Wisconsin saw a Republican hold, and CA saw a R get a seat back that they held for 26 of the last 28 years. By all accounts the D there was basically a Katie McGinty level stiff. Not sure there's much to read into here.

Jerome H. Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, delivered a stark warning on Wednesday that the United States was facing an economic hit “without modern precedent,” one that could permanently damage the economy if Congress did not provide sufficient policy support to prevent a wave of bankruptcies and prolonged joblessness.

Mr. Powell’s blunt diagnosis was the clearest signal yet that the trillions of dollars in support that policymakers have already funneled into the economy may not be enough to prevent lasting damage from a pandemic that has shuttered businesses and thrown more than 20 million people out of work.

It also serves as a rejoinder to lawmakers and the Trump administration, whose discussions of additional rescue measures have run aground as Democrats unveil a wish list and Republicans shy away from federal spending, betting instead that “reopening” the economy will quickly and dramatically lift growth.

Now planet nonsense, which informs Donald thinking, would lead me to believe that this is modern miner '49er Buck Sexton striking gold in them there hills as a conspiracy theory spinner knitting his claim that Obama spent his time after the election orchestrating the demise of Trump and the country. “The biggest political crime in American history, by far!” As if that could be kept quite for so long, even by the Deep State.

Just more butt hurt over the investigation into Russian interference? Especially since the senate quietly agreed.

People are such snow flakes over Team Trump doing such a piss poor job at being president.
