TL;DR
Sen. Elizabeth Warren warns that Donald Trump is weaponizing the presidency as a “crypto cash machine,” rolling back financial oversight to enrich himself and his allies. In an exclusive Vanity Fair interview, she accuses him of greasing palms in the media (think the Paramount merger and the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s show), attacking independent outlets like PBS and NPR, and cozying up to crypto lobbyists—even while undermining the Federal Reserve’s independence to distract from his own scandals.
Warren says everyday Americans end up shouldering the cost: higher interest rates thanks to chaotic tariffs, defunded public news, and a political landscape rigged for the rich. Her message? Don’t get discouraged—get angry and keep fighting for accountability before our democracy goes up in smoke.
