President Donald Trump spent Wednesday refuting reports he plans to imminently fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The president has been complaining about him for months, accusing Powell of unnecessarily keeping interest rates high. But Trump's frustrations seemed to reach a new peak this week amid reports he had a letter drafted to oust the man he appointed to the job back in 2017, then asked a group of House Republicans whether he should do it. Firing Powell would undermine the Federal Reserve's independence. It's also potentially illegal. Bloomberg Senior Editor and friend of the pod Stacey Vanek Smith stops by to talk about interest rates, inflation risks, and Trump's very focused campaign of loathing against Powell.And in headlines: Vice President J.D. Vance hit the road to put some proverbial lipstick on Trump's pig of a new tax and spending law, the Trump administration deported five migrants to the small African nation of Eswatini, and the senior vice president of PBS Kids says the network will have to scale back new programing if Congress lets Trump claw back funding.Show Notes:Check out Stacey's work – x.com/svaneksmith?lang=enCall Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

The Department of Education is about to get a whole lot smaller, following a Supreme Court ruling this week that the Trump administration can move forward with its mass layoffs plan. President Trump acknowledged the ruling as a tentative victory for education in America; however, the campaign to end the Education Department will still need authorization from Congress. In her interview with the Rundown, U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon directly addresses the concerns she has heard about ending the department and advocates for why the process could yield a better education system that works for all Americans. While the housing market has slowed in many areas, it remains unaffordable for numerous Americans, particularly first-time buyers. The average age of home buyers is now thirty-eight, as the high costs of homeownership and rising mortgage rates have deterred younger individuals from entering the market. Charles Payne, host of 'Making Money' on FOX Business, joins the podcast to discuss why housing is so unaffordable for young adults and how the Federal Reserve's decisions are negatively impacting middle- and low-income individuals.

The Senate voted to claw back $1.1 billion that Congress allocated for public broadcasting. That is expected to decimate particularly rural public radio stations.

While President Trump was successful in passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, he did so by only a narrow margin, an emerging pattern representative of a divided Congress. For Co-Chairs of the Problem Solvers Caucus, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY), the problem doesn't lie with President Trump's ideas, but rather with the lack of room for compromise.   The Congressmen discuss what they do and don't support about President Trump's agenda, how the DOJ's handling of the Epstein case might affect midterms, and what message Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign sends to the rest of the Democratic party.

//The Wire//2000Z July 17, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: TENSIONS CONTINUE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AMID RENEWED TARGETING IN GAZA AND WEST BANK. CONGRESS WEIGHS IMMIGRATION AMNESTY BILL.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Gaza: The war continues as before amid Israeli forces conducting the high-profile targeting of a Christian Church. The Holy Family Church in Gaza City was struck with a tank shell overnight, which resulted in 3x parishioners being killed and many people inside being wounded, including the parish Priest Fr. Gabriel Romanelli.Analyst Comment: This attack comes after weeks of increased violence on Christian Churches in the West Bank, as Israeli settlers have conducted arson attacks on Churches throughout the region as recently as two days ago. This also comes two years after another high-profile Church bombing, in which the IDF targeted a site adjacent to the Church of St. Porphyrius a few days after the war began in October, 2023. That strike killed over a dozen people, and the Church was heavily damaged during the strike.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - In Congress, Rep. María Elvira Salazar introduced the "Dignity Act" on Tuesday, an immigration reform bill which seeks to grant amnesty to "long-term immigrants" via new work programs. Separately, in the Senate, Bill 225 has been introduced as the End Unaccountable Amnesty Act, which seeks to remove the ability for the DHS to grant immigrants Temporary Protected Status (TPS), as well as allow the deportation of unaccompanied minors that were dropped off at the border.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Washington, rumors are growing pertaining to the strikes in Iran a few weeks ago. In short, grumblings are beginning to emerge that indicate the airstrikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were not as effective as first touted. Both American and Israeli media outlets have been trying to float this story for a few days, of course citing the usual "unnamed sources" that can't be verified in any way. Whether or not this information is true is largely immaterial when it comes to the potential for this whole affair to kick off again. Right now, there aren't many indicators suggesting the US is interested in escalating things again. However, with strong domestic dissent regarding the handling of issues such as the Epstein scandal, the motivation for diversionary actions is quite high. This consideration, while certainly out on a limb at the moment, is still worth remembering as there might not be much notice of impending escalations with any of the global conflicts currently on the table.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Florida Representative María Salazar --whose parents were foreigners to America, and who still maintains her bonds to her non-American heritage by spelling "María" in the Spanish fashion using the "acento ortográfico" over the "i"—is leading a group of RINO GOP traitors in pushing her “Dignity Act” that would grant mass amnesty to millions of illegal migrant third-world invaders of our nation. In effect, María would have us extend "dignity" to illegal migrant third-world invaders who broke into our nation against our will and laws, and now demand to stay, with a fast-track to American citizenship—and the interim a status as a sub-class of menial laborers ineligible for full participation in American society.In other words, she's advocating for an illegal migrant apartheid in America.And this is GOOD news. Why? Because these RINO GOP traitors to our nation are exposing themselves to public view. In a nation where our own LEGAL immigrants are overwhelmingly in favor of deporting the 100 million illegal migrant third-world invaders in our nation, including deporting all the unlawfulness, gangs, drugs, violent crime, and consumption of billions of dollars of scarce American resources—including housing, healthcare, employment, education, and more—MAGA is perfectly equipped to politically excise GOP RINO politicians like María Salazar from Congress. Indeed, given that María Salazar is in a congressional district that is R +20, in the area of south Miami, her traitorous proposed legislation perfectly opens the door for virtually ANYBODY on the right to primary against her and win easily. The #1 guide for understanding when using force to protect yourself is legal.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Jo sits down with Senator Angus King—Maine's straight-shooting Independent and connoisseur of constitutional reality checks—for a conversation that blows the lid off Washington's latest “power of the purse” giveaway. From Congress rolling over on the Rescissions Act (“one more building block in the edifice of authoritarianism”) to the boneheaded crusade against PBS, NPR, and USAID, Senator King calls out the dangerous shift: lawmakers too scared to do their jobs, too eager to hand the President a blank check.They break down why these budget “rescissions” aren't about fraud or waste—they're about ideology and giving the executive free rein to decide what gets funded, what gets axed, and whose voices and lives are on the chopping block. If you want a sanity check on what the Founders actually intended, and why the final line of defense is still us, this is the alarm bell you can't afford to sleep through.Subscribe and Follow Jo:https://linktr.ee/jojofromjerz Hosted on Acast.

In a dramatic turning point for fiscal and cultural policy, Congress enacts a $9.4 billion rescission—the first since 1999—eliminating funds for NPR, USAID, and unused climate and COVID programs. Simultaneously, two prominent transgender clinics announce closure, and California's high-speed rail project faces defunding. Conservative commentators hail these events as victories for Trump's America First agenda and the beginning of a deep-state rollback. Critics warn the moves are politically charged and harmful to vulnerable communities, but for many on the right, the reckoning has only just begun.

In a groundbreaking legislative move, Congress has passed a $9.4 billion rescission package—the first since 1999—cutting funds to NPR, foreign aid programs, and climate initiatives. Championed by Senate Republicans and backed by Donald Trump, the bill reclaims unspent COVID and infrastructure funds while sending a strong message about spending restraint and America First values. While critics call the cuts symbolic, conservative lawmakers view this as the start of a broader rollback of what they consider wasteful government spending.

In a landmark vote, Congress passed a $9.4 billion rescission package—the first of its kind in 25 years—eliminating funds for NPR, foreign aid, and left-leaning initiatives. Championed by Senate Republicans and encouraged by former President Trump, the measure reclaims unused pandemic and climate funds while signaling a new era of fiscal discipline. Conservatives call it a win for taxpayers and America First values, while critics warn of political retribution and symbolic cuts. As Speaker Mike Johnson prepares for more rollbacks, the fight over the federal budget is just beginning.

For the first time in a quarter-century, Congress passed a sweeping $9.4 billion rescission package, marking a pivotal shift toward fiscal conservatism. With support from Senate Republicans and former President Trump, the bill eliminates funding for NPR, foreign aid, and climate programs, reclaiming unused pandemic and infrastructure funds. Touted by conservatives as a blow to bloated bureaucracy and left-wing agendas, the measure is seen as the first step in dismantling the administrative state. Critics argue the cuts are largely symbolic—but House Speaker Mike Johnson promises this is just the beginning.

Congress approves a historic $9.4 billion rollback—the first in a generation—targeting NPR, USAID, and unused Biden-era funds, signaling a sharp turn toward America First budgeting. The cuts come alongside the closure of two major transgender clinics and renewed attacks on California's stalled high-speed rail. Backed by Trump and celebrated by conservative commentators, the moves are hailed as the beginning of a deep state dismantling. Critics argue the cuts are symbolic, but the right sees them as proof that a new political era is taking shape.

In a sweeping political shift, Congress passes a $9.4 billion rescission bill—the first in 25 years—slashing funds from NPR, USAID, and unspent Biden-era programs. Paired with the closure of two major transgender clinics and renewed efforts to defund California's high-speed rail, conservatives celebrate what they call the start of dismantling the deep state. Fueled by Trump's influence, this coordinated rollback of progressive institutions marks a pivotal moment in America First policymaking, as critics warn of growing culture war tensions.

In a week packed with political upheaval, conservative voices celebrate sweeping victories they attribute to Donald Trump's growing influence: Congress passes a historic $9.4B rollback targeting NPR, USAID, and unspent Biden-era funds; two major transgender clinics close; and California's high-speed rail project faces major defunding. Critics of USAID accuse it of fueling global chaos and terrorism, while advocates frame the budget cuts as the beginning of a larger crusade to dismantle the deep state. This episode captures the rising momentum behind America First policies and the backlash to progressive institutions.

In a powerful political shift, Congress has passed a $9.4 billion rescission package—its first in 25 years—targeting NPR, USAID, and unspent Biden-era funds. Conservatives hail it as a major win, alongside the closure of two major transgender clinics and efforts to defund California's high-speed rail. Fueled by Donald Trump's growing influence, this wave of reforms is seen by supporters as the beginning of a larger movement to dismantle bloated government programs and left-leaning institutions. Critics warn of culture war overreach, but the message from the right is clear: the reckoning has begun.

In a historic move, Congress approved a $9.4 billion rollback of previously allocated funds—the first major rescission package since 1999. Spearheaded by Senate Republicans and influenced by Donald Trump, the cuts target foreign aid, NPR, climate initiatives, and unused pandemic relief. While critics argue the impact is largely symbolic, supporters see it as a critical first step in dismantling bloated government spending and reasserting America First priorities. With Speaker Mike Johnson signaling more cuts ahead, this vote could mark the beginning of a broader fiscal shift in Washington.

In a sweeping wave of conservative victories, Congress has passed the first federal spending rollback in 25 years—rescinding $9.4 billion in unused COVID, climate, and foreign aid funds. Major targets include NPR, USAID, and left-leaning nonprofits, with cuts hailed as a crucial step in dismantling what critics call the “deep state.” Meanwhile, two high-profile transgender clinics shut down amid growing scrutiny, and California's troubled high-speed rail project faces defunding. Championed by Trump and celebrated by right-wing voices, these actions are framed as the beginning of a broader America First resurgence—reclaiming taxpayer dollars, gutting globalist programs, and reversing decades of progressive policy influence.

In a dramatic legislative shift, Congress has passed a $9.4 billion rescission package—the first of its kind since 1999—eliminating unspent funds from the Biden administration's climate, COVID, and infrastructure programs. Key targets include NPR, foreign aid, and left-leaning NGOs. Backed by Senate Republicans and championed by former President Trump, the cuts are seen as a symbolic but strategic strike against bloated government and progressive institutions. As Speaker Mike Johnson signals more cuts ahead, this vote marks the opening salvo in a broader battle over the federal budget and America's political direction.

Founded in 1963, the company, also known as CSX, previously offered same-day pickup and truckload shipments across Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, and parts of Missouri, employing 41 drivers and operating 33 power units.  Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced a new 12-member DOT Advisory Board with the goal of increasing American private investment in national infrastructure projects. Duffy highlighted that while there's a significant opportunity for private capital in infrastructure, much of the current returns are going to foreign investors, and he aims to shift these returns to American investors. Derek Barrs, the nominee for the top position at the FMCSA, testified before Congress, emphasizing how his law enforcement experience will guide his leadership in the agency. He specifically noted his understanding of challenges faced by roadside inspectors when communicating with drivers lacking English proficiency, and pledged to address issues like fraudulent CDLs and other fraud schemes if confirmed.  The episode also promotes upcoming FreightWaves TV programming, including new episodes of Bring It Home with JP Hampstead and The Long Haul with Adam Wingfield. Listeners are encouraged to get tickets for the Supply Chain AI Symposium on July 30th in Washington D.C., and to register for the free Enterprise Fleet Summit virtual event next week. Additionally, nominations for the FreightTech 100 awards are now open, with winners to be announced later in the summer and the FreightTech 25 announced at the F3 festival in October.

The podcast show we are releasing today features Professor Jonathan Gould of University of California (Berkeley) Law School who discusses his recent article co-written with Professor Rory Van Loo of Boston University School of Law which was recently published in the University of Chicago Law Review titled “Legislating for the Future”. The introduction of the article describes “legislating for the future” as follows: Public policy must address threats that will manifest in the future. Legislation enacted today affects the severity of tomorrow's harms arising from biotechnology, climate change, and artificial intelligence. This Essay focuses on Congress's capacity to confront future threats. It uses a detailed case study of financial crises to show the limits and possibilities of legislation to prevent future catastrophes. By paying insufficient attention to Congress, the existing literature does not recognize the full nature and extent of the institutional challenges in regulating systemic risk. Fully recognizing those challenges reveals important design insights for future-risk legislation. During the podcast, we discuss the dynamics around enacting legislation through Congress that aims to increase the stability of the financial system and prevent financial crises. We discuss with Professor Gould about why passing this sort of legislation is so difficult and what Congress might be able to do about that. We consider the following questions: 1.  What are the basic dynamics that make it so hard to pass financial stability legislation? 2.    How does the structure of Congress affect the difficulty of passing financial stability legislation? 3.   We have seen some big bills lately, like Biden's Inflation Reduction Act and the big taxing and spending bill from Trump this year.  Why is financial regulation harder to enact than these other types of legislation? 4.   Has it gotten easier or harder over time to enact financial regulation? 5.  What happens after financial stability legislation is enacted? 6.   What can Congress do to enhance its capacity in this area? 7.   What types of legislative drafting techniques are likely to be especially promising? 8.   What role is there for federal agencies to play in augmenting congressional capacity? 9.  What role is there for states or private plaintiffs to play in augmenting congressional capacity? 10. What relevance does this all have beyond financial regulation? 11. In light of the fact that the article was published before the 2024 election and change in administration are any of Professor Gould's conclusions altered by more recent events? This podcast was hosted by Alan Kaplinsky, the founder and former chair for 25 years and now Senior Counsel of the Consumer Financial Services Group.

Ep. 191 (Part 1 of 2) | Professor Mark Fischler, constitutional law expert and co-host of the Integral Justice Warrior podcast, helps us make sense of what's happening to our democracy, providing context—historical, legal, ethical—for the plethora of disturbing and destructive acts occurring on a daily basis in our political arena. The rule of law is under direct attack at this time, he explains, and an assault on democracy is essentially an assault on our most fundamental values—the principles this country was founded on: inclusivity, equality, and dignity for all. Mark clarifies President Trump's political actions in the context of developmental stages, unpacks Project 2025, and discusses the assault on higher education and critical thinking and what it portends. The trajectory of where we are headed, Mark points out, is regressing into values we have already transcended. We need our democratic foundation to move to deeper, post-democratic levels that are reflective of greater levels of interconnection and inclusivity—not the opposite, he says. What will it take to change the regressive trajectory? Courage! And involvement. Thank you, Mark, for bringing a rare depth and much-needed clarity to the subject of the evolving democratic crisis occurring in our nation today and its implications for our future.

The Senate passed a $9 billion spending-cuts package early on Thursday morning in a 51–48 vote. The bill would revoke funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting that Congress had already approved. Senators Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) were the only Republicans that opposed it. The package is now headed to the House.A 7.3 magnitude earthquake off Alaska's southern coast prompted tsunami alerts and evacuations for coastal communities on Wednesday. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake struck just after 12:30 p.m. local time. The tsunami warning was downgraded within an hour, and fully canceled just before 2:45 p.m. At least 40 aftershocks were recorded within a matter of hours, though no injuries or major damage was reported.President Donald Trump signed a measure into law on Wednesday, classifying fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs and toughening sentences for traffickers. Trump also called out China's role in the fentanyl crisis. China remains the largest source for fentanyl precursors, which are then used to make fentanyl products in Mexico before they end up in the United States. Fentanyl has become the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18 to 45.

This Day in Legal History: Second Confiscation ActOn July 17, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Second Confiscation Act into law, dramatically expanding federal wartime powers during the Civil War. Building on a more limited first version passed in 1861, the new act authorized the seizure of property—particularly land and slaves—from individuals engaged in or supporting the rebellion. It declared that any Confederate supporter who did not surrender within sixty days would have their property “forfeited and seized” by the United States government. Crucially, the law applied even to those who had not been convicted in court, effectively bypassing traditional due process protections.One of the most controversial aspects was the emancipation provision: slaves of disloyal owners were to be “forever free.” While limited in scope—applying only to territories held by Union forces and to those enslaved by rebels—it marked a key moment in the legal evolution of emancipation as a war aim. Lincoln, a lawyer sensitive to constitutional boundaries, had reservations about the law's due process implications. To address these, he issued a “signing statement” urging that the law be enforced in a way that preserved judicial oversight where possible.Still, the act laid the legal groundwork for broader emancipation efforts, including the Emancipation Proclamation issued six months later. It also reflected increasing pressure from abolitionist Republicans in Congress who sought a more aggressive stance against the Confederacy. The Confiscation Act expanded the Union's legal toolkit for undermining Confederate infrastructure and punishing rebellion, though enforcement was often inconsistent on the ground. It pushed the boundaries of property rights and signaled a shift in federal authority during wartime.A U.S. appeals court appears likely to block the Trump administration's effort to revoke Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for nearly 350,000 Venezuelan immigrants. During oral arguments on July 16, 2025, a three-judge panel from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals questioned the abrupt reversal of TPS protections just days after President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took office. Judges expressed skepticism about the administration's rationale, particularly since the Biden administration had extended TPS protections until October 2026 only two weeks earlier.Judge Kim McLane Wardlaw questioned how conditions in Venezuela could have changed so significantly in such a short timeframe. Government attorney Drew Ensign argued that the Biden administration's extension was legally insufficient and that agencies have the authority to reconsider decisions. However, Judge Anthony Johnstone countered that policy changes must follow proper legal channels, not be masked as legal corrections. Judge Salvador Mendoza raised concerns that Noem and Trump's comments—some of which he described as “arguably racist”—might reflect racial bias in the policy shift.The TPS Alliance, represented by Ahilan Arulanantham, argued that federal law only allows revisions to TPS decisions for minor corrections, not full reversals. District Judge Edward Chen had already blocked the TPS termination in March, citing discriminatory motivations. The case affects Venezuelans who received TPS in 2023, with their status set to expire in April unless court protections remain in place. If the administration's policy holds, earlier TPS recipients from 2021 could also lose their status by September. Several other lawsuits have also challenged the termination of TPS for Venezuelans and Haitians.US judges skeptical of Trump ending Venezuelan migrants' legal status | ReutersNinth Circuit skeptical of Venezuelan immigration status terminations, despite SCOTUS block | Courthouse News ServiceThe U.S. Department of Justice has fired Maurene Comey, a prominent federal prosecutor and daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, without providing a clear reason. Comey had led high-profile prosecutions, including the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell in the Jeffrey Epstein case and the recent case against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. Two anonymous sources confirmed the dismissal and said Comey received a memo citing the president's Article II constitutional authority to remove federal employees.The move comes amid broader personnel changes at DOJ under the Trump administration, which recently reversed its position on releasing Epstein-related documents—an about-face that has frustrated Trump's supporters. Maurene Comey was part of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan and played a key role in Maxwell's 2022 conviction and sentencing. She also prosecuted Combs, who is currently in jail awaiting sentencing for transporting women for prostitution. Although jurors acquitted Combs of the most serious charges, he remains in custody.The dismissal of Comey follows a pattern of DOJ firings under Attorney General Pam Bondi, who recently terminated several prosecutors involved in investigations tied to Trump, including members of Special Counsel Jack Smith's team. James Comey, fired by Trump in 2017, is currently under investigation alongside former CIA Director John Brennan. Neither the DOJ nor Maurene Comey has commented on her termination.US DOJ fires federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, daughter of ex-FBI head James Comey | ReutersEx-FBI Chief James Comey's Daughter Ousted as Federal Prosecutor - BloombergTwenty U.S. states—mostly led by Democratic governors—filed a lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from ending a federal grant program aimed at disaster prevention. The program, known as Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), was launched in 2018 to help fund infrastructure improvements that protect communities from natural disasters such as floods and wildfires. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Boston, argues that FEMA acted beyond its legal authority when it terminated the program in April without congressional approval.The states, led by Washington and Massachusetts, assert that ending BRIC violates the separation of powers, as Congress explicitly funded the program and made disaster mitigation a key function of FEMA. They also contend that the decision-makers at FEMA—former acting director Cameron Hamilton and his successor David Richardson—were not lawfully appointed and therefore lacked authority to shut down the program.FEMA defended the decision by claiming the program had become wasteful and politicized, but bipartisan lawmakers criticized the move, especially given BRIC's importance to rural and tribal communities. Over the past four years, the program has awarded approximately $4.5 billion for nearly 2,000 projects, including flood walls, road improvements, and evacuation centers.The lawsuit comes amid scrutiny over FEMA's recent handling of deadly floods in Texas, which killed over 130 people, reinforcing concerns about cutting pre-disaster funding. The plaintiff states are seeking a preliminary injunction to reinstate the BRIC program while the case proceeds.Trump administration sued by US states for cutting disaster prevention grants | ReutersFEMA Sued By 20 States Over Cuts to Disaster Mitigation ProgramGeorge Retes, a 25-year-old U.S. citizen and Army veteran, says he was wrongfully detained for three days following an immigration raid at a cannabis farm in Camarillo, California. Retes, who works as a security guard at the site, described a violent arrest by federal agents during a chaotic scene involving protestors. He alleges that officers broke his car window, used tear gas on him, and restrained him forcefully, despite his repeated statements that he was a citizen and an employee.The raid was part of a broader immigration enforcement effort under the Trump administration, which began ramping up in June. Retes claims he was never told what he was being charged with and was taken to a downtown Los Angeles facility without explanation. He missed his daughter's third birthday while detained and now plans to sue the federal government.Immigrant rights groups have warned that U.S. citizens and legal residents are sometimes wrongly caught up in such raids. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed Retes' arrest and release, stating that his case, among others, is under review by the U.S. Attorney's Office for potential federal charges. Retes condemned the treatment he received and called for greater accountability, saying no one—regardless of immigration status—should be subjected to such abuse.US citizen says he was jailed for three days after California immigration raid | Reuters This is a public episode.
