Trump is desperately looking for a scapegoat to cover for his own failure to lower costs for Americans and firing Lisa Cook is his latest move. It’s an authoritarian power grab that blatantly violates the Federal Reserve Act, and any court that follows the law will overturn it.
They f****** better overturn it
Senator, stop relying on the courts. They will not save us. If Powell doesn't ignore Trump's order and allows him to ride her, the Fed is done. He'll fire Powell next.
It is illegal- what are you a US Senator going to do about it?
Mrs. Warren, respectfully, It's all just really bad. He has masked goons kidnapping people off the streets and sending them to foreign countries. Yes he's also gonna wreck the economy. One is not a distraction from the other, it's just a lot of really bad (and illegal!) stuff we need to stop
He TACO didn't compose this it smells of Steven Miller, all he did was sign it.
Have the Epstein files been released yet???!!!
She’s not going He can’t fire her
#FUCKPUTIN #FUCKTRUMP #FUCKTHAGOP #FUCKINGTERRORISTS Domestic and foreign, legit!
This 👆"desperately looking for a scapegoat "
That badass woman is standing her ground. Bravo!! 🇺🇸👏👏👏
*Dr. Lisa Cook (PhD, UC Berkeley)
I hope she sues the shit outta him for wrongful termination.
Lisa Cook, being black, only intensifies Trump's disdain for her..
It's amazing how dictators have such a long consistent history of triggering runaway inflation while trying to bandaid over their other economic failures.
No, Senator, these action are far more than distractions. Stop spewing this party line nonsense. He’s attempting to control the Fed and is enjoying himself because he gets to attack a Black women while he’s doing so. Get to work.
Do you think SCOTUS still actually follows the law or just rules for Trump?
Funny!
Key phrase: "any court that follows the law." Which excludes SCOTUS.
She doesn’t need to have a court overturn it if it’s illegal. Ignore him.
Liz, you need to be prepared that 5 and probably 6 will uphold this "firing" claiming that courts must be highly deferential as to potus view that there is cause
Stop calling it a power grab. It’s fascism.
Black and female, never gonna fly in Trump land
🤬🤬🤬
There is absolutely no win here for regular people. One hopes we can make him and his movement own the ensuing disaster of removing the independent Fed. This is not a good consolation prize.
Unfortunately that doesn’t include the majority of our corrupt Supreme Court.
I'm sure the fact that she is a Black woman has NOTHING to do with this. /s
“That follows the law” Pretty high bar these days
Cook ought to just toss that stupid letter in the trash where it belongs. He can't touch her.
Money printer go brrrrrr.
Trump is right. He has the power to remove any Federal employee he wants. So he won’t mind when the next Democratic president removes every Trump appointee from the Federal government.
"any court that follows the law"... well, that's the thorny part these days.
Why do we elect Congress, the President, but not the Courts to limited terms? This is madness. Why are we being ruled by wizards in robes with lifetime gigs? This is 2025, ffs. End lifetime appts to everything.
Because we don't want judges who may yeild to public opinion to keep their jobs. We want judges focused on the law, not elections.
Makes sense on paper but now we see the worst-case scenario imaginable: a SCOTUS focused on ideology instead of law and they're locked in for life.
Do you seriously believe the electorate that put a twice-impeached money-laundering fraud-committing sexually predatory convicted felon in the White House would do a better job with judges? And Supreme Court justices can be impeached and removed: not by this Congress, but the mechanism is there.
The twice-impeached, money-laundering, fraud-committing, sexually predatory convicted felon is…uh…the reason three Justices sit on the current bench. And two more are thanks to two different Bushes, including the one that happens to be a war criminal. But go on about these mechanisms.
Again, each POTUS only got to appoint a couple justices out of 9: where would be if we'd been electing justices at the same time? We consistently fail to vote wisely. Giving us more opportunities to f*ck things up is no improvement. Start by electing better people in Congress.
It comes back to checks and balances; if we vote only one party into office, with one agenda, we negate the system's design. We ended up here because we elected a Legislative branch that is unwilling to oppose the Executive. Adding judges to the ballot doesn't mitigate that.
Good ide', wrong specie
Cook💪🏾
Stop trying to pivot, please god. Just say the bad thing is bad like the rest of us, you're not nearly as clever as you think you are and are just giving annoying\outright evil anti-lib types ammo

He also bought millions in municipal bonds and stands to collect a fortune if they lower rates. Corruption. So, do something about it.
So basically, the lower courts will uphold it, and the Supreme Court will overturn it to allow Trump to fire her.
And you wont do jack shit
He's not looking for a scapegoat, he wants to control the Fed, largely, I think, because he thinks they can cushion any economic pain from his policies, but mostly because he's a straight up dictator. You have to start talking about him in those terms.
trumpism dies 💖
" any court that follows the law will overturn it." Ah, you cleverly left out the Supreme Septic Six.
On your watch DOGE has stolen our SSA data and Chuck Borges just blew the whistle What are you and Chuck S. gonna do about it ???????????
Trump cannot fire Lisa Cook.
People, when is enough, enough. We need to shut down the united states and I mean now !!!!! Trump is killing all of us and yes, that means you maga fucks !!!
Think of all the times he inflated the cost of his properties or deflated them to get a better “deal.”
There are 2 claims here that are wrong & misrepresent the issue. 1) Trump did not fire Lisa Cook. He cannot fire her. 2) The law cannot overturn it. They cannot overturn something that legally did not and cannot happen. Stop accepting Trump's framing. It's not reality.
Because accusations involving a mortgage application? That's rich coming from Trump given all that he's done.
Let’s hope so Senator Warren. I just don’t have the faith in our judicial system anymore. Even if the judiciary tells Trump he cannot do this, how are they going to stop him. He hasn’t followed what any court has told him yet. He finds ways around the law. IMHO
They better…he will collapse our entire economy!
🤬🤬🤬🤬
Senator he's just being a dictator. It's that simple. He's a dictator. Say it out loud.
And write ut in the media
Ms. Cook needs to fight this.
so senator warren, what are you doing about it instead of posting on social media? aren’t you a whole US senator?
Since he has no power to do that, I would just trash the letter and carry on. 😐
If the crazy guy on tells me I am fired, I don’t go to court to overturn it, I just ignore him because he doesn’t have the power to fire me. I don’t see how this is any different
He’ll turn the US into a tinpot dictatorship soon
West Russia
And now ask about those Epstein files, Senator Warren.
Don't wait for the courts to overturn it; the Senate needs to push back against this heavily. Open an investigation into Trump's interference with the Federal Reserve. Pressure your Republican colleagues to refuse to confirm any appointments to the Federal Reserve until Lisa Cook is reinstated.
More bull crap from the orange anus. He’s needed to be stopped for a multitude of things. RELEASE ALL OF THE EPSTEIN FILES
Have you been following the courts lately?
We have been invaded by a foreign power with Rump as figurehead. He's freeing all the criminals who are destroying America. Muks is plundering everything including our data, to bring us down. Do not give power, authority or any credence to anyone associated with them. Arrest & detain the TRAITORS
I’m calling out every single fucking politician that is not in the fucking streets and radio personalities and everybody else too because it’s the only fucking way to solve this so get off your fucking ass and get into the fucking streets with crowds of people
Racist on purpose. Black folks have heard this music before. It is as old as our country.
Drumpf needs to go to the gym.
Krugman with all the receipts. There’s a reason Cook is saying she’s not going anywhere.
Any court that follows the law... sigh. If only.
The law doesn’t matter to either the Supreme Court or the “administration”.
…and what a coincidence…she is a black woman…the group he loves the most to disparage and be racist towards…
Not the Supreme Court. Any other options to hand?
“Failure” implies that he tried. I think the word choice there is “refusal”
The Supreme Court is, obviously, compromised. There are no consequences any more.
Time for the Circuit Courts to deny their legitimacy then. They have that power.
👓: He owns the courts, Liz. He's bought and sold them to the highest bidder. SCOTUS rubber-stamps his little totalitarian schemes without so much as an explanation why anymore. The levers of justice are jammed with him in charge.
Nixon was forced to resign for less.
He is trying to create distractions from the Epstein files.
You democrats have been on a hell of a losing streak when it comes to suing Trump. The Fed is playing political games and hurting the American people by refusing to lower interest rates. Something you supported until Harris lost the election. YOU are an enemy of the American people.
Agree - democrats playing by the laws of our democracy have been losing since we are dealing with an authoritarian regime. The Fed isn’t playing games, it’s responding to the tariffs, rising inflation, serious increasing unemployment rates & now a MAGA appointee responsible for reporting the numbers
God forbid he should do something sensible like knock off the tariff bs.
EVERY member of congress should file orders of impeachment NOW.
Trump will eventually cause so much damage that enough Republicans will find unacceptable. He has no self limit. The question is, how much damage are they willing to accept? inflation like Venezuela death of free market by SOEs arrest of dissidents security failures leading to attacks on US etc
We have been invaded by a foreign power with Rump as figurehead. He's freeing all the criminals who are destroying America. Muks is plundering everything including our data, to bring us down. Do not give power, authority or any credence to anyone associated with them. Arrest & detain the TRAITORS
It's a transparent racist witch hunt -- where are the black leaders?
😂😂. She was incompetent and the Fed is fucking over the people for political reasons. ALL YOU DO IS LIE POCAHONTAS
I went shopping at Kroger's today. Meet prices have gone threough the roof. Tangerini promised to lower grocery prices and the onlt thing he has done is to raise them.
I see what you did there. Nicely put. When SCOTUS doesn’t follow the law, call them out
Well we should shutdown Congress by blocking all action when back in recess @adamsmith.house.gov @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov
It’s fascism. Trump is a Nazi dictator. Use the correct terminology.
Your last sentence Sen. Warren would be my greatest concern. Although there are courts that continue to uphold the rule of law, Trump has too often found a way to ‘tip the scales of justice.’ No doubt he will continue to try.
He may want to fire her but doesn’t have the authority 😐
He should just decree that more is less And half the population will agree
We are all sick of Trump. We want him stopped. Simple as that!
you were only going to spend that money on white phosphorous and nerve gas to kill the innocent Hamas
Convicted real estate fraud lectures about financial honesty My hypocrisy meter just broke down in tears and begged for euthanasia The real reason he's firing her is b/c Cook votes with Powell keeping rates stable, not lower like he wants
It is an authoritarian power grab. So what the hell are Dems going to do about it? Court orders & laws are ignored, our rights are being revoked, fascism is front & center. what's being done to slow/stop this authoritarian takeover? Do Dems in power have any plan beyond platitudes & thumb twiddling?
And you can start using its true name : FACISM
1000%
“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” - Thomas Jefferson To keep tyranny in check rebellions were and still are necessary.

She's a Black woman, Senator.

So, not the Supreme Court since 6 of the 9 don't follow the law.
He not only failed to lower prices, he went out of his way to raise prices
Yeah, those courts have been doing such a great job checking unchecked power. You are delusional. Sorry.
The problem isn't just Donald Trump the convicted 34-count felon, a convicted sexual abuser, a proven well-documented liar & a proven lifelong racist. The Democrats need to wakeup & realize that the entire GOP is in on the destruction of America Democracy. Stop listening to GOP members whining.
You do realize that the conservative majority members of the SCOTUS are as corrupt as trump don’t you?
And it's probably also a racist act. He seems to be targeting black leaders whenever possible.
It's also a distraction to shift the conversation from releasing the entire unredacted Epstein files.
Targeting black people in every aspect.
Yes, but who’s going to hold him accountable?
What if everyone just ignored him? That would put an end to all of this quickly.

Such a surprise that it's a black woman that got fired. /s ✅ What to Know About the Alleged Trump 'N-Word Tape' | Snopes.com www.snopes.com/news/2024/05...
What court? She's not fired. Why are people pretending she is? Let the little President write his memos, they don't mean anything.
Unfortunately we have the Roberts Court. They'll probably even overrule their own craven dicta.
Miller and Trump...
Accurate
Yes, and I see that she is a black woman. He's a racist. I'm sure that has something to do with the decision also. #LisaCook
Trump’s Tariffs and Economy of Uncertainty Are Already Causing Pain Trump’s policies are squeezing Americans’ finances at every turn—from higher prices for at the grocery store, to new tariffs plaguing small business owners, to smaller paychecks in workers’ pockets. tcf.org/content/comm...
But if they dont follow the law? Who defends her, InRealLife
We can't wait on the courts overturning things though.
Please look into trumps residence claim. Mar a Lago is a club, not a residence. I am not a lawyer, but someone should check this out.
Someone better file a lawsuit on this and FAST!
Senator be careful it’s the Orange Man Supreme Court and it is not going to stop there✊✊✊✊✊✊✊✊
could you once, only ONCE, try to attack trump without saying the atrocious and dangerous things he does are a distraction, from whatever? seriously, what's wrong with all of you. is this a compulsion neurosis?
A felon convicted on 34 counts of falsifying records firing someone for allegedly falsifying records is the definition of irony. @cnn @cnbc @bloomberg @nytimes @warren.senate.gov you should be repeating over and over again that Trump IS a convicted felon. Why is nobody talking about this anymore?
Your last qualifying phrase is so chilling, the very crux of the matter.
So not the Supreme Court then?
The Supreme Court must be on his side in the end. This is bound to happen.
Distraction! WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES? Trump is a #POS #PedophileOldSenile Those files must have some insane stuff about him.
Collectively you voted for this. If you didn’t vote last November, you voted for this just as much as MAGA voted for this. The world is watching as you descend into darkness. We will not come with you. 🇦🇺
I pray to every possible deity that you are right. I’m terrified by what it would mean were this be allowed to stand.
From your lips....I don't think we can rely on "courts" anymore...
Have the the DEMS not noticed the tactics? Trump & cronies break the law from so many angles every day so that the DEMS are running around like chickens with no heads trying to combat one fire after the next. Meanwhile MAGA had an organized plan and implemented in front of our faces. We NEED a plan!
Stop with the “authoritarian power grab” and start using the word fascism because this is it.
It’s sad that we now need to qualify “any court THAT FOLLOWS THE LAW” since many of them, including the Supreme Court, don’t bother to follow the law, uphold the law, or apply it equally.
We're running low on courts that uphold the rule of law. Would be nice if Dems had put up a fight, but now we're all fucked.
Elizabeth don't let him get away with it. We need to appeal to the military NOW get them on the side of democracy before they fall into the arms of the fascists #ThisIsWhatFascismLooksLike
Interesting yeah, surprising not at all
Looks like it’s all over. Need to move on from denial to actually doing something. Need a trigger. See how he responds and then how the public responds. Seems the only way.
We know. What is congress doing about it?
He’s attempting to manipulate the bond market. He owns about $100 million high interest bonds. He wants to flip them. A Senator who isn’t corrupt would be calling for impeachment by now. He’s committed treason twice in the past week. By levying war against us. By providing aid & comfort to Putin.
It’s certainly sad that all the Republicans congress people have conflated their Christian faith with entitlement to steal control of the U.S. gov.
Humanity will be so better when this fucking monstrosity is DEAD! Oh, and please make sure triple shot. The World.
Firing Lisa Cook will raise prices Trump is forcing the Federal Reserve to follow inflationary policies
Start calling for impeachment. Daily
Well since the SCOTUS does not follow the law and are firmly in the 🍊🤡 corner it’s a moot point
“That follows the law” is a major qualifier these days. The Roberts court will go down in infamy for its ceaseless capitulation to authoritarian rule that has enabled the collapse of the constitution
guess you forgot who most the courts suck up to.
Why are you legitimizing this dog shit? She refused to resign and you should be educating people that this is invalid
She should refuse to leave.
She is. As of 15 minutes ago.
apnews.com/live/donald-...
YIPPEEEEE! ✊️
In other news, the world is on fire.
*that follows the law
The whole point of Fed independence is that presidents can’t just toss people out. Cook should stay put.
How long before he appoints himself the Chair of the Fed? You KNOW it's coming.
Even if the court follows the law, the ruling will be ignored. He wants an economic crash and civil war. The goal is complete destruction of the American way of life. His goal is to please Putin. Your R elected colleagues are 100% on board with it. Why? What do they get out of this?
Ma'am. It has nothing to do with his "failure to lower costs" and everything to do with "controlling the Fed" as it's one of the few independent and so far uncompromised parts of the Executive. You and your establishment friends are obsessed with this "distraction" nonsense. It is the thing it is.
Its corruption, and gaslighting, fright for represalia, and as time goes by, fright for the punnishment when orangeguru is dead and burried, and everyone knows that will be the next
can you please find a court that will follow the law? struggling on this point.
SCOTUS follow Stare Decisis 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
no this is a means to commandeer the fed so they can turn on the printing press while we enter a depression then it all will be for sale and can be bought with cheap money
How I long for the days of "any court that follows the law."
Said Mr. Tax-and-Bank-Loan Fraud.
Will legal or Congressional action be taken?
Sen. Warren is a bullshit artist,she let venture capitalists run a public option insurer, squander $100M’s resign with a 2.5 million success fee,now refuses to hear complaints from members or constituents harmed by Commonwealth Care Alliance’s collapse.
Sen. Warren, stop ignoring systemic abuses at Commonwealth Care Alliance. Members are silenced, denied care, and abandoned. Your refusal to hear complaints makes you the 2nd biggest BS artist in the Senate, protect patients, not failed executives. #MassHealth #Accountability
If he manages to get the Fed to drop rates that’s going to spike inflation.
The real 🎯 is Powell and everyone knows it. Cook will of course file a lawsuit which is what Trump wants. He wants the ability to fire the Fed BoG and he is using this as the test case. Looking at one of the most important cases in US history.
SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!!
Thanks for the impotent update.
I think we all know the Supreme Court does not follow the law
Get rid of him
Felon45-47: “A lot of people are saying maybe we’d like a dictator.” He is absolutely admitting it now. To CONGRESS: FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FUCKING NAZI.... NOW !!!!!!
Fire Chuck Schumer. Find someone that actually wants to oppose fascism.
So, like a 1 in 4 chance SCOTUS will block this, then
3 in 9 chance.
No. One. Buys. It.
So, you're saying we are well and truly forked...
How can the news media not see these patterns and NOT speak about Black Slave Descendants especially Black women are being target starting with the president of Harvard University?
Is she really fired if he doesn’t have the authority to do so?
You appointed any non-Maggat judges lately, Senator?
Elizabeth, I adore you. We know what’s going on. We need you and your friends to stand up!!!
Trump wants to cover-up all statistics (& investigations of him) that are NOT presenting HIM in a positive light. So he wants to destroy evidence & fire the statisticians & investigators into his illegal & unconstitutional acts. Trump wants to be his own boss & make up his OWN statistics & "facts".
Trump is delusional & he's getting worse. Trump is sitting in his Ivory Tower making decisions based on his delusions. He's treating reality as if it's a video game or some "reality" TV show. Reminds me of the novel. "ENDERS GAME" only Ender is a skilled genius, whereas Trump is an incompetent fool.
Ender thinks he is playing a video game of war against the aliens, but he does NOT realize that he is actually partaking in an act of REAL war.
The 2013 movie trailer based on the novel "Ender's Game" starring Harrison Ford: youtu.be/vP0cUBi4hwE?...
Nope, he is a pedophile who does not want to be caught. Destroying the economy is why his base elected him… they just don’t know it yet.
NO, he fired her to take control of the Fed and because he's a racist asshole Elizabeth.
How long before Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries call this another "distraction"?
And Schumer will use many more words than that.
Key words “courts that follow the law”, we shall see. 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you, Senator Warren!
He didn't write that. It's too coherent.
Trump doesn’t have the power to eject a member of staff of the federal reserve. Trump thinks he does, but he doesn’t. Trump is trying to yet again break the law, by using a racial attack on a black woman to get her out of office. He will fail massively
