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.

The total capture of the DOJ, seemingly with very little pushback or resistance, is one of the most striking examples of the capitulation of American elites in the face of authoritarianism. It’s been less than a year, and federal prosecutions or investigations are already completely discredited.
This is just one more example of a much broader pattern: The Department of Justice targeting Trump's political enemies with made-up accusations of wrong-doing.

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.

POWELL: “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President.”

He has the gaul to claim 'cost overruns' in a renovation that's not Powell's to do, while he tore down the East Wing and ignored an actual commission? He's trying to be funny, right?

Whatever you think of Powell’s interest rate policies, this is a highly commendable move. Standing up to a tinpot president. Putting some of the business community to shame.

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."

The reason so many ICE agents are willing to break the law is that their leaders have created a permission and protection structure for doing so. ICE is killing & kidnapping citizens because the Republican Party has given them the green light. If you break the law the president will just pardon you!
Another US citizen being abducted.
She then escapes, and they nab her again.
How many more of these scenes can we watch?
This isn't immigration control.
It is state-sponsored kidnapping.

"Under the 'Compromise Scenario', Denmark would agree to give Trump full military access to Greenland and deny access to Russia and China."
This is the status quo. We've had it since before Trump was born. It's the most open-ended "put whatever you want here" deal we have for any foreign territory.

This is such a bad faith misreading. Smith carefully cabined the point to lies "made to target a lawful government function." It's the totally mundane point that you can't claim First Amendment protection for perjury, or lying on your tax returns, etc. It's not about policing political rhetoric.

They want it formally dead, but NATO is already functionally dead as a geopolitical reality. Even if he backs down (wouldn't bet on it), there's no going back from sending European capitals into a spiraling panic that the US is seriously about to invade one of them. You can't unring that bell.

If you think it’s ludicrous to even consider that the US might invade Greenland and this is just another of Trump’s idiotic wet dreams
You should know he wants to increase the military budget-which already greatly exceeds every other country in the world-from $900 billion to $1.5 trillion
