Senator warns Pam Bondi already taking steps to 'take over elections in swing states'

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi came under fire over the weekend for what some have called a "breathtaking" plan to extort the state of Minnesota as a means to "seize" the state's "election infrastructure."

Bondi has purportedly already taken the first step toward taking over elections in Minnesota and other U.S. states by sending a letter to Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor, according to Democratic Senator Chris Murphy. The letter demands access to data from Minnesota, including voter record information.

Murphy flagged the potential threat.

"Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump," he wrote. "Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states."

In a video, Murphy went on to explain how he believes this is Bondi and Trump trying to "rig" elections in key jurisdictions.

MS NOW host Jonathan Capehart called the letter "breathtaking," but MAGA influencers turned on Bondi and said letters aren't enough.

Dem strategist Matt McDermott also chimed in, saying, "As insane as this sounds, it’s true: Pam Bondi sent Minnesota officials a letter today saying ICE would leave the state if Minnesota turns over its voter files to the Trump Administration."

"They’re openly using state violence as a bargaining chip to seize election infrastructure," he added.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market.
