I actually think it’s good for Democrats to call attention to the fact that Trump wants to remove people of color from positions of power and re-segregate society. That’s easier to explain than the impact removing Cook might have on Americans’ bank accounts, which is currently unclear.

I think tRump wants to get rid of her mostly because she's been opposed to rate cuts & has proven herself unlikely to cave to his pressures to control the Fed. That said, I think his regime gives themselves bonus points when they can get rid of someone they consider DEI (PoCs, women, LGBTQIA2S).

'Donald Trump is a vicious bigot, and wants to rule us like a king' seems very straightforward messaging.

Can’t even get “the market” to care about the fed

I think this is pretty clear and is a good template: The president of Turkey did the same thing and sent inflation soaring to 80%.

Yeah my critique here would be that the statement fails to tie together that she is black and Trump is attempting to illegally fire her

Yeah…I don’t get why anyone would have a fit about this statement. I’m neutral on Jeffries, mind you. But that response is nitpicky.

Yeah, like, Jeffries isn't being as explicit as I would about it, but calling attention to Cook's race is another way to say that Trump is creating a world where any nonwhite person in a position of power and authority is viewed with suspicion.
