News Brief
On January 30th, PANews reported that Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren voiced deep concerns regarding Trump's pick of Warsh for Federal Reserve Chair. Serving as the Senate Banking Committee's leading Democrat, Warren questioned Warsh's ability to lead the Fed free from White House interference. She noted that Trump has clearly stated anyone disagreeing with him won't secure the position. Moreover, Warren believes Warsh—who prioritized Wall Street interests over millions of unemployed Americans following the 2008 financial crisis—has evidently satisfied Trump's loyalty requirements. Therefore, Warren urged Republicans to delay Warsh's confirmation until the Justice Department concludes its investigation into current Fed Chair Powell. In her view, any Republican genuinely committed to the Fed's independence should reject advancing this nomination while Trump pursues his political vendetta against Powell and Governor Lisa Cook.

PANews reported on January 30th that Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren expressed several concerns on Friday regarding Trump's decision to nominate Warsh. As the ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking Committee (and the first hurdle in Warsh's confirmation process), Warren questioned whether Warsh could lead the Federal Reserve without White House influence. "Trump has stated that anyone who disagrees with him cannot become Chairman of the Federal Reserve," Warren said in a statement. "Former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh—who was more concerned with helping Wall Street than with millions of unemployed Americans after the 2008 financial crisis—has clearly passed the loyalty test."

Warren called on Republicans to hold off on nominating Warsh until the Justice Department concludes its investigation into current Fed Chair Powell. “Any Republican who claims to care about the Fed’s independence should refuse to proceed with this nomination until Trump stops his ‘political witch hunt’ against current Fed Chair and Governor Lisa Cook,” she said.

Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth

The post Slate Milk Raises $23 Million Series B Round To Bolster Protein Drink’s Rapid Growth appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Slate Classic Chocolate milk shake Slate A new slate of functional beverages is about to dominate the ready-to-drink shelf, ushering in a more modern era of easily incorporating more protein in our diets. Today, Slate Milk cofounders Manny Lubin and Josh Belinsky reveal the brand has raised a $23 million Series B funding round. Led by Foundership, a new fund by Yasso frozen greek yogurt cofounders Drew Harrington and Amanda Klane, the money will allow Slate to continue its momentum towards ubiquity as it hits 100,000 points of distribution across 20,000 stores nationwide by the end of 2025. Slate also reveals that it is rolling out several line extensions including a 20 gram protein Strawberry milk at Sprouts Farmers Market, a 30 gram protein Cookies & Cream milk at Target, and a 30 gram protein Salted Caramel flavor at Walmart and Albertsons banner stores. New “Ultra” 42 gram protein options in Chocolate, Vanilla and Salted Caramel will also be available in retailers across the country. “Stores where we may have just had our ready-to-drink lattes, now we’re adding our shakes, and vice versa. We’re adding new partners and executing deeper with our existing partners,” Lubin tells me. The impressive growth is due to Slate’s early entry into the high-protein product space slightly before it caught mainstream attention–ready to execute immediately once consumers craved it most. Slate’s macronutrient ratios are practically unbeatable, largely due to the utilization of ultra-filtered milk. It’s a protein drink that writes a new script about who protein drinks are for. “We’re not sons of dairy farmers. We had no milk history,” Lubin says “We’re just a couple of dudes from the burbs of Boston who like chocolate milk.” Slate cofounder Manny Lubin Slate Another Clean Slate Slate’s brand has evolved significantly in just the past six…
