President Trump says he has removed Lisa Cook from the board of governors of the Federal Reserve, an action that will be seen as undermining the independence of America's central bank.
@w7voa Come on, Steve. "will be seen as undermining the independence"? It _is_ undermining the independence! Surely we can say that at this point?
@w7voa GET YOUR EUROS WHILE THEY'RE CHEAP!
@w7voa Is this a coup? I don't know what else you can call it when someone illegally removes a government leader?
@lauerhahn @w7voa coup after coup after coup. The Constitution is now a shitrag for MAGAs collective asses.

@w7voa evergreen text for the foreseeable future of the US Federal Reserve.

They tell on themselves every goddamned time.

@w7voa oh boy, here comes the crash
@w7voa Another move to CONTROL 🚨☠🚨

@w7voa Yup. It’s authoritarianism.

August 2025 was when the United States fell.

@gimulnautti @w7voa exactly. We Europeans must adapt now. We are the shining city on the Hill now.

@w7voa

He doesn't have that authority under Article II or the Federal Reserve Act.

Shouldn't his staff have pointed that out?

@troy_frizzell @w7voa
Ha! Those were the days

Someone should make America ok again

The Constitution gives him as much authority to fire her as it gives me to fire him.

Dear Former President Trump: Pursuant to my authority under Article II §4 of the Constitution of the United States you are hereby removed from your position in the Government, effective immediately. The American people have a tremendous responsibility to maintain the Constitution, which you have violated nearly continuously since your second week in office, and the rule of law, which you have trampled. At minimum, the conduct at issue exhibits the sort of gross negligence…
