Appeals court rejects Trump’s bid to unseat Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook ahead of rate vote

An appeals court ruled Monday that Lisa Cook can remain a Federal Reserve governor, rebuffing President Donald Trump’s efforts to remove her just ahead of a key vote on interest rates. The Trump administration is expected to quickly turn to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch bid to unseat Cook. The Fed’s next two-day meeting to consider its next interest rate move begins Tuesday morning. And Cook’s lawsuit seeking to permanently block her firing must still make its way through the courts.

Trump fires Lisa Cook, first Black woman on Federal Reserve Board, opening new front in fight for control over central bank

President Donald Trump fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook late Monday, a sharp escalation in his battle to exert greater control over what has long been considered an institution independent from day-to-day politics. Trump said in a letter posted on his Truth Social platform that he is firing Cook because of allegations that she committed mortgage fraud. Bill Pulte, a Trump appointee to the agency that regulates mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, made the accusations last week. Pulte alleged that Cook […]

In a crowded White House press briefing room, President Donald Trump announced an unprecedented federal takeover of Washington, D.C., including the deployment of the D.C. National Guard, federalizing control of the local police department, and declaring a public safety emergency.

The war over federal troops in LA and the problem we all live with

There is a famous Norman Rockwell painting that stands out from the rest of his work not solely because of who we see in it but also because of who we don’t see. A little Black girl in a perfectly pressed dress with braided hair adorned by a bow walks face forward with a book and ruler in hand, looking past a big spray-painted slur on the wall: N*GGER. She is escorted by men in yellow armbands, who represent the […]

 Elon Musk is leaving his government role as a top adviser to President Donald Trump after spearheading efforts to reduce and overhaul the federal bureaucracy.

Federal court blocks Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs under emergency powers law

A federal court on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump from imposing sweeping tariffs on imports under an emergency-powers law, swiftly throwing into doubt Trump’s signature set of economic policies that have rattled global financial markets, frustrated trade partners and raised broader fears about inflation intensifying and the economy slumping. The ruling from a three-judge panel at the New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade came after several lawsuits arguing Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs exceeded his authority and left the country’s trade policy dependent […]
