How about all the other things that are against the law that Trump and Co. have already done. . . ?

djb100.bsky.social•6 days ago

Trump recognizes no law. Have you not understood this by now.

blossombenson.bsky.social•5 days ago

And, anyway, Trump needs Powell around so he can convince the MAGA faithful this huge f*cking mess he's making of the economy is someone else's fault. It'd look real suspicious if Trump brought in a new guy and the ship continued to sink or, worse, sunk faster. #commondenominator

Well Senator Kennedy had a suggestion, a cup of hot cocoa and a hug to make up🤣🤣🤣🤣

He didn't say "fire." He said "terminate." There's a difference.

Good

The people that know the law and are willing to learn basic economics will support Powell both morally and financially! It is time for the people to say no to Trump destroying the world order.

Jerome, I don't think he's concerned about following the law....

shriketron.bsky.social•6 days ago

They keeps using that word like it's actually being enforced while ignoring months of contrary evidence.

All our lawless president does is break laws. It’s time for impeachment and conviction.

The Stock Market Reacts To The Bully

Trump thinks he runs the Federal Reserve.
Nope. Independence must be preserved.
Trump tries to bully by insulting Powell.
The market responded — into the bowels.

sjbud.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah, you tell em’ Mr. Powell.

fairlynormalmimi.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hold fast.

hrhenviroangel.bsky.social•7 days ago

The people “in power” work for us!
They are PUBLIC SERVANTS.
They must represent the people of the country and not a political affiliation or agenda.

They work for us!

THEY DO NOT WORK FOR THE “PRESIDENT “!

He’s not and will never be a King!

mickydeenyc.bsky.social•6 days ago

One must ask, what does this do to trump’s plan to destroy America?

sewmichelleu.bsky.social•6 days ago

Good! Don't kneel to the King. We might not agree all the time, but we know Mr Powell has our best interest in all he does

wendigray.bsky.social•6 days ago

He'll just threaten him and his family. I'm surprised people who defy him are not getting horse heads in their beds or fish in newspaper packages

bishop7.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yet, he will try. Telling him no is like catnip for idiots.

sunsettweeter.bsky.social•7 days ago

Please tell us when the law has made a wits worth of difference to anything Trump has done? When you get away with a handful of bankruptcies investigations, and then for launching a coup?even for that, you get away with it Powell should check his 401(k). One or two piece about garland?

ravenna321.bsky.social•6 days ago

Never say never with these chumps in charge

paulaptb.bsky.social•5 days ago

Instead of covering this like some teenage spat, would be nice if journalists would explain, frequently, WHY Powell doesn't want to raise interest rates. Most people don't understand.
