com/2026/04/20/tru…

@PiQNewswire Tell Trump. Not that he listens or that the truth matters.

Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf stated that lowering interest rates before clarity on the Iran conflict's end would be wrong, citing risks. More Here → m.piqsuite.com/?widget-articl…

@financialjuice Fuk dat guy. 🍊🤡💩

@business @johnauthers @opinion It shouldn't be but apparently, for those not paying attention, it is and has been for quite some time. This likelihood was a surprise to no one who has half a brain and has been paying attention that it was a high probability if not certainty, if Iran was attacked.

More diplomacy is on the cards, but the Strait of Hormuz isn't a faucet to be turned on and off, writes @johnauthers (via @opinion) bloomberg.com/opinion/newsle…

Worthless 🍊🤡💩

@GsxrEconomics @KobeissiLetter The picture is apparently bigger than most little minds can capture. It's not the success of the act but the political statement and the lack of a ceasefire that's more important and the fact that American service members' lives are still at risk.

@KobeissiLetter Sent a couple of drones towards the ships to be shot down. They get to say they did this in retaliation. Makes them look semi strong to those foolish enough to believe it. However, it resolves what happened today.

BREAKING: Iran says it has attacked US military ships with drones in retaliation for the US striking and seizing an Iranian cargo vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, per Tasnim.

💗 my state

@GrowSmarter_x You ask that like it's a bad thing. One, you said she's a good woman. That's all that should matter. Two, what if two, or possibly all 3 father's were killed in a war serving their country?

Can you?

@GrowSmarter_x WTF??? What about a president with 5 kids from 3 different mothers. 2 ex-wives and a current one whom he cheats on with 🌽stars and groupies

@WUTangKids @BumphBean Exactly. 💯

So what’s the problem here….much rather all elected officials get sworn in on the constitution than a bible

@AZ_Brittney @AlanSmitheeDGA 👋🏾

Who agrees? ✋

@RpsAgainstTrump What a disgusting fucking joke.

Trump: I am pleased to announce that TODAY my Administration officially filed the presentation and plans to the highly respected Commission of Fine Arts for what will be the GREATEST and MOST BEAUTIFUL Triumphal Arch, anywhere in the World

@FirstSquawk Iran has already closed it.

Trump: We believe that many countries will help us in closing the Strait of Hormuz

@JohnFetterman You refuse to do the job that the Constitution obligates you to do. You defer to some loser rather than take responsibility for your own obligations. You belong in the private sector. Go sell your book 100% of the time and let a patriot actually fill the seat you're blocking.

In my career, I’ve picked the battles that matter. This story started by a single vote 20 years ago. My public service path, the stroke, depression—UNFETTERED lays it out and pays it forward for anyone dealing with mental health challenges. Preorder now. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/769648/u…

@PiQNewswire We can't provide a stable relationship with anyone because we currently have a very unstable president. Ask his ex-wives. Maybe his current one too. Or even our neighboring countries. Or our allies. Or his last Vice-President. And so on. Tell this Greer dude to STFU. He lies.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that the United States desires a stable relationship with China, but Chinese involvement with Iran contrary to U.S. interests would complicate matters. More Here → m.piqsuite.com/?widget-articl…

@smithwbrian68 @KobeissiLetter The Fed is doing what it has to do because Congress and the President control fiscal policy (spending, taxes, and deficits), and the Fed responds to it. What did you think was going to happen with $5T in tax cuts with budget deficit spending, illegal tariffs, and wars?

@KobeissiLetter 'Because it literally creates its own money' has become congress' version of drug addiction- at tremendous cost to taxpayers. $39 Trillion debt and spiraling out of control is the beginning of the end of the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency.

BREAKING: The Federal Reserve reported an operating loss of -$18.7 billion in 2025, marking its 3rd consecutive annual loss. This brings the total 3-year loss to -$210.3 billion after the -$77.6 billion recorded in 2024 and -$114.0 billion in 2023. The losses are primarily driven by the Fed paying out more in interest to banks and money market funds than it earns from its bond and MBS holdings. Since the losses began in September 2022, the Fed has stopped remitting income to the Treasury Department, ending a streak that totaled +$1.36 trillion since 2008. However, the Fed cannot become insolvent because it quite literally creates its own money. Truly incredible.
