      Yes, the Fed. As in “an informal identifier being used as a metonymy for the executive branch of the Federal Government”. It’s not exclusively used to refer to the Federal Reserve.

        Oh.

        Generally that’s “the Feds”. “The Fed” pretty much only ever applies to the Federal Reserve.
