Will Wall Street control the key subcabinet jobs? The early signs are not encouraging.

Elizabeth Warren now supports Blackrock executive Adewale Adeyemo for the deputy Treasury slot.

Ladies and gentlemen, the progressives!https://t.co/iLKpAzkwFZ

some comments of interest in reply to Matt Stoller's tweet of Kuttner's American Prospect article:

Elizabeth Warren is not a leftist. Once you understand and acknowledge this, it becomes easier to make sense of her decisionmaking.

Or she is and leftists are just the same thing as neoliberal Democrats.

Also: Elizabeth. Warren. Owes. You. Nothing.

Sorry but Elizabeth "registered republican most of my life" Warren is only progressive when when comparing to the the corporate Dems which are pretty much moderate republicans

He worked at Blackrock!?! He must be both evil and corrupt!!! Keep the killer burns coming Matt!

Elizabeth Warren purposely hired people from finance to run CFPB because she distrusted people in government at the time. Understandable reasoning but I wonder if she would ever acknowledge any of those hires, many of whom passed through the revolving door, were in error https://t.co/1AY4DVIjnE

Biden-Harris Presidential Transition account just retweeted these:

We face great challenges as a country right now. To recover, we must restore the American dream—a society where each person can rise to their potential and dream even bigger for their children.

As Treasury Secretary, I will work every day towards rebuilding that dream for all.
— Janet Yellen (@JanetYellen) November 30, 2020

I am focused on the task ahead. This job is about advising the President on how to rebuild and revive our economy. The planning for a fairer economy, grounded in facts and evidence, begins now.

I’m proud to be nominated as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers.

Public service is about offering hope through the dark times and making sure that our economy works not just for the wealthy, but for the hard-working people who make it run.

As Deputy Treasury Secretary, I look forward to helping us build back our economy better.
— Wally Adeyemo (@wallyadeyemo) November 30, 2020

My life's work has been centered on ensuring our families and work are properly valued within our economy.

I’m excited to bring that perspective as a CEA member. We have an opportunity to rethink how we invest in people, and we need to seize it as we rebuild our economy.
— Heather Boushey (@HBoushey) November 30, 2020

and here is the tweet and link announcing the full team

This crisis-tested team will help lift America out of our current economic downturn and build back better—creating an economy that gives every single American a fair shot and an equal chance to get ahead. https://t.co/F6JMBHUgVx

I wish I thought this really was an area of "bipartisan agreement". But everything I've seen says that the modern GOP is objectively on the side of wealthy tax cheats. https://t.co/nObUKCagrw

Hope you’re right. https://t.co/io7zegYWKJ

Come on — could you imagine either of them coming up with a cubic model predicting zero Covid deaths by mid-April? https://t.co/uH9XKslo1X

Personal flashback right now. Jared Bernstein used to blog on TPM Cafe and he was always happy to converse with us peanut gallery commenting on his posts, just a regular guy style.
