Panacea for all that ails

HISTORIC VOTE: The Senate just voted 51-49 that Mayorkas impeachment article I was unconstitutional.

And it falls, without any substantive trial discussion, as the Senate has decided it is not viable/constitutional.

Now, Schumer attempting same on article II.

This means — after Gallagher resigns — Johnson would almost certainly need Democrats to save his job if the motion to oust him comes up for a vote.

Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz says he would save Mike Johnson’s job if MTG brings motion to oust him.

I asked Minneapolis Fed 's Neel Kashkari how many rate cuts he anticipates this year, in light of inflation coming in hotter than expected in March.

'The longer inflation just moves sideways ... that would make me say we should pause indefinitely until we see that confidence…
