Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

This is crazy on its own. Crazier that its before the case for Cook’s removal gets to the Supreme Court. And crazier again because he's set to be replaced as the head in a few months anyway
I find it crazier that Trump's first year in office isn't over yet. Inauguration was 20th Jan 2025.
Imagine what a democratic socialist of this level could achieve. A country could be completely rejuvenated using the same methods in the other direction.
... except I guess the billionaires wouldn't be so cooperative.
A lot of those methods involve completely ignoring people's interests or the legal system, the international order, deliberately trying to kneecap institutions that get in your way, filling the government with people of one political view while trying to remove those of the other political views, threats, bribes, and weaponising the justice department. I can see how that worked to get more done but I think even with noble goals thats a pretty expensive cost to get there
Maybe not. It takes a lot longer and greater resources to build something than to destroy it.
Roosevelt did pretty well in 100 days
The federal government and the US as a whole were very different beasts in those days.
I guess when enough things are broken you do whatever it takes.
Also crazy because Trump was the one who made Powell the chair of the Fed.
he has a memory of a goldfish, or when he last snorted cocaine.
