Every former living Fed Chair (Bernanke, Greenspan, Yellen) Bipartisan former Treasury Secretaries (Geithner, Paulson, others) Bipartisan former CEA Chairs (Hubbard, Mankiw, Romer--and me) This is not a difficult or controversial issue. The attack on Powell is dangerous.
Former Fed chairs and Treasury secretaries put out a statement on Monday defending Powell after the Justice Department opened up a criminal investigation of the chair, likening the move to what happens in emerging markets https://t.co/KoZw1NZW5e

Tomorrow is Kristi Noem’s deadline to give House Democrats unedited bodycam footage from the Minneapolis ICE shooting and other evidence. The Trump administration is lying to our faces. We’ll keep fighting for justice.

Trump wants to nominate a new Fed Chair AND push Powell off the Board for good to complete his corrupt takeover of our central bank. He is abusing the law like a wannabe dictator so the Fed serves him and his billionaire friends. The Senate must not move ANY Trump Fed nominee.

Trump changed the definition of “domestic terrorism,” to make any opposition to him, terrorism. Trump’s NSPM-7 directive allows federal agencies to investigate you as a domestic terrorist for any anti-Trump, and pro-immigrant speech — even if you haven’t been accused of a crime.
WELKER: Noem called it an "act of domestic terrorism." What's the evidence for that allegation? HOMAN: If they didn't have sanctuary policies-- WELKER: To be clear, is anyone who protests ICE a domestic terrorist? HOMAN: It's a case by case basis. If you look at the definition

This is absolutely terrifying. This is the chair of the Federal Reserve telling the American people they cannot trust the current administration and that fed rates will essentially just be made up numbers based on NOTHING by the regime. They’re gonna tank the economy on purpose

Hard to overstate what a remarkable statement this is from a Republican senator — even a retiring one — accusing thte Trump White House of weaponizing DOJ to control the Fed: "It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

Your daily reminder that the Trump administration was required by a veto-proof law it signed to release all of the Epstein Files last month, and so far has released just zero point six percent (0.6%) of those files.

Pro Trump Supporter Bari Weiss is in charge of CBS News. This CBS story was not aired on TV. Here is the segment.
So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨). At least it’s online. Reshare. https://t.co/DXins5vks7

His Mother could barely stand tonight at his vigil. He was a girl dad. He was a friend to many. He was a Black Man and an American citizen. ICE killed him on New Year’s Eve in LA. His name was Keith Porter 🕊️

Not releasing the Epstein files is the biggest cover-up in Presidential history. Trump is willing to start wars, risk American lives, create any catastrophe, rip the country apart, just to hide the files. Whatever you think Trump did with Epstein, it's worse. Much worse.
99 percent of the Epstein files are just sitting at the DOJ. There is no question that this is a White House cover-up. The work is not stopping. We are fighting every single day, and we WILL get the files released to the public.

ICE just reported its fourth in-custody death of 2026. It’s only January 10. No news outlets have reported on this yet.
