The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system.

The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.

  1. We voted for you in the powerful positions to do something about it.

    Either behave like these are unprecedented times or get out of the way for another generation of leaders to.

  2. We already know this. Just stating the most obvious thing in the world is not helpful. You have more power and influence than any of us voters. Stop whining and do something with the power you have.

    What day doesn't he break the law, abuse his power, set dangerous precedents and undermine the economy? Maybe less collegiality with the impotent, neutered cult on the other side of the aisle and tell them this. We already know. (Tongue in cheek)

  5. Have you introduced any new legislation to curb his enthusiasm for authoritarianism? Where is Congress? Or are we fighting this fight with the 1 branch that still seems willing to push back? Don't tell me its all on the GOP. Democrats seem to be waiting on the house to fall on him, like Dorothy.

  6. No one really has to listen to him or do what he tells them to...Why are so many willing to break Laws, ignore the Constitution??? I don't understand the GOP which used be all about America now crushing everything decent for a Convicted Felon and pedophile....🤬

  7. Undermining financial institutions for personal or political gain sets a precedent that could ripple through the economy for years. The consequences are real and measurable.

  8. If Trump is breaking the law, why hasn't he been indicted? If there's a law and he's breaking that law, he must be indicted. I guess it's less simple than that.

  9. And? Apparently there is not a damned thing to be done. Everyday it just goes one step further without one guardrail to stop it except these poor judges whose families and lives get threatened for just doing their job.

  11. Better. Do not “reach across the aisle to find common ground.” Lawlessness is son-negotiable. Stand firm.

    Raise hell and fight and do not give them one single inch. No votes for anything, no unanimous consent, nothing. The government is being used lawlessly to endanger us all and must be stopped.

  12. Please stop with the “it’s against the constitution, or illegal” THEY. DONT. CARE. And none of the guardrails are are doing their jobs (CONgress or the Supreme Court are totally on his side. Our elected leaders need to DO MORE than offer lip service.

  13. That is what fascist dictators do, Amy.

    You know better than we do that the SCOTUS supermajority retroactively nullified the Constitution July 1, 2024 in favor of serial autocracy, simultaneously nullifying the authority of the fed gov to govern, dissolving the Union.

    I do not consent to tyranny.

  14. Stop talking about this like it is news and do something, anything to stop what is clearly their goal….to destroy it for thrir own benefit.

  16. So what's Congress going to do about Trump, Amy? It's clear that he will be Dictator in Chief very soon, at this rate

  17. So when is the drumbeat going to start up for this guy’s removal? What more does he have to do? He’s a national security threat. He’s corrupt. He’s against the ideals this country was founded on. He’s dangerous. He’s putting troops in major cities. He’s prosecuting political enemies.

  22. Words are cheap, with all due respect. Nothing was done about the voting machines in swing states. Nothing was done about the mass hacking of multiple agencies (DOGE). Nothing is being done about every law he breaks. Time for some foreign country to end our misery. Or a MAGA who woke up.

    With all due respect, why is every democrat not out doing the work for the people? Every single democratic congress person needs to be out fighting for democracy in the streets like everyone else! Speaking out against a dictatorship backed by the billionaire technocrats! It’s appalling to be honest!

  31. Can somebody in congress please stand in front of the cameras & inform the American people that US presidents don’t just get to sit on their butt behind a desk & issue executive orders all day. Also point out 90% of the orders Trump has issued have been illegal. Laws are passed by congress not Trump

  32. So remove him. Permanently or arrest him for treason against America. Apparently you have all the power and us stupid constituents have none.

    Really! These are the people who advocated for less government and seem to have their tentacles in everything! Arranging for the US to own 10% of intel stocks should have been a step over the line of what’s ethical. The Government shouldn’t be meddling in markets in that way either.

  35. That's a day with a y in it, Senator. When will elected Ds actually do something to fix this? Or do you intend to wait it out as you did last time? Because waiting it out led is to today, just fyi.

  36. I would like to see the Democrats speak very pointedly about what the Republicans are letting trump do to our country. Call the SOBs out, don’t be nice, be in their face pissed off, call them what they are Cowards, worthless, corrupt, dishonest, money grabbing, insider traders POS.

  43. It seems like you should be talking about connecting the dots - he wants the Fed to cut rates to goose the tanking economy and this is his way to force it. If he can (still in doubt) remove current governors and replace with loyalists, it will be catastrophic.

  44. Yes. And?

    What is the action step that our leaders are taking to stop this? Please report back at a time convenient for you and your colleagues. 😐

  45. You now live in a dark new world. Power was handed to a dictator. He is now dictating. All you have are your voices. He won't listen. But he is not immortal.

  47. Maybe you can co-sponsor another bill with Ted Cruz.

    You are my Senator, and I need you to pick a lane. The entire GOP is committed to the collapse of our constitutional democracy, and you're still playing footsie with fascists so you can get 18 extra votes in Glencoe.

  49. Klobuchar - interesting - hey, do you remember when you SPOKE AT HIS INAUGURATION CEREMONY, trying to get dems to welcome him, white washed this whole goddamn fascist takeover with a very stupid speech just to take part in his fanfare? SIT. TF. DOWN.

  51. He did all that the first time, and his entire life….including when he was finally pulled outta there and for the last 4 years. He is a convicted criminal and rapist. Y’all act like you are surprised. America elected in what it KNEW was a criminal. 🤷🏼‍♀️

  52. Okay but when are the Democrats going to introduce the articles of impeachment? When are all y'all going to enter you own version?

  55. Why aren't you and the rest of the Dems in DC doing everything, using every tactic you have, to stop or at least slow this down? Not seeing any urgency from any of you. The only resistance is being done by local politicians while all of you wring your hands.

  56. Maybe somebody in Congress should be leading a real effort to stop the president from doing those things. Just a thought.

  63. So what is Amy Klobuchar as a Senator and member of Congress, along with her Democratic colleagues & maybe some enlightened Republicans colleagues, doing to stop these illegal acts? I’m seeing multitudes of posts about illegal acts, but not seeing or hearing of any plans or actions to stop him.

  64. @amyklobuchar.com I was trained as a national security crisis responder, spotted this coming in 2018 and there have been teams working to respond to this coup.
