Fed Lowers Interest Rates Again

Washington, DC…Available indicators suggest that economic activity has been expanding at a moderate pace. Job gains have slowed this year, and the unemployment rate has edged up but remained low through August; more recent indicators are consistent with these developments. Inflation has moved up since earlier in the year and remains somewhat elevated.

The Committee seeks to achieve maximum employment and inflation at the rate of 2 percent over the longer run. Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated. The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment rose in recent months.

In support of its goals and in light of the shift in the balance of risks, the Committee decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/4 percentage point to 3-3/4 to 4 percent. In considering additional adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will carefully assess incoming data, the evolving outlook, and the balance of risks. The Committee decided to conclude the reduction of its aggregate securities holdings on December 1. The Committee is strongly committed to supporting maximum employment and returning inflation to its 2 percent objective.

In assessing the appropriate stance of monetary policy, the Committee will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the economic outlook. The Committee would be prepared to adjust the stance of monetary policy as appropriate if risks emerge that could impede the attainment of the Committee’s goals. The Committee’s assessments will take into account a wide range of information, including readings on labor market conditions, inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and financial and international developments.

Voting for the monetary policy action were Jerome H. Powell, Chair; John C. Williams, Vice Chair; Michael S. Barr; Michelle W. Bowman; Susan M. Collins; Lisa D. Cook; Austan D. Goolsbee; Philip N. Jefferson; Alberto G. Musalem; and Christopher J. Waller. Voting against this action were Stephen I. Miran, who preferred to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 1/2 percentage point at this meeting, and Jeffrey R. Schmid, who preferred no change to the target range for the federal funds rate at this meeting.

    The stock market is down over 200 points after the Fed rate decrease.
    This indicates some kind of manipulation of the market.

    Meanwhile, in the courts, in Portland and other blue cities, the court has found the DOJ lied as to the need for the guard deployment.
    There was no need, or crisis as the don’;s DOJ said.

    More lies from the maga con administration.
    No wonder over polling shows maga administration is down to 39% favorable rating.

    The voters are waking up to the con maga is, and screwing most all segments of the US economy and Democracy.

    Sadly the main st media has been hijacked by billionaire corporations, and pressure from maga don , so the truth is absent, you have to look to foreign outlets for the truth of what is going on the maga America.

    The truth aint on Fox folks, that’s well proven.

      Little does the Bigot above know but here’s the real truth and it had started last year when Americans woke up and found not only were the democrats covering up their 3 years of failures and corruption the Legacy Media was colluding with the Dimwits.

      “The media landscape in 2024 is undergoing seismic changes as traditional news outlets face dwindling audiences and staff layoffs. Over 5 million cable TV subscribers cut ties in the first three quarters of the year alone, signaling a profound shift in how Americans consume news and entertainment. Networks like CNN, NBC, and Vox have been forced to reduce staff, while platforms like X have gained prominence as sources of news, bolstered by user interaction and a perception of greater control over the narrative.”

      And the Dimwits today are still fighting amongst themselves, clueless in what they’re doing and still leaderless, unless you call AOC and Bernie Sanders their new leaders.

    It is now official, President Lee Jae Myung gifts President Trump a Golden Replica of the Country’s Highest Award, “The Grand Order of Mugunghwa” President Lee Jae Myung said he was the first U.S. president to receive the honour, and he should wear his crown with pride when he gets back home, for he is truly a king in all of South Korean’s eyes.

    Isn’t that so touching? Not only was No Kings Day a bust with the fake crowds pictures, even South Korea loves President Trump.

    President Trump was presented with a golden crown by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung during a ceremony in Gyeongju on October 29, 2025.

    READ ALL ABOUT IT, BIDEN ADMINISTRATION BUSTED AGAIN FOR USING THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO GO AFTER REPUBLICANS UNDENIABLE EVIDENCE UNCOVERED READ ALL ABOUT IT, DEMOCRATS HATE THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND WHAT AMERICA STANDS FOR AS TOP SOCIALISTS FIGHT AMONG THEMSELVES FOR POWER.

    The House Judiciary Committee revealed on Tuesday that the Department of Justice under former President Joe Biden targeted over 160 Republicans for potential investigation as part of the Arctic Frost probe.

    The committee said that Arctic Frost investigators “requested $16,600 to travel to conduct more than 40 interviews” for the investigation. The Arctic Frost probe began under then-FBI Director Christopher Wray, and was later picked up by then-special counsel Jack Smith.

    “45 individuals including, Steve Bannon, Scott Perry, Rudolph Giuliani, Jeffrey Clark, John Eastman, and Mark Meadows were potentially under investigation,” the committee stated. “Another 111 individuals including Peter Navarro, Dan Scavino, Jeff Rosen, and Ed Martin were also potentially under investigation.”

    One September 2022 email, citing an unnamed source, stated that Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI) President Ed Corrigan “is pro-Putin and anti-Biden,” and that the source believes Corrigan “and his boss Mark Meadows are engaging in willful criminal activity.” The email added, “Corrigan secretly controls the freedom caucus and has plans that are not good for the FBI. Corrigan hates the FBI, who he refers to as spooks.”

    Part of the nearly 200 pages released by the committee was a declassified October 2020 “Tactical Intelligence Report that claimed “Trump Campaign Funds Layered through Clearinghouse Firm Likely Misused by Campaign Digital Director.” Another document included was titled “Subpoena_Counsel_Matrix,” which listed dozens of GOP-linked activists, government employees, campaign staffers, and more, and their alleged links to events during the 2020 election.

    Trump wrote in response to the revelation, “These thugs should all be investigated and put in prison. A disgrace to humanity. Deranged Jack Smith is a criminal!!!”

    Senator Chuck Grassley revealed earlier in October that the FBI had conducted surveillance on Republican lawmakers as part of Arctic Frost. The FBI document, dated September 27, 2023, lists agents conducting “preliminary toll analysis” on the phone records of GOP lawmakers Mike Kelly, Lindsey Graham, Bill Hagerty, Josh Hawley, Dan Sullivan, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Cynthia Lummis, and Marsha Blackburn.

    I know the magabots here don’t like it, but Biden rescued the economy, from the Covid denier don.

    Biden presided over one of the fastest economic recoveries of any President.
    Unemployment fell to one of the lowest rate in 70 years, inflation fell to near 2%, causing the Fed to raise the Fed rate. Consumer confidence rose to high levels.

    Then in 6 months, the don has reversed all of the great economic recovery to a impending recession according to Forbes, and many recognized economy forecasters.

    Facts, data matter, I know you don’t like them but do like Fox and the don’s lies.

    Repeating the GOP lies doesn’t make it true.

    The economic recovery under President Biden is noted as one of the strongest in U.S. history, with significant job creation, a low unemployment rate, and robust GDP growth that outpaced expectations following the pandemic. Key policies, such as the American Rescue Plan, played a crucial role in driving this recovery and supporting American families and businesses. home.treasury.gov UC Santa Barbara
