Trump is 'rattled' as White House descends into 'finger-pointing': Axios founder

The shooting and killing of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by DHS agents in Minnesota on Saturday has not only led to a shakeup within the department, but also has Donald Trump trying to regain his footing as the turmoil spreads to his own inner circle.

Appearing on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” Axios founder Jim VandeHei explained that the Trump administration is finding itself in a bind with no clear pathway out over the ensuing uproar that has Republicans questioning what is going on within the administration.

Speaking with co-host Mika Brzezinski, VandeHei grew animated as he remarked, “It just shows just how scared Republicans are to say what they really think, especially at a moment where I've never seen the president in his staff this panicked.”

“You have the president of the United States blaming [DHS Secretary] Kristi Noem. You have Kristi Noem blaming [Trump adviser] Stephen Miller and the president. You have Stephen Miller blaming people much lower in the bureaucracy. And so, you have all this finger-pointing. Well, why? Because the president himself is quite rattled by this,” he elaborated.

“He [Trump] looks at those images,” he observed. “You can't look at that video and come to any other conclusion. And for those that are still skeptical, go to the New York Times and look at that recreation they did yesterday. There's no way you can walk away with any other interpretation of what happened.”

Fed Rate Cuts May Push Crypto Prices Up As ‘Digital Gold’ Replaces TradFi

Fed Rate Cuts May Push Crypto Prices Up As ‘Digital Gold’ Replaces TradFi

The post Fed Rate Cuts May Push Crypto Prices Up As ‘Digital Gold’ Replaces TradFi appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FX168 Financial News (North America) reports that cryptocurrency polymath Eric Trump has said that President Trump’s consistent advocacy of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut could push up cryptocurrency prices significantly. A rate cut would make interest-bearing safe assets less attractive. It would prompt investors to turn to speculative assets such as stocks and Bitcoin (BTC-USD).  Historically, cryptocurrencies typically rise during easing cycles, albeit not in a straight line. A rate cut could trigger a short-term rally. It could also signal economic weakness, which could drag down the performance of risky assets. In Eric Trump’s view, the digital asset industry is here to stay for the long haul. From there, the existence of proven cloud mining platforms has high benefits. What is Cloud Mining? XiuShan Mining cloud mining is a way to allow users to mine cryptocurrencies by renting computing power (arithmetic). A third party provides that computing power. Besides, users don’t need to purchase expensive mining equipment or perform technical maintenance themselves.  Users simply purchase a certain number of arithmetic contracts from the specialized XiuShan Mining cloud mining platform. That’s responsible for purchasing, deploying, operating, and maintaining the equipment, including power supply and technical management. Users can receive cryptocurrency revenue generated by mining on a pro rata basis according to the arithmetic power and lease term.  How Does Cloud Mining Work? Rented Arithmetic: Users select and purchase arithmetic contracts on the XiuShan Mining platform, which are typically measured in terms of hash rates (e.g., giga-hashes per second) that determine the amount of mining power. Mining Operations: XiuShan Mining uses its large mining facilities in remote data centers to validate blockchain transactions using the arithmetic power rented by users to solve complex mathematical problems. Distribution of Revenues: Cryptocurrency revenues generated by mining are distributed to users on a regular basis…

New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together

New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together

The post New Trump appointee Miran calls for half-point cut in only dissent as rest of Fed bands together appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Stephen Miran, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and US Federal Reserve governor nominee for US President Donald Trump, arrives for a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee confirmation hearing in Washington, DC, US, on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2025. The Senate Banking Committee’s examination of Stephen Miran’s appointment will provide the first extended look at how prominent Republican senators balance their long-standing support of an independent central bank against loyalty to their party leader. Photographer: Daniel Heuer/Bloomberg via Getty Images Daniel Heuer | Bloomberg | Getty Images Newly-confirmed Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran dissented from the central bank’s decision to lower the federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point on Wednesday, choosing instead to call for a half-point cut. Miran, who was confirmed by the Senate to the Fed Board of Governors on Monday, was the sole dissenter in the Federal Open Market Committee’s statement. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, who had dissented at the Fed’s prior meeting in favor of a quarter-point move, were aligned with Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the others besides Miran this time. Miran was selected by Trump back in August to fill the seat that was vacated by former Governor Adriana Kugler after she suddenly announced her resignation without stating a reason for doing so. He has said that he will take an unpaid leave of absence as chair of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors rather than fully resign from the position. Miran’s place on the board, which will last until Jan. 31, 2026 when Kugler’s term was due to end, has been viewed by critics as a threat from Trump to the Fed’s independence, as the president has nominated three of the seven members. Trump also said in August that he had fired Federal Reserve Board Governor…
