Janet Yellen is 'bluffing' about the government running out of money by early June, economist Danielle DiMartino Booth says

Janet Yellen was 'bluffing' when she said the US government could be out of money and unable pay its debts by June 1 if Congress doesn't agree to raise the federal borrowing limit, according to economist Danielle DiMartino Booth.
The so-called X-date - when the Treasury will be out of cash - is further away that Yellen suggests, and will likely come only after June, according to the CEO and chief strategist at Quill Intelligence, who was a former advisor at the Dallas Fed.
"The X-date is not in June. Yellen is bluffing (which is her J.O.B)," DiMartino Booth said in a tweet on Tuesday. She was responding to an analysis by another Twitter user, who projected the date to most likely come after June.
Yellen has repeatedly urged lawmakers to act on the borrowing limit - and warned that failing to raise the debt ceiling in time could result in a "catastrophe" for the US economy. She reiterated that concern in a new letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy Monday.
"With additional information now available, I am writing to note that we still estimate that Treasury will likely no longer be able to satisfy all of the government's obligations if Congress has not acted to raise or suspend the debt limit by early June, and potentially as early as June 1," Yellen said in the letter.
"The actual date Treasury exhausts extraordinary measures could be a number of days or weeks later than these estimates," the Treasury Secretary said, adding that these estimates are based on data, federal receipts, and outlays that could vary from the debt.
Hours before Yellen renewed her warning to McCarthy, the speaker was nowhere close to confident with the way the negotiations have been progressing. "It doesn't seem to me yet they want a deal, it just seems like they want to look like they are in a meeting but they aren't talking anything serious," McCarthy said.
Last week, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected that there is "significant risk" the US could default in the first two weeks of June if the debt ceiling is not raised by then. Meanwhile, Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody's Analytics, previously told Insider that his projected X-date falls on June 8, with a best-case scenario of August 8.

TIKTOK: CHINESE “TROJAN HORSE” IS RUN BY STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS
https://www.mintpressnews.com/tiktok-chinese-trojan-horse-run-by-state-department-officials/284353/
Amid a national hysteria claiming the popular video-sharing app is a Chinese Trojan Horse, a MintPress News investigation has found dozens of ex-U.S. State Department officials working in key positions at TikTok. Many more individuals with backgrounds in the FBI, CIA and other departments of the national security state also hold influential posts at the social media giant, affecting the content that over one billion users see.
While American politicians demand the app be banned on national security grounds, try to force through an internet surveillance act that would turn the country into an Orwellian state, make clueless statements about how TikTok is dangerous because it connects to your Wi-Fi, it is possible that TikTok is already much closer to Washington than it is to Beijing.

May 17, 2023
This evening, Rep. Luna filed a resolution, H. Res. 412, to expel Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) from the United States House of Representatives.
“Adam Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intelligence to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars and abused the trust placed in him as Chairman. He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives,” Rep. Luna stated.
“The Durham Report makes clear that the Russian Collusion was a lie from day one and Schiff knowingly used his position in an attempt to divide our country.”

Adam Schiff Panics, Begs for Donations After Rep. Luna Files Resolution Calling for EXPULSION from Congress
BY JACK MONTGOMERY MAY 18, 2023
Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has introduced a resolution to expel her colleague Rep. Adam Schiff from Congress under Article I of the Constitution, for his role in the now debunked Trump-Russia collusion hoax.
Rep. Luna believes the California Democrat should be punished under Article I, Section 5, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which stipulates that the House of Representatives may “punish its Members for disorderly Behavior, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.”

“Knowingly using your position on House Intel [the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence] to push a lie that ripped apart our country, cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and authorized spying on a US President and then proceeding to double down on the lie within days of the Durham report coming out makes you unfit for office,” the Florida Republican said of Schiff’s conduct on her Twitter account.
A statement posted on her official Congressional account was no less robust, declaring: “Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intel to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars.” “He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives,” she added.
Shifty Schiff.
Schiff, dubbed ‘Shifty Schiff’ by Donald Trump, was a leading manager of the failed impeachment efforts against the former president, and has alleged Special Counsel John Durham’s recently published report on the Trump-Russia investigation was “flawed”.

He also sent a panicked tweet and a subsequent reply to himself, begging for donations, following Rep. Luna’s resolution:

Special Counsel Durham found the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DoJ) badly mishandled the affair, lacking sufficient evidence to begin the probe in the first place and appearing to suffer from strong “confirmation bias”.
Indeed, the report revealed that the FBI’s evidence was so thin that their British counterparts believed they were holding evidence back from them, and grew so unimpressed with the investigation that they told their American counterparts “there was no [f**king] way in hell” they would assist it.
