Trump Says He'll 'Fire' Jerome Powell, But Prediction Markets Say It Won't Help With Rate Cuts
Donald Trump told Fox Business on Tuesday he will fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell if Powell does not leave when his term expires next month. “I’ll have to fire him, OK, if he’s not leaving on time,” Trump said. “I’ve held back firing him. I’ve wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial.” Trump’s remarks landed hours after prosecutors from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office showed up unannounced at the Fed’s $2.5 billion renovation site. A federal judge threw out the probe’s subpoenas last month, finding it appeared designed to pressure Powell into lowering rates. Powell has said he will stay on as chair pro tem if his successor is not confirmed by May 15. Trump’s nominee, former Fed governor Kevin Warsh, has a confirmation hearing set for April 21, but Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) has refused to vote for any Fed nominee until the DOJ drops its ... Full story available on Benzinga.com

Chuck Schumer, Kathy Hochul Slam FIFA For $100 Train Tickets To MetLife Stadium, Urge Covering Transport For Fans Amid '$11 Billion Windfall'
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) criticized the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) on Tuesday as reports emerged that the New Jersey Transit was going to charge $100 for train tickets to the 2026 World Cup venue. An $11 Billion Windfall In a post on the social media platform X, Schumer lamented the steep train ticket prices of more than $100 for return tickets from Penn Station to the MetLife Stadium. “FIFA is set to reap nearly $11 billion from this summer’s World Cup,” he said, adding that NY residents were still being forced to foot the bill. “The least FIFA can do is ensure New York residents can go to the stadium without being gouged at the turnstile,” he said. He also demanded that the apex soccer governing body cover “transportation costs for host cities and states” in the U.S. “New York commuters and residents should not subsidize an $11 billion windfall,” he said.

Rand Paul Slams Projected $700 Billion Iran War Spending Amid $2 Trillion Deficit: 'The Enemy Is Debt'
Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) issued a stark warning regarding the escalating costs of the ongoing Iran war, arguing that adding hundreds of billions in new military spending threatens the stability of the U.S. dollar and poses a much greater risk than any foreign adversary. The $700 Billion Price Tag Speaking on CNBC, Paul pushed back against the administration’s financial requests on day 46 of the conflict. He outlined a staggering projected cost, noting a requested $500 billion base increase coupled with reports of a $200 billion supplemental package. “So 500 plus 200 is 700 billion,” Paul explained. “We’re already running a $2 trillion deficit, so that’s a 30-some-odd percent increase in the debt in one year.” At a time when we're already facing a $2 trillion deficit, proposals to add hundreds of billions more in spending should concern everyone. Our long-term threat isn't foreign invasion, it's the growing debt and the stability of our dollar. @CNBC pic.twitter.com/9ukkVQV5sT — Rand Paul (@RandPaul) April 14, 2026 data-variant="card" data-news-mode="manual" > Read ...

'Bitcoin Senator' Lummis Touts Kraken's Fed Access As Progress, But Not Everyone Agrees
Wyoming GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis, a vocal advocate for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), praised Kraken getting access to the Fedwire payment system as a breakthrough for integrating digital assets with traditional finance.
