    the #US #economy & the #independence of the nation’s #CentralBank are at stake in the case.

    #Trump has been highly critical of what he sees as the slow pace of #InterestRate reductions by the #Fed under the leadership of Chair #JeromePowell [because he wants it to appear as if the economy is doing well, even if it isn’t].

  13. people seem unaware that Bill Pulte, #Trump’s head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (#FHFA) & the guy who accused #Fed Chair #LisaCook of #mortgage fraud, is/was a major player in the cult of Bed Bath and Beyond stock (ticker #BBBY, and yes, that’s a real thing).

    pulte's maybe even worse than a crypto grifter. there’s a great doc "Cult of the Dead Stock" about the situation. i actually think it’s kind of a rosetta stone for understanding the world in 2025.

    tl;dr after BBBY blew up a cult grew up around the idea that BBBY would somehow come back from the dead and make BBBY shareholders (whose shares no longer even existed - DTCC deleted them) rich. pulte, whose family business was in trouble, swooped in to the scene to convince the BBBY cultists to give him their money. he was at least somewhat successful.

  18. AFL-CIO: 'Alarming escalation' by #Trump

    The #AFLCIO, the US's biggest #labor federation, criticized Trump’s attempted firing of #LisaCook, calling it "an alarming escalation of his attack on #independent federal agencies that working people’s #jobs & livelihoods depend on" in a statement on Tuesday.

    The group represents dozens of labor #unions & over 15 million people.

  19. The #Trump war on the #FederalReserve continues with the purported and legally questionable firing of #LisaCook

    Trump’s goals
    - gain control of TheFed and lower interest rates which should only be done when #inflation is low and the #economy needs stimulus
    - 👆weakens the dollar which #crypto fantasists hope will create a movement towards their crappy digital assets and their #DeDollarization dreams
    - keep the #Whitism MAGA folks happy by attacking a black woman

  20. A specialist in #international #economics who has researched #racial disparities in #labor, #LisaCook was a professor at
    Michigan State University when President #Biden appointed her to the #Fed board in 2022.

    …One of the most prominent #Black #women in a field long dominated by #white #men, Ms. Cook has been an advocate for #diversity in economics. She helped lead the AEA’s summer program, which helps prepare #students from #underrepresented backgrounds for grad programs in #SocialScience.

  21. In attacking #LisaCook, the FIRST #Black #woman to EVER serve as a #Fed governor, both #Trump & Pulte signaled anew their willingness to #weaponize the instruments of government to #influence monetary #policy, even though experts long have warned that interfering with the Fed & its #independence could bring about catastrophic economic & financial consequences.
