The Powell witch-hunt is not about revenge. It’s not about monetary policy. It’s about power. As is ICE. As is Venezuela. As is the fact that he does not intend to give up power in 2028.

🧵 Thread: I doubt Trump understands micro and/or macro economics. His blathering is only about power and domination. #WakeUpAmerica #BeAngryAmerica
Just to be clear, Trump is asking here for a Fed response to positive economic indicators that could lead to hyperinflation, which is what Powell has refused to do and why Trump is targeting him.
The Trump Put: "When the market goes up, they should lower [interest] rates."

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

The evil Trump fascist MAGA GOP cult has many members in responsible government jobs for which they are completely unqualified….and this journalist’s experience encapsulates this perfectly.
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

“…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

I can't believe we are living in a world where this needs to be said, much less reported as news in the New York Times
"Mike Fox, a legal fellow at @cato.org.... said that even if Mr. Trump’s allegation that Ms. Good was a 'professional agitator' were true, that would not justify her killing.... You don’t get to kill someone because they engage in conduct that you disagree with or find distasteful or deplorable."

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.
