'GFC 2.0? Trump is taking a big risk with US’s banks…

After the 2023 regional banking crisis that saw several smaller banks fail, the Biden admin wanted to toughen prudential requirements, but didn’t act… Now, the Trump admin wants to loosen them.'

GFC 2.0? Trump is taking a big risk with America’s banks
The Donald Trump administration is close to finalising a new set of rules for its banks as it looks to turbocharge US economic growth. The consequences could be damaging.

ABSOLUTELY 💯 CORRECT.
When is EVERYBODY going to realize that FACT 🤔
Donald Trump is trying to turn America into Russia, Hungary, and North Korea. Trump wants to take away ALL of Americans 🇺🇸 rights. Human Rights, Civil Rights, and Voting 🗳 Rights. We are NOT having that nonsense. Trump must go.
Investigating critics is what authoritarians do, not democracies. A government that fears dissent will always try to criminalise it. Resisting this abuse of power isn’t partisan, it’s basic democratic self-defence.

European and Arab states should not buy what Trump is selling.

Instead, they should work together to develop and fund an alternative positive vision for Gaza’s future that ensures Palestinian political sovereignty and territorial unity remain at the forefront of rebuilding.
New @ecfr.eu by @muhammadshehada.bsky.social:

Trump’s dystopian economic plan will turn Gaza into a real-estate bonanza for oligarchs, obliterating its historic, cultural and social fabric, and herding Palestinian into heavily surveilled gated communities.
