Trump says that he is removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, an unprecedented move and a significant escalation of his attacks on the U.S. central bank

This isn't an "attack on the U.S. central bank," especially if he doesn't fire Powell. This is an attack on another competent, intelligent woman who happens to also be African American. Just like his attacks on Karen Bass and Muriel Bowser. This is his war on Minority Women This is his bigotry

The only way his tariffs work is if he can get interest rates down. The flipside of this is we’re gonna end up in a 2008 scenario again. The buy now and pay later scheme. Fully expect predatory loans, adjustable arm interest rates, Heartbeat Loans. They’re already gutting consumer protection

They keep sharing an unflattering picture of her, with no mention of her VERY impressive background. 45 can't stand smart women, ESPECIALLY ones who aren't white. Please share her credentials widely - this comes from the Fed's website:

3 images containing the biography of Lisa Cook, who 45 just fired from the Fed Board. This alt text has the entire biography listed. Lisa D. Cook took office as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on May 23, 2022, to fill an unexpired term ending January 31, 2024. She was reappointed to the Board on September 8, 2023, and sworn in on September 13, 2023, for a term ending January 31, 2038. Prior to her appointment to the Board, Dr. Cook was a professor of economics and international relations at Michigan State University. From 2018 to 2021, she was director of the American Economic Association Summer Training Program. She was also a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Previously, Dr. Cook was on the faculty of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. During her time at Harvard, Dr. Cook also served as deputy director for Africa Research at the Center for International Development. Before then, she was a National Fellow at Stanford University. From 2011 to 2012, Dr. Cook served as a senior economist on the Council of Economic Advisers under President Barack Obama. From 2000 to 2001, she served as a senior adviser on finance and development in the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of International Affairs. Dr. Cook received a BA in philosophy from Spelman College. As a Marshall Scholar, she received a second BA in philosophy, politics, and economics from Oxford University. She earned a PhD in economics from the University of California, Berkeley. image image

Her signature is on two different forms claiming two different permanent residences. It’s cut and dried and she’s not denying it. She’s just claiming she’s above the law and NO ONE, NO ONE can fire her!!
