President Trump has tried threats, name-calling and public humiliation to take control of the Fed. But he has always stopped short of the step that advisers warned could roil financial markets and upend a pillar of the global economy: attempting to fire a Fed official. He took that leap on Monday.

The fact that the President of the United States is saying this is not ok. It will never be ok. This is not normal - and everyone in DC who is still harboring delusions that they can keep doing politics (and legislating) either in denial or pretending this is all normal - are enabling this.

Someone posted this on another site and I had to share. Powerful words to describe our so-called president. It’s almost impossible to believe that this is America in 2025.
Festering Carcass by: Oliver Kornetzke

Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul-all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but has always been-arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul—it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.

Trump’s Takeover of D.C. Is Not a Distraction. It’s the Whole Point.
Yes, his approval rating is tanking and he’s still trying to shake the Epstein scandal. But he’s been foreshadowing this authoritarian power grab for years—and yet Democrats still weren’t ready for it.
