#SCOTUS seems inclined to reject Trump’s effort to immediately oust #FederalReserve governor #LisaCook after hearing oral arguments Wednesday.
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].

Trump’s move to dismiss Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has sparked concerns over US stagflation, as experts warn that political interference could undermine the Fed’s independence, drive up long-term Treasury yields, and increase the risk of persistent inflation amid economic slowdown.

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.

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.

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.
