.@FederalReserve Chair Powell has taken too many actions to weaken the Fed's oversight of our largest banks & deregulate Wall Street. I told Chair Powell today that renominating him for another term is not a risk worth taking and that’s why I’ll oppose his renomination. pic.twitter.com/XwQtUaEZfO

On the same day Boston FedReserve Pres resigns, so does Dallas Federal Reserve President #Kaplan. Same reason as his buddy #Rosengren Stock trading in conflict of interest with Fed policies.#RiggedSystem #GoodOleBoyClub https://t.co/ZJjm1pESvi
Republicans are bending over backward to prevent a vote on raising the debt ceiling to pay the tab they ran up during the Trump admin. First they rip off $2 trillion from our Treasury for the richest Americans; then they hide from responsibility for the resulting debt. Shameful.

Instituted in 1917, the #DebtCeiling was intended to maintain congressional authority over fed agencies

But combined with Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold, it's now an unconstitutional tool of the minority party to extort America#wtpBLUE @wtpBLUEpic.twitter.com/8Lhr8P4oTy
Senate Republicans just essentially voted to shut down the government - which they have been warned by past GOP Treasury Secretaries will put our economy in peril. Stop trying to work with these people Pres Biden - they are just blocking your agent and running out the clock!
