For months, Trump has waged an unusually aggressive campaign against Powell — publicly demanding steep interest rate cuts and at times threatening to try to remove Powell before his term expired.

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a close ally of Trump, said the Justice Department would appeal the ruling — brushing off concerns that the inquiry could delay Warsh’s confirmation.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says the government entered the last two recessions with the national debt at 35 percent and 80 percent of GDP, respectively.

Bryan Hodgson’s celebrated homecoming comes with both deeply painful and joyously uplifting reminders of the South Florida’s full-circle journey in preparing to make his NCAA Tournament coaching debut not far from his Jamestown, New York, roots. There are the mental and physical scars — two burn marks on the back of his legs — Hodgson carries as a result of the physical abuse he endured as a child. More significant and uplifting for the 38-year-old is what followed.
