    Meta names former Trump advisor Dina Powell McCormick as president, vice chair

    Prior to joining Meta, Powell McCormick served as deputy national security advisor to President Donald Trump, and she served under Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in President George W. Bush’s administration.

    Powell McCormick marks the second former member of the Trump administration that Meta has hired in recent weeks. The company said earlier this month that it has hired a new chief legal officer, Curtis Joseph Mahoney, who previously served as a deputy U.S. trade representative during Trump’s first term.

    “Congratulations to DINA POWELL MCCORMICK, WHO HAS JUST BEEN NAMED THE NEW PRESIDENT OF META. A great choice by Mark Z!!! She is a fantastic, and very talented, person, who served the Trump Administration with strength and distinction!,” Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform Truth Social on Monday.

    Stock market is down a bit. Keep it coming Donnie, people love to see the stock market drop.

    Republican Sen. Thom Tillis vows to block Trump's Fed nominees following Powell probe

    • Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said he will block any Trump Fed appointees, including for chair, in light of revelations that the Justice Department is investigating Jerome Powell for potential perjury charges.

    • That position substantially complicates the road to replacing Powell, whose term as chair expires in May.

    • While Powell’s term as chair ends in May, he can stay on as governor until 2028. He has not indicated yet whether he will do so.

    President Donald Trump will face an important obstacle — from within his own party — as he seeks to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

    Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said Sunday he will block any Trump appointees to the central bank, including for the new chair, in light of revelations over the weekend that the Justice Department is investigating Powell for potential perjury charges.

    “If there were any remaining doubt whether advisers within the Trump Administration are actively pushing to end the independence of the Federal Reserve, there should now be none. It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question,” Tillis said in a statement.

    “I will oppose the confirmation of any nominee for the Fed — including the upcoming Fed Chair vacancy — until this legal matter is fully resolved,” he added.

    That position substantially complicates the road to replacing Powell, whose term as chair expires in May. The banking committee, of which Tillis is a member, has 13 Republicans and 11 Democrats, so even one defection sets up a stalemate.

    Tillis usually supports Trump but occasionally has broken with the president. For instance, he was one of just two GOP senators to vote against the One Big Beautiful Bill spending package last year.

    Powell’s position isn’t the only one at stake.

    Stephen Miran’s term as governor ends in January, and there has been chatter about potential retirements, particularly Vice Chair Philip Jefferson.

    However, news that the office of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a Trump confidant and former Fox News host, is investigating Powell for perjury clouds the situation. Powell on Sunday released a statement acknowledging the investigation and alleging it is a pretext for giving Trump power over the Fed.

    I know there are still offensive line concerns, but I feel a hell of lot better about our RB room right now than I did back in August, our WR room is better, and I think second-half-of-2025 Arch is his floor for next season.

    I don't really care where they come from, but I got a chuckle out of picking up a couple of top players out of Alabama (or that were headed to Alabama). This year is looking pretty damn good.

  4. This needs to be shoved in the face of all of those MAGA types who claim to be Christian and ask them if this is what Jesus would do.

    They'll try to justify it because most of them aren't really Christians. They can call themselves Christian, just like I can call myself a lottery winner even if I don't buy a fucking lottery ticket.

    Powell subpoena will tank the market.

    They are down a bit in after-hours trading. Here's hoping they tank tomorrow and Trump loses his shit again.

    I put it at a decent chance that it's some grifter behind Ross's gofundme, but even if it's not, it's a good reminder that Ross won't be living a normal life for a very long time. His boys had to show up in masks to move his shit somewhere else.

    And you can bet that unless he moves to some remote shithole in North Dakota or Montana, he will get outted again and have to move again.

    Could be the minerals, but we can probably purchase mineral rights cheaper (and using private sector funds) than we can "buying" Greenland.

    Thiel and the datacenter/AI boys all want those minerals. His boy is at Trump's side, so why not get them cheap?

    What the fuck is going on?

    They are losing control of the narrative and in some cases, the public spaces - no matter how they spin things, there's cell phones everywhere recording them, people are chasing them away with numbers, whistles, and phones/cameras, people are actively trying to dox all of them. Their boy Ross and his family had to be moved to a safe house after he murdered a woman.

    All of that leads into them having to try and intimidate people even more and to try to reestablish control over the population by doing these raids and pointing their sidearms at people and picking people out to harass. They can't identify these agents for the most part (although there is a large number of people who are quietly working to doxx every one of the ICE agents) so the agents don't have to worry about being reprimanded.

    Holy shit, just got into a yelling match with my wife (on my side) and the in laws. Just straight right wing propagandists. They immediately bring up shit that I only vaguely know about from the Fox News thread and such on this site as if it is straight reality.

    For a second there, I was about to suggest you need to check the lineup of your backup spouses in case you end up divorced but saw she was on your side.

    You married well

    And don’t let them stand on some story that the agent was previously hit by a car. If that truly traumatized him, then he shouldn’t be placed in the scenario where there are cars present. He can be in a office filling out paperwork.

    Point out that he was violating DHS policy with this shooting by trying to get in front of the Pillot, and also that he was violating DHS policy when he got dragged before.

    I gotta tell ya.....little moments like that are literally the only thing that gives me even a scintilla of hope. People banding together, acting with audacity and courage, in the face of evil.....it's literally the only chance we've got.

    This gives me an inkling of hope. This past week has been the darkest in our country of at least my entire life.

    Ross had to move out of his home. May not seem like much of a consequence, but as more ICE agents get doxxed or face being doxxed and as more Americans realize they are cowards that can't stand the spotlight being shone on them (or rather the whistles and cameras) the dynamic may change a bit. Some will become more dangerous, I'm sure, but they are being followed, they are being tracked. All it takes is a few careless seconds and somebody gets a photo of a face, and they will lose their anonymity and get to move out like Ross did.

    The people following them and confronting them are awesome. Wish I had the balls to do that.

    I wonder how far they will be willing to take this. Meaning, they "support" that, and they support shooting a 37 year-old mom in the face through her driver side window as she tries to drive away. If video comes out tomorrow of ICE mowing down a bunch of kids, does that get their support too? Is there a line?

    I'm sure Noem will say "nits grow into lice" or something along those lines.
