A man calling for, quote, regime change at the Federal Reserve appears on track to run it.

I'm David Brancaccio in Los Angeles.

Just a couple seconds ago, I got a Reuters bulletin that says President Trump is nominating a new head for the Federal Reserve.

It will be Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor who almost got the job last time back in 2017.

Warsh, in line with the president, thinks interest rates should be lower.

Warsh is said to have played a key role in the government's rescue of Wall Street during the 2008 mortgage crisis.

In a pushback against ICE and Border Patrol tactics, clergy, unions, and immigrant rights activists mounted what they called a general strike and economic blackout in Minnesota last week.

Some businesses closed, employees stayed home, with some participating in public protest.

For today, there are calls for a national shutdown in solidarity with people in Minnesota opposed to Trump administration immigration activities.

Marketplace's Mitchell Hartman has more on an American tradition that leverages the workplace.
