The Federal Reserve Board of Governors has gotten a lot of attention lately — President Trump is attempting to remove one member and has nominated another. But there’s more under the central bank umbrella than president-appointed officials. In this episode, we break down why regional Fed banks and Fed presidents matter. Plus: The latest Beige book shows an uptick in lending, shipping costs are down and an economist walks us through her process for reading a CPI report.

Today on The Gist: It’s Not Even Mad. Mike Pesca welcomes Galen Druke and Josh Barrow for a sharp yet civil debate on Trump’s immigration strategy, crime, and the charge of creeping autocracy. They weigh whether cruelty brings Trump political advantage, how Democrats should frame their response, and what “autocracy makes you poor” really means for voters. Plus, Mike spotlights where polls mislead, why midterms punish incumbents, and why branding matters as much as policy. Come See Mike Pesca at Open Debate

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced a scathing line of questioning from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers in the Senate on Thursday.
Kennedy is a vaccine skeptic and is using his position as Secretary of Health and Human Services to radically change vaccine policy.
In recent weeks, there have been a number of public health officials who have resigned or been fired, creating chaos at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other health agencies.
Federal employees are also speaking out, including more than 1,000 former and current HHS employees who penned a letter urging Kennedy to resign.

Tributes have been paid to the legendary Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani. We speak to Lady Helen Taylor, a cousin of Queen Elizabeth, who in the 1980s and 90s became something of a muse to the designer and a brand ambassador, wearing his clothes when she was on royal duties.
Also today: Some fiery exchanges in the US Congress as health secretary RFK Junior defends his ideas about vaccines; and the elderly women diving into murky lakes looking for trash.
