Sterling rose above $1.37, which is the strongest since October 2021. The dollar weakened after the Wall Street Journal reported Trump had considered naming Jerome Powell's replacement as head of the Federal Reserve by September or October. The US Fed is independent from the government and Mr Powell chairs a committee that decides on interest rates which have remained unchanged this year, prompting a series of angry outbursts from Trump. On Wednesday, Trump called Mr Powell "terrible" and said he was looking at "three or four people" who could replace him. Mr Powell's term is due to end in May 2026. There are concerns the US president could install someone who is sympathetic to his demands.

"In his first budget proposal since returning to office, Pres. Trump is taking a chainsaw approach to the United Nations—similar to the one he’s taken with U.S. government departments and agencies ... By removing itself from these deliberations, the United States cedes the opportunity to shape global standards, allowing countries with different views on privacy and human rights to define the future":

Bobby Kogan: "House Republicans passed Trump's spending bill without knowing:
-how many people lose health insurance,
-how many people lose food assistance,
-how many Americans come out ahead/behind,
-which types of Americans come out ahead/behind,
-or even what the bill costs."

Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy lied when he said: "We're all been reporting and seeing what's happening at Newark airport. And I think it's clear that the blame belongs with the last administration."

It was Musk's DOGE agents of chaos who recklessly fired air traffic controllers and other federal employees who would have prevented the problems at Newark airport from happening.

"House Republicans are aiming to put big new taxes on private foundations ... Vice Pres. JD Vance has singled out large institutions like the Ford Foundation, telling Tucker Carlson in 2021 that they are 'fundamentally cancers on American society but they pretend to be charities. They fund critical race theory, they fund ridiculous racism. We are actively subsidizing the people who are destroying this country and they call it a charity'.”:

Jesse Lee: "The deep disgust with us as a country from Trump screwing with the world’s livelihoods for kicks is going to end up with people overseas just wanting to buy a lot less of our stuff, and this may end up a bigger hit on our exports than the tariffs."
