Post image In a blistering 27-page decision unsealed on Friday, the judge, James E. Boasberg, derided the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, led by the Trump loyalist Jeanine Pirro, for pursuing a case against Mr. Powell when it appeared that the only reason prosecutors had to do so was President Trump’s desire to seek vengeance against the Fed chair. Mr. Powell has long resisted calls from the White House to adjust interest rates for political reasons.

“There is abundant evidence that the subpoenas’ dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell either to yield to the president or to resign and make way for a Fed Chair who will,” Judge Boasberg wrote. “On the other side of the scale, the government has offered no evidence whatsoever that Powell committed any crime other than displeasing the president.”

The investigation into Mr. Powell began late last year when Ms. Pirro’s office served two subpoenas on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, seeking records about recent renovations of the board’s buildings and testimony that Powell delivered to Congress that briefly discussed those renovations, Judge Boasberg wrote. The board moved in response to quash the subpoenas, he went on, arguing that they were “merely part of the game plan to pressure Powell to bend to the president’s wishes or to get rid of him.”

The investigation represents one of the most aggressive attempts by the administration to pressure the Fed into lowering borrowing costs. The criminal inquiry prompted a rare rebuke from not only Mr. Powell but lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle, who accused the administration of trying to encroach on the institution’s longstanding political independence.

In an extraordinary video message after Mr. Powell was sent the subpoenas, the Fed chair called out Mr. Trump directly, saying that “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,…

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

This is hard to watch.

ICE and Police are still stirring up shit. Now in Vermont, they threw small women around, shot pepper balls willy-nilly, tossed flash grenades, smoke bombs, and even ran over protesters with SUVs, parking on them, and then just drove the fuck on.

Watching trump defile institutions, fuel wars, empower Russia, trash the climate & shrug off the Epstein shadow is infuriating.

Normal resistance feels like sweeping back the ocean's tide. If something catastrophic, like $250 oil, breaks his grip, I'm ready to hurt a little to see his reign end.

Mike Johnson declines to condemn Republicans’ anti-Muslim remarks The speaker suggested his members meant to decry “Sharia law,” not the Muslim faith.

Mike Johnson will not condemn Republican Reps Randy Fine and Andy Ogles anti-muslim rhetoric because he’s just as big of a racist and bigot as they are. No one is trying to impose Sharia law! Anyone who believes that is just as stupid and Islamophobic as they are.

Your friendly reminder from Kevin Walling that every Democrat in the House voted for National Voter ID included in the Freedom to Vote Act. Not one Republican voted for it. The SAVE Act isn’t about Voter ID, it’s a voter suppression bill to help rig the midterms for Republicans.

WTF! This is deliberate misogyny: using AI to suppress the economic power of educated women bc they vote Democratic while boosting working-class men in jobs AI can't easily replace. It's misogyny, disturbing, & fascist! We see it & are calling it out. None of us, including men should stand for it!

We’re not talking enough about what’s happening in Vermont. There’s no excuse for this brutality. None. Law enforcement has a right to do their job, but their job is to de-escalate, not assault people.
