Didn't bend, didn't cower, didn't even feel the need to stand next to Trump grinning awkwardly like it was normal. And now he's emerged unscathed with his job and his dignity intact and his reputation even stronger than before. Huh. Seems like this could be a model for others in power.

“Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) discussed Trump’s investigation of Powell on Tuesday with Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. Cramer said he would offer Powell a deal he can’t refuse: Trump drops the investigation in exchange for Powell’s resignation.”

Wow. DOJ has launched a criminal investigation of Fed chair Jerome Powell over testimony to Congress on renovation costs. In this video, Powell says the move is purely pretextual, and arises from the Fed’s refusal to implement Trump’s wishes in place of its own best judgment on interest rates.

(WSJ: free) Chairman Powell of the Federal Reserve is one smart character. Now waiting the next two months to see what the tariffs and the economy will do over sixty days. He will protect us as much as possible. Grateful for him. www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

Speaking of economic data from the Trump Administration, on Wednesday they claimed that the GDP grew 3% in Q2 of this year, a "better than expected" report... There is absolutely no legitimate reason to believe that those numbers are real either. www.cnbc.com/2025/07/30/g...

Oh my… Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell just corrected Trump’s math on national television, live, and called out his disinformation.

Cognitive decline, or does he lie so much he can’t keep it straight? Trump in 2025: “He’s a terrible Fed chair. I was surprised he was appointed.” Trump in 2017: “It is my pleasure and my honor to announce my nomination of Jerome Powell to be the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.”

How mentally broken does he have to be? He just said publicly he frankly can't understand how Powell was nominated, and yet, he is the one who nominated him. He can't tell one year or president from the next. He isn't well. They are waiting for him in hell...

President Donald Trump told a room full of Republican lawmakers that he will fire Federal Reseve Chairman Jerome Powell, after receiving approval from them to make the move, a senior White House official told CNBC.

Dow crashes again due to Dump’s moronic economic decisions. Fed Chair says “tariffs are likely to slow growth and raise inflation.” He also pointed to a sharp decline in sentiment among consumers and businesses, as well as rising levels of uncertainty. 🤦♀️ www.investopedia.com/dow-jones-to...

EARLY MORNING TANTRUM Trump, predictably, posts an angry message about Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell after Powell told the truth about the impact of Trump’s reckless tariffs on the economy, saying his “termination cannot come fast enough.”

Why is the Fed putting the onus of fighting inflation on workers and consumers rather than on the corporations largely responsible for driving up prices — and padding profit margins?
— Robert Reich (@RBReich) March 8, 2023
This is wrong. It’s ridiculous policy. And it’s profoundly unfair.
Stop raising rates.
The underlying problem is not wage-price inflation.
— Robert Reich (@RBReich) September 25, 2022
It’s profit-price inflation.
The Fed’s rate hikes will hurt average workers by slowing the economy — making it harder for workers to get wage increases and causing many to lose their jobs.
feel like it should be a bigger story that the Federal Reserve - led by a registered Republican first appointed by Trump - is manufacturing a recession
