Plus: A new ATF director rips up Biden-era gun regs, Florida nets the GOP four seats, Powell holds rates HIGH on his way out, Democrats prep their redistricting counterattack, and a Tallahassee school hid a gender plan from a 13-year-old's parents. All in today's episode.
A federal arrest warrant just landed for former FBI Director James Comey. The charge? Multiple federal grand jury counts in North Carolina tied to an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to read "8647." Yes, seashells. The DOJ says it was a threat against the President. Comey says he just stumbled on it while walking the beach. Even Chuck isn't sure THIS is the way to bring him down — but as Chuck puts it, our Department of Justice is so broken, who knows why they decided to try to get him this way?
Then there's Jerome Powell, holding rates HIGH one more time on his way out the door. With March inflation at 3.3% (the highest since May 2024) and Pantheon Macroeconomics now floating a forecast that real rate cuts may not arrive until 2027 — conveniently after the midterms — Chuck connects the dots most outlets won't. Plus the SCOTUS Voting Rights Act ruling that just gave Florida the green light to redraw, the Democrat counterattack already taking shape across Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, and the 11th Circuit decision that said a school covertly affirming a 13-year-old's gender identity behind the parents' backs did not "shock the conscience." It shocked Chuck.
Truth starts now.
