Fight him all the way
Just heard that Trump is bullying Budweiser to let him use the Clydesdales to pull his new gold plated carriage he is having built, just like Britain's royalty!
Donnie thinks lowering interest rates when unwarranted will help him. Look no further than to our southern neighbors in Argentina how their inflation rate was at 80%, I feel it coming
NPR had a story about Cook's research. Very interesting 1899 remains the peak year for African American patents per capita US lost out on more than 1,100 inventions from Black inventors because of violence and inequality Equivalent to patents from a medium-sized European country Racism is costly🙄
She's black and she's a woman, two classes of people that Trump hates!
Chief of KAOS needs to be taken down by Control Agent…
Don’t leave Ms. Cook. Stay!!!!!
Then there is this Mr President. Yet you have a job.
Good! And make sure he pays!!
Does she have a snowflake chance in hell of stopping this firing?!
He doesnt give a cr*p, it’s not his time or money, so he’ll just keep doing this.
The entire Country should sue his ass!!
Yes, for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Way to go Lisa Cook!!
There should be a class action lawsuit with her, the librarian of Congress and every other Black person in government wrongly fired for the color of their skin

Because they were born here or came here "the right way," they say & have citizenship, they think they'll be fine, & because they live in a blue state. I know what Trump's military is going to do & I know it's going to get really bad soon once the states don't capitulate & mine might be one of them.
I'd love to see someone put up a list of everyone with photos on social media. We need more in-your-face "evidence" to get people to wake the ef' up. It's not just race, it's location. I'm showing more fear than the black & brown people I know; they've taken their freedoms for granted, not concerned
Good news
Political punditry is a contender for most worthless profession.

Excellent. As it should be.
I'm confused. does that mean that the Fed is actually honoring the "firing". Why can't she just keep coming to work and everyone ignores this attempt to fire someone he has no authority to fire?
"Attempted" - ditto with Monarez
Honestly, I think about Trump telling his rally crowds to, "knock the Hell out of him" then promises to pay legal fees. Seems like we can do the same, no?
🤞
Thank god for smart black women who refuse to accept bullshit
Go get him, Ms. Cook.
I wish he would have to testify in court and get so upset he....you know.
Brava. This is how you do it
I admire the people who are brave enough to stand up and fight for justice, go Lisa Cook!
She doesn’t even work for trump. It’s like being fired by a rando on the street. You’re fired!
There really need to be penalties for actually breaking the law. Allowing them to ‘test boundaries’ without repercussions is asinine.
she should also sue for defamation
Wait another smart black woman is fired by trump? Gee, looks like a pattern here. He must really be afraid of women, especially minority women. What a wuss.
I hope she PREVAILS!
Promote a career criminal with no appreciation for facts or knowledge to PINO (can't be POTUS per 14th A: we all saw the insurrection he led), expect stupid criminal acts.
What’s interesting is that Powell is a defendant alongside Trump.
Government employees amaze me. Can you imagine telling your boss in the private sector that you disagree with him firing you?
Imagine millions and millions of people like you. Not only willing, but anxious to show their ignorance to the world. Trump is not her boss.
This is a whole government coup
Which comes first.. the fact that she’s a black woman or a powerful black woman in an institution he wants to wreck
Good, a dictator taking over the central bank is always a recipe for disaster.
If Trump claims the right to fire Lisa Cook for alleged past crimes, why can’t we the people remove him for the crimes he committed before office and was convicted of. He’s a convicted felon but here we are.
they want to destroy all American institutions. Nothing about this is ok.
Resistance. It sure looks sweet. Fear may be contagious but fierce resistance is epidemic
STRONG BLACK WOMAN trump cannot handle this!
Keep suing felon 45 POS 💩🙏⚖️🇺🇸
He has no grounds to fire her - no proven misconduct, no malfeasance, no neglect of duty, no inefficiency, “no cause.” Most glaring, he’s trying to conflate ‘mortgage fraud’ as grounds for dismissal - DJT, Convicted Felon for Falsifying Business Records, is accusing Lisa Cook of ‘mortgage fraud.’
given her firing is illegal, she should just REFUSE TO LEAVE....
Are we all just going to ignore the hypocrisy of a man with 34 felony counts conviction saying that someone suspected of committing a crime cannot hold an important government job while he is occupying the office of the president?
Her suit is crucial for answering the key question: Is there *any* line that the SCOTUS Six won't allow Trump to cross? Or is the one they set out a few months ago as dispensable as all the others they've casually blown past?
