A slate of economists from across the political spectrum urged the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn most of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, saying they’re based on misconceptions about the global economy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/25/economy/trump-tariffs-supreme-court-panned/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #economy #us #supremecourt #janetyellen #benbernanke #federalreserve #donaldtrump #globaleconomy #tariffs #trade
more data on those “52 million americans” who congressional #dems think are using #crypto but actually aren’t: according to the atlanta federal reserve crypto ownership declined once again to 7.7% of adults in 2024 from its peak of 9.6% in 2022.
that 7.7% number includes people speculating on bitcoin via ETFs etc which is hardly “usage”. less than 2% of americans actually “use” crypto for anything (and a lot of that is probably just bros buying NFTs).

A federal court ruled Tues that #FederalReserve Governor #LisaCook can remain in her position while she fights Trump’s efforts to fire her.
The ruling, which will be appealed, is a blow to the #Trump admin’s efforts to assert more #control over the traditionally #independent#Fed, which sets interest rates to achieve its congressionally mandated goals of stable #prices & maximum #employment. #Congress has also sought to insulate the Fed from #politics.

"Why is Donald Trump trying to break the will of the Federal Reserve? Because he wants to be able to set the nation’s interest rates according to his momentary political interests—a tectonic disruption of America’s financial system that could permanently destroy America’s reputation as an economic safe haven and cause immeasurable damage to the U.S. economy."
