Congratulations to all the bankers, hedge-fund managers, private-equity honchos, tech titans, corporate executives and op-ed writers for backing the man who will do more to undermine the system that made them insanely wealthy than any other presidential candidate in their lifetimes.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said the US central bank had been served grand jury subpoenas from the Justice Department threatening a criminal indictment, a dramatic escalation of the Trump administration’s attacks on the Fed.

ICE weaponizing a vehicle is perfectly legal, but when you don’t weaponize your vehicle - you’ve illegally weaponized your vehicle.

How long will Thune/Hill Rs keep defending the indefensible?
Last week Hill Rs broke w/Trump repeatedly. Can they defend him on Powell, Greenland/NATO, ICE’s lawlessness, inventing a law capping credit card fees, declaring himself President of VZ? Big week in DC.

Q: " What happens if the credit card companies don't comply by the January date [for 10% interest rate caps]?"
Trump: " Then they're in violation of the law. Very severe things."

Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

I got extremely up close with a bunch of them earlier and they looked miserable. One was visibly shaking. Every single time they get out of their vehicles it's a madhouse, in a city where every person is their enemy. They're outnumbered 100-1 by people screaming at them in almost incoherent rage
that's not the face of an angry or scary guy that guy is on the verge of tears

With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.
