Were Trump to succeed in his quest to get rid of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, the result would be chaos in the markets, James Surowiecki argues. “That would very likely lead to higher interest rates, which is the exact opposite of the outcome he wants.”
Why We Should Care About Jerome Powell’s Job Security
Trump wants to get rid of the Fed chair—if the markets will let him. We all have to hope he won’t gamble on that.

More millions of taxpayer money going down the drain because Trump is going golfing again this coming weekend at his Bedminister, NJ club. How do I know? The FAA has issued a NOTAM that there will be a 30-nautical mile radius Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over the area.

There is no one on Earth, Chinese or non-Chinese, who has experience in that country and thinks that Trump has **ANY IDEA** what he is doing.

It's like watching a baby on a freeway.
Not going to happen, Xi is incapable of keeping his promises even one’s made to Trump.

• 50 years autonomy in Hong Kong promised by CCP, Xi broke
• Rose Garden to stop hacking
• Rose Garden not to militarize islands
• Trump’s “Phase One” in first term

In what is shaping up to be a huge day for democracy in the lower federal courts, at least, Judge Chutkan rules that the case against DOGE can proceed.

A military parade in Washington for the President’s birthday is a misuse of taxpayer funds and an abuse of power by the commander in chief. This comes at the same time that the GOP are pushing through tax cuts for the rich on the backs of Medicaid, SNAP and Medicare cuts for working class Americans.

“It took 75 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency for voters to hit the streets en masse. Millions of people showed up this weekend for more than 1,200 anti-Trump demonstrations—all of them peaceful—throughout all 50 states, from Alaska to Alabama to Arizona.”

New: New wave of terminations today at FDA. People arrived this morning and found out while waiting in line to go through security that they no longer worked there. A common pattern with DOGE: planning to maximize humiliation/disrespect.

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

It's just a TRO but it's a big win for Perkins Coie, the legal profession, the rule of law, & democracy. The Judge rules presidents can't use the power of the presidency to conduct a personal vendettas that strike at the heart of lawyers' ability to represent clients, no matter who they are.
Judge Howell, ruling from the bench, will issue a TRO to keep the status quo in place and prevent Trump from enforcing his EO attack on the law firm of Perkins Coie while she has time to consider the issues.

All members of Congress swore oaths to defend the right to speak freely and assemble to petition for the redress of grievances. Why did so few of them sign this important letter?
