She pointed to a simple measure of banks’ capital levels — one that considers how much debt they’re taking on without factoring in what kind of risks they’re taking — that suggests megabanks’ capital buffers are now roughly where they were in 2009. It’s unclear where the next threats to the financial system might come from. Bair is less worried about crypto, for instance, than she is about turmoil in private credit markets, where lenders that aren’t banks make riskier loans to businesses. But the whole point of capital is that it’s intended to guard against the unexpected.
And right now, she’s worried that regulators are letting their guard down...
When the attorney general is reduced to a stack of pre-prepared insults to deliver, and when the DOJ is responding to my every tweet with additional unredactions, I don't think I'm going to change what I'm doing just yet."…
Talarico posted a nearly minute-long clip of his interview with Colbert on X, calling it "the interview Donald Trump didn't want you to see." He planned to have a Tuesday evening rally in Austin.
"I think Donald Trump is worried we're about to flip Texas," Talarico said in a statement. "This is the most dangerous kind of cancel culture, the kind that comes from the top."…

Trump matched that blunt, even abrasive, candor on European affairs with a sequence of stark pronouncements on matters closer to home: He said he would make support for immediately slashing interest rates a litmus test in his choice of a new Federal Reserve chair. He said he could extend anti-drug military operations to Mexico and Colombia. And Trump urged conservative Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas, both in their 70s, to stay on the bench...
"Life is not so easy for anybody," Trump said during the interview. "Our country has never done better. We should not have had people leaving their jobs."
Trump also stood by the claim in his post, that he would send a $10,000 bonus for anyone who worked throughout the entirety of the shutdown. Pressed on where those funds would come from, he said: "I don't know. I will get it from some place. I always get the money from some place, regardless. It doesn't matter."

Heritage Foundation defended former Fox News host, others slammed him for platforming white supremacist…
He was soon back to making incendiary comments. During a lengthy back-and-forth in which he and Carlson found common ground on matters of gender, Fuentes said that "your wife ultimately is subordinate to you" and intimated that no-fault divorce gets in the way of relegating women to their supposed natural lower status…
Fuentes also gave some advice to Trump about the immigration crackdown in Chicago, where he lives. "Bring in the troops and say the federal government is supreme," he said. "The immigration law is the law of the land. If you're not on board with that, you're going to jail." Arrests aren't enough; there must be a total autocratic military takeover of Illinois. For years now, Fuentes has been both an embarrassment to the right and an indicator of what's brewing in the id of conservatism. Now that he has entered the fold of MAGA, his visions for a truly reactionary party are closer than ever to being realized.
