The president of the United States is extorting the Federal Reserve Board Chairman by threatening criminal prosecution if he doesn't lower interest rates.
DOJ is compromised, legacy media is cowed and Big Law is AWOL. As I wrote last year: "We are on our own."

How long will Thune/Hill Rs keep defending the indefensible?
Last week Hill Rs broke w/Trump repeatedly. Can they defend him on Powell, Greenland/NATO, ICE’s lawlessness, inventing a law capping credit card fees, declaring himself President of VZ? Big week in DC.

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."

Donald Trump wants the Fed to cut interest rates
So he directed Pam Bondi to file subpoenas so they could threaten Jerome Powell with possible criminal charges unless he does what Trump wants
Government by extortion to force policy decisions that will hurt the US

Kamlager-Dove: Nobody said that about the January 6ers, did they? So, they didn’t comply. You know what they got for not complying with the law? A pardon from Trump. And dozens of them have gone out to commit additional crimes. So, I am so sick of the hypocrisy and the bullshit.

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.”

They hate Minnesota because we are a people who believe that "we all do better when we all do better."
Minnesota is one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest states in the country *because* of our openness and generosity.

Tom Homan has been saying the exact same thing for a year: If people continue to exercise free speech against state power, they will be responsible for the subsequent violence visited against them by the state
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."
