Fed source to me: “It’s like a bank heist and the bank is America. Not really being hyperbolic to say control of those systems would allow an extremely fast collapse of the economy. Imagine it’s a plumbing system and someone takes a sledgehammer to the central pipe.”

Petro’s stance that immigrants, even if illegal, are human beings and must be treated with respect and dignity - underscores a simple truth: all leaders, even the most powerful ones, are accountable to the same ethical principles, whether they feel beholden to them or not.
