Sen. Warren on Trump's attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook:
"The illegal attempt to fire Lisa Cook is the latest example of a desperate President searching for a scapegoat ... It's an authoritarian power grab that blatantly violates the Federal Reserve Act, and must be overturned in court."
Does it even need to go to court? Firing a Fed governor isn’t even a thing.
Please look into when Trumps loans are due & what their interest rate will be and why he’s willing to increase inflation for a lower interest rate
Illegal, yes. But doesn't say enough. Add racist, sexist and cause completely fabricated. Then fascist takeover. Call this asshole out for what he is
she's right but at least 5 MAGA Justices will use Calvinball jurisprudence to contort themselves into allowing Trump to get away with this.
@warren.senate.gov With respect senator but…
Show where it states in the federal reserve act that it’s illegal, because strong words ain’t cutting it anymore.
This won’t do anything either but thanks for bringing the spoon. 🤦🏻♂️
It doesn't have to be overturned in court - it's meaningless. He can't do it. She comes to work tomorrow just like yesterday. Unless she complies in advance, which I think she's smart enough not to do.
African American woman and first woman of color to sit on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Of course, Trump fired her.
I am sure it is a complete coincidence that Lisa Cook is the first black woman appointed to the board of the Fed.
Another female, person of color.
Comment by Howard Lutnik (a walking garbage can): “if this woman committed mortgage fraud, she should be respectful to the United States of America, to the Federal Reserve, where she says she cared about them, and she should go off into the sunset and hope to God the police don’t follow her, right?”
Release All the Epstein files!
Aa much as we loathe Trump, this is where the human reminds people not to under question connected political people. The human investigated mortgage fraud in the early 2000s and multiple primary residences was a common MO, often suggested by mortgage brokers and loan officers.
Where are the DEMS to impeach him on all these 'authoritarian power grabs'? The person to do this will probably be our next President.
There should be harsh consequences for such illegal action by a person in such a trustedposition. Yet daily, his illegal actions are ignored.
Under the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, Fed governors are protected from arbitrary dismissal and may only be removed “for cause”, such as misconduct, not for political reasons or policy disagreements! Another impeachable offense!
Sure, because he cares about the courts
SCOTUS will allow it.
The economy is so bad that he has to lower the interest rates, but it's the strongest economy in history!
Make it make sense.
Please.
He’s not looking for a scapegoat, he’s trying to take over the Fed, plain and simple.
What this is really about...
Why does it need to be “overturned” if it’s beyond authority in the first place?
I don’t have high hopes if this goes all the way to the supreme court. The Roberts’ court. The red supreme court. A majority with six right-wing justices at the service of Donald Trump.
Sue the son of a bitch
Now in German news: A big turmoil is awaited at the finance market in Germany. This is already happening in Asia. His decision is bringing the inflation to a new high! The political pressure on the Fed is unacceptable!
Release the Epstein files.
In court? Huh. That'd be a change, for sure...
A felon convicted on 34 counts of falsifying records firing someone for allegedly falsifying records is the definition of irony.
@cnn @cnbc @bloomberg @nytimes you should be repeating over and over again that Trump IS a convicted felon. Why is nobody talking about this anymore?
Just saw a photo of Ms. Cook. Of course she is a women of color. Two of fathead's favorite things to demean, assault and toss away. I am not even surprised anymore.
And it's another example of his targeting a person of color. #RacistInChief

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
It’s not worthy of taking to court… other than to prosecute the perpetrator (the Hunchback of Mar-a-Lago).
Fu on you @warren.senate.gov
It's a Nazi act
Release the #Epsteinfiles
📌
If SCOTUS upholds this illegal action, what will it do to chip away at or smash its legitimacy?
It’s time for Jerome Powell, Phillip Jefferson, Michelle Bowman, Michael Barr, Christopher Waller to SPEAK OUT! They have a responsibility. They are the OTHER BOARD MEMBERS.
This is what happens when bigoted evangelical Christians in Tennessee and Putin advise a cowardly criminal.
She just so happens to be……..
The fascist felon CANNOT do this!
LET'S CALL A SPADE A SPADE SHALL WE? TRUMP FIRED LISA COOK BECAUSE SHE'S BLACK. DISGUSTING, ABHORRENT, ILLEGAL.
