[b]Americans Trust Fed Over Trump On the Economy: Poll.[/b]
“More Americans have faith in the Federal Reserve than Donald Trump when it comes to guiding the U.S. economy, says a survey, amid the president's continued attacks on the institution and its officials.
According to the Economist/YouGov poll released on Tuesday, 45 percent of surveyed adults said they trusted the central bank's Board of Governors to "handle the U.S. economy," compared to only 26 percent who chose Trump and 29 percent who were unsure.”

[b]Trump's War on the Fed: 600 Economists Sound the Alarm on Democracy and Dollars.[/b]
“Six hundred U.S. economists have voiced strong concerns over President Donald Trump’s attempts to assert political control over the Federal Reserve, particularly through his effort to remove Governor Lisa Cook. In a joint letter, the economists argue that such actions threaten the foundational independence of the central bank, a principle they describe as crucial for maintaining economic stability and public trust in the U.S. financial system. The letter emphasizes that weakening the high standard for removing Fed governors could increase monetary policy uncertainty and lead to higher interest rates and borrowing costs for consumers and businesses [1].”

[b]FBI Concerned About Donald Trump's Washington, DC, Crackdown–Report.[/b]
“The crackdown has required FBI agents who normally keep low profiles in the course of their work to participate in the arrests while wearing tactical gear and use their regular, unmarked vehicles, exposing both their identities and their assets to various criminal elements.
"Every time you see us getting out of covert cars wearing our FBI vests that car is burned," one current employee explained, speaking on condition of anonymity

Current and former employees at the bureau told the outlet that they are compromising these assets to the benefit of a surge in arrests for minor offenses, and at the cost of making it more difficult for the agency to track larger threats, such as violent criminal gangs, foreign intelligence services, and drug traffickers.”

[b]Trump Is Accusing Foes With Multiple Mortgages of Fraud. Records Show 3 of His Cabinet Members Have Them.[/b]
“Underscoring how common the practice is, ProPublica found that at least three of Trump’s Cabinet members call multiple homes their primary residences on mortgages. We discovered the loans while examining financial disclosure forms, county real estate records and publicly available mortgage data provided by Hunterbrook Media.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer entered into two primary-residence mortgages in quick succession, including for a second home near a country club in Arizona, where she’s known to vacation. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has primary-residence mortgages in New Jersey and Washington, D.C. Lee Zeldin, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator, has one primary-residence mortgage in Long Island and another in Washington, D.C., according to loan records.”

[b]Trump to Coal Miners: Drop Dead.[/b]
“It has not been a very good year for the American coal industry, as both exports and price per ton continue to trend downwards, but it’s been even worse for the coal miners themselves.

Last week, the Trump administration approved yet another delay in the implementation of a Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) rule to lower miners’ exposure to deadly silica dust. The National Sand, Stone and Gravel Association sued to block the rule back in April—and instead of voicing any opposition to the suit or support for the rule, the Trump Labor Department has ignored the miners’ plight in favor of well-heeled corporate interests.”
