Investor unease is reportedly mounting as President Donald Trump’s escalating interference in Federal Reserve affairs sends ripples through financial markets.

President Donald Trump's continued references to himself as a dictator and the silence from Republicans stunned one prominent political analyst.

Progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen said on a recent episode of his show "No Lies" that Trump's repeated references to himself as a dictator reveal that he is trying to normalize the idea in the minds of Americans. Cohen was aghast that Republicans appear to be implicitly condoning Trump's comments by choosing not to speak out against the remarks.

A Maryland immigrant appeared again this week as Immigration and Customs Enforcement attempted to deport him to a third-party country. That ultimately turned into a stunning rebuke of the Justice Department by a conservative judge.

Kilmar Ábrego García has faced off against the U.S. government since March, when he was mistakenly sent to a brutal prison in El Salvador. Despite court demands to return him, the government dragged its feet until it decided it could charge him with a felony and allege he was part of an organized crime syndicate. The judge in that case ultimately granted bail for Ábrego, only to have ICE snatch him when he showed up for a check-in.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he wants to bring the death penalty back to Washington, D.C., where capital punishment has been outlawed for more than 40 years.

A prominent economist bashed President Donald Trump's attempts to fire a Federal Reserve governor on Tuesday.

Paul Krugman, who won the Nobel Prize in 2008 for his work on trade theory, discussed Trump's efforts to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve with CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead." Krugman said Trump has presented "no evidence" that Cook did anything that would warrant her being removed from her job for cause, as he's claimed, and that the move itself is "completely insane."

The New York Times editorial board attacked the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday for enabling President Donald Trump, leading to the moment of his firing a Federal Reserve governor after one of his appointees posted an allegation about her on X.

Bill Pulte, Trump's director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, claimed to look up the mortgage information of Lisa Cook, President Joe Biden's appointee to the Federal Reserve. He then posted that she broke the law by claiming two places as a primary residence. Cook hasn't been charged with a crime nor has she been convicted of anything, but Trump announced she was fired.

A former Treasury Department official on Tuesday pushed back against President Donald Trump's attempts to fire one of the Federal Reserve governors.

Lawrence Summers, who was the Treasury Secretary during the Clinton administration, discussed Trump's attempt to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve. Trump has claimed that allegations of mortgage fraud against Cook give him sufficient cause to fire her. Cook has denied all wrongdoing, and her lawyer has suggested that Trump doesn't have the authority to fire her.

The Trump administration just betrayed the victims of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking crimes, a legal expert said in a new report.

President Donald Trump recently released the transcripts of interviews Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted with Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. The move was meant to placate the growing discontent within the MAGA base over the release of the Epstein files, but one expert suggests that it was really a betrayal of the victims.

President Donald Trump announced he's going after one of the governors of the Federal Reserve after charges were "manufactured" for him by William Pulte, who was appointed to run the Federal Housing Finance Agency, noted New Republic staff writer Greg Sargent.

Writing Tuesday, Sargent explained that the "staunch Trump loyalist" trumped up allegations that Fed governor Lisa Cook "fraudulently declared several principal or primary residences for mortgage purposes." Cook hasn't been charged with a crime or found guilty. Thus far, it's nothing more than a post on X from Pulte, who has no previous experience in the mortgage industry.

The Trump administration, with the help of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is targeting a long list of federal government agencies for mass layoffs — from the Social Security Administration (SSA) to the National Weather Service (NWS) to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA). And Trump has contemplated eliminating the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) altogether — an idea that drew scathing criticism when areas of Central Texas were rocked by deadly floods over the 4th of July weekend.

But one agency that clearly isn't being defunded is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). President Donald Trump's so-called "big, beautiful bill" contains $75 billion set aside for ICE during a four-year period.
