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.”

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.

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.

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 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.
