Alpha Opportunity
Alpha Thesis
We REVISE to 88% (from 82%) for Warsh confirmation. Nominated Jan 2026, sent to Senate Mar 4. BUT: Senator Tillis (R) is blocking until DOJ Powell investigation resolves. A judge dismissed the DOJ subpoenas, complicating the timeline. However, a survey of Hill staffers says most believe Warsh will ultimately be confirmed. The block is political leverage, not principled opposition.
