NEW: Stephen Miran Confirmed to Federal Reserve Board Ahead of Interest Rate Meeting at the Fed

Trump advisor Stephen Miran was confirmed to the Federal Reserve Board ahead of Tuesday’s high-stakes interest rate meeting at the Fed.
Miran was confirmed in the Senate in 48-47 vote.
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will meet on Tuesday to set interest rates.
Shortly before Miran was confirmed, a federal appeals court rejected Trump’s bid to fire embattled Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, allowing her to participate in tomorrow’s FOMC meeting.
Fox News reported:
The Senate confirmed Stephen Miran, one of the White House’s top economic advisors, on Monday to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the body that steers the U.S. economy.
Senators voted 48-47, largely party-line vote in the Republican-controlled Senate.
Miran is set to report to the Fed’s Washington, D.C., headquarters on Tuesday, as officials open a two-day meeting that will help decide the direction of the economy.
The Federal Open Market Committee will meet on Sept. 16 to set U.S. interest rates and broader monetary policy. Those decisions ripple through to borrowing costs on everything from mortgages to credit cards.
President Trump last month announced Dr. Stephen Miran will fill the vacancy on the Federal Reserve Board until January 31, 2026.
Last month Biden-appointed Federal Reserve Governor Adriana Kugler announced she will be resigning from her post Friday, August 8.
Adriana Kugler’s resignation left President Trump a vacancy to fill.
“Dr. Kugler, who has served as a governor since September 13, 2023, submitted her letter of resignation to President Trump and will return to Georgetown University as a professor this fall,” the announcement said.
President Trump announced Dr. Stephen Miran, current Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, will fill the vacancy.
“It is my Great Honor to announce that I have chosen Dr. Stephen Miran, current Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, to serve in the just vacated seat on the Federal Reserve Board until January 31, 2026. In the meantime, we will continue to search for a permanent replacement. Stephen has a Ph.D. in Economics from Harvard University, and served with distinction in my First Administration. He has been with me from the beginning of my Second Term, and his expertise in the World of Economics is unparalleled — He will do an outstanding job. Congratulations Stephen!” President Trump said on Truth Social.

US jobs numbers for February far exceeded expectations to start 2026.
President Trump doubled expectations adding 130,000 jobs when only 55,000 was expected.

President Trump: Just in: GREAT JOBS NUMBERS, FAR GREATER THAN EXPECTED! The United States of America should be paying MUCH LESS on its Borrowings (BONDS!).

From the president’s Truth Social account:

At what point can the American people sue the Federal Reserve Chief for his dereliction of duty? Jerome Powell is now costing every American untold amounts of money by refusing to do his job!
CNBC host Rick Santelli reacted positively:

Democrat Rep. Nadler Has to be Woken Up by Staffer During Bondi Hearing (VIDEO)

Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (NY) had to be woken up by a staffer on Wednesday morning during a congressional hearing.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on the Epstein files, fatal shootings of two anti-ICE agitators and more.
Nadler fell asleep just minutes into Wednesday’s hearing.
A staffer walked over to Nadler and woke him up.
WATCH:
Later on during the hearing, Nadler and Bondi got into a shouting match over Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators.
“How many [co-conspirators] have you indicted?” Nadler asked Bondi.
“Excuse me! I’m going to answer!” Bondi said.
“Answer my question!” Nadler demanded.
“I’m gonna answer the question the way I want to answer the question. Your theatrics are ridiculous,” Bondi said.
“Chairman Jordan, I’m not gonna get into the gutter with these people,” Bondi said.
Bondi and Nadler continued to talk over each other until Chairman Jim Jordan intervened.

According to the Tumbler Ridge Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia left nine dead and at least 25 more injured.
According to police, the sole suspect, described as a “gunperson’ wearing a dress, was found dead inside the school from “a self-inflicted injury.”
Per CNN:
Police found six people dead and dozens injured when they arrived at the high school in Tumbler Ridge, a town of just 2,400 people in northeast British Columbia, early on Tuesday afternoon. Another person died en route to hospital, police said.
The alleged shooter, who was found dead at the school with a self-inflicted injury, is believed to have killed two more people, whose bodies were discovered at a home in the township
Two victims were airlifted from the school to hospital with serious or life-threatening injuries. And about 25 other people were also being treated at a local medical center, police said.

Fox News reported that Superintendent Ken Floyd, North District Commander, said in a statement, “This was a rapidly evolving and dynamic situation, and the swift cooperation from the school, first responders, and the community played a critical role in our response.”
“Our thoughts are with the families, loved ones, and all those impacted by this tragic incident. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional day for our community, and we are grateful for the cooperation shown as officers continue their work to advance the investigation.”
Juno News, an independent outlet in Canada, claims to have spoken with someone connected to the suspected shooter’s family who says the suspect was trans and used “she/her” pronouns, but authorities have not confirmed the claim.
The Guardian reported that the police have identified the shooter, but didn’t publicly release their identity due to the integrity of the investigation.
The shooter’s identity, any potential connections to groups, and motivations remain under investigation.
