The #Federal is ready to provide #dollar liquidity through its swap lines w/other central banks as needed, #JeromePowell said.

"We want to make sure that dollars are available.”

"The reason we do it is it's really good for US consumers, so we'll do that just as part of the dollar being a reserve currency.”

Reserves are still abundant

Not close to where Fed would stop balance sheet runoff

The slower the Fed goes, the smaller the balance sheet can get w/o disruption

Judge in Alien Enemies Act case to oversee case about Signal chat

The judge who the government has argued can't be trusted with sensitive information in the Alien Enemies Act case
-- has been assigned to a case about top government officials appearing to share sensitive information on the commercial messaging application Signal. 

U.S. District Court Judge James #Boasberg in the District of Columbia has been assigned to oversee the case of American Oversight against top officials involved in a Signal group chat about an attack in Yemen.
The lawsuits seeks to make sure the officials are not using the app to get around federal record-keeping requirements.  
“Messages in the Signal chat about official government actions, including, but not limited to, national security deliberations, are #federal #records and must be preserved in accordance with federal statutes, and agency directives, rules, and regulations,” the plaintiffs argue. 
Tulsi #Gabbard is one of the defendants in the case, and used the suit as argument for why she couldn't answer some questions about the group chat in today's House hearing.
"As a result of that pending litigation, I'm limited in my ability to comment further" on the case, she testified.
#Boasberg is overseeing a separate civil case in which alleged Venezuelan gang members have sued to stop from being deported under Trump's invocation of the rarely used Alien Enemies Act.

The administration has refused to answer some of the judge's questions about the initial March 15 deportations in the case and suggested in a filing it did not believe the court could be trusted with such sensitive information

I was reading an article on some of the latest shenanigans going on in the Free Peoples' Republic of Trumpistan, and I misread a sentence that was talking about the federal government as "feral government", and I'm not sure that was less correct.

I say we take disciplinary action against Pete #Hegseth for violating #federal #law by revealing #top-#secret #military plans to someone not authorized to receive it.

Thanks so much, Jeffrey Goldberg, for reporting on this! 👏
