Yoooooo - political interference in setting interest rates is as good microwaving fish. It can GTFO. DOJ is investigating Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, on a pretext to get him to cave to political pressure. www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

This is a break-glass moment.

OK bluesky universe: Peekaboo! where are my US-based small business owners? I've got something for you, but don't know where you are. (or maybe it's hide and seek. whatever. HMU)

Hey Small Business Owners: Who's a business owner you admire - someone in the public eye, who's had success, someone with integrity? We need advisors for Integrity Matters, the leaders who stand up for the rules of free enterprise. Big businesses are AWFULLY QUIET. So - who do you admire?

SCOTUS will give 47 a wide berth so he can keep his tariffs/personal agenda, rather than setting up a separations of powers showdown. So what's a small business owner stuck with tariff chaos to do? Organize. The tariff power belongs to Congress, and Congress can take it back. Join us.

Seeking to claw back money that has already been appropriated by running out the clock for Congress to reject its request before the funding expires. Nope. Not even a little bit legal. $$$ been appropriated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/u...

Removing Lisa D. Cook from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve is a violation of the independence of the Fed - and of the rule of law. If you don't want to hear us call out EVERY LAST VIOLATION, this is not the account to follow.

Hey, we're new here: a thread on small businesses and pushing back against illegal actions of the Trump Administration. Small businesses are being trampled by illegal actions of the executive branch. I'm a small business owner, and had an executive order destroy the market for my work. (1/6)
