Just saw this from Josh Marshall at TPM:
President Barack Obama will nominate Janet Yellen as the next chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve on Wednesday, the White House announced in a statement.

Janet Yellen will be the first woman to chair the Fed, the first Democrat in almost 30 years and also, the first former Vice Chair.
Some good news for a change!
Now, if we can just get the Republicans to confirm her before they finish destroying the government.
