Biden’s Fed Nominees Left in Limbo in Standoff Over Raskin

There's precedent for changing the rules to prevent minority from blocking or delaying noms in the last decade. Dem nuke/GOP SCOTUS nuke/GOP debate hours nuke/GOP nukes Judiciary's quorum rules for SCOTUS/Barrett.
Manchin, meanwhile, told me he wants to talk to Powell again about taming inflation when I asked if he's decided if he'll back Biden's Fed picks. He also has calls lined up with other Fed nominees.

So not your typical day covering the Banking Committee.

Toomey plans to block quorum for Raskin; complains he hasn’t gotten answers to questions Re: he work with Reserve Trust.

Brown mad, says Toomey agreed to votes today weeks ago.

All 5 noms now caught in scrum
Getting around Toomey’s blockade would require backing of at least one Republican on the committee or floor action by all 50 Dems.

Unlike with the blockade of Amy Coney Barrett by Senate Ds, which Graham bypassed because it merely required breaking a committee rule, this could require detonating a procedural nuke because Rs and Ds are equally divided.

Tuna. Don't drain the water. Add a few tablespoons of spicy or Dijon mustard and a few tablespoons of relish.

Stir.

Add a few tablespoons of Honey Bunches.

Close eyes.

Eat.

Enjoy.

Thank me later.
If you think hot dogs, mustard and relish are better, you should go to a hot dog factory. It's not better.

Jerry Moran (R-Kansas). Congrats to those who got it right!
I will accept Thune as a good guess, but his is different.
