Why is the White House holding a hearing on Fed governor Lisa Cook now? Trump explained why in July. After the Supreme Court let Cook keep her seat while she challenges his attempt to fire her, Trump said on CNBC that the court "sent it back, not based on the merits. They sent it back on process and procedure." "So we'll start the process, and we'll do perfect process and perfect procedure," he said. The White House memo made public on Friday *is* that process. It sets a Nov. 5 closed-door hearing at the White House where Justice Department lawyers can question her in front of a three-member committee of Trump appointees about allegations that have yet to result in any criminal charges. The committee then recommends whether there's "cause" to remove her. The timing is important here because the day after the White House hearing, Cook and the DOJ owe U,S. District Judge Jia Cobb a joint proposal on how her lawsuit challenging Trump's August 2025 removal effort should proceed. Cobb blocked this removal attempt last year, allowing Cook to remain on the job before the underlying dispute was adjudicated. The Supreme Court upheld that order. The underlying dispute now goes back to her. If the committee recommends removal, Trump could fire Cook again, and DOJ would argue she has now had the chance to respond that the Supreme Court and others found lacking. Cobb, and likely the appeals courts after her, would then have to decide whether "cause" had been established. The hearing could also give the administration new material to justify a removal. Even if nothing comes of it, the spectacle of a sitting Fed governor summoned to the White House for questioning sends a message to other officials the president may not be able to fire.

Trump on Russian diesel & Zelensky response

US President Trump has a meltdown after losing the Nobel Peace Prize to Indian-origin South African jurist Navi Pillay

We know Donald Trump is mentally ill but it’s time to start institutionalizing people who think he should remain in office.

Just go away already, you blowfish…

Appalling and disgusting.

Trump has declined so much in 10 years lol

That is not good folks. Something bad is about to happen. Hope everyone is ready to march.

Talarico is set to campaign this weekend after 8 days of a flu that landed him in urgent care, which we know because he did a virtual event on 9/30 where he appeared visibly ill. Perhaps this is actually a time to pray for Pratt, who's got Elon/Trump levels of Twitter brain-poison

The United States is now importing fuel from Russia, per President Trump.

This level of disinhibition really suggests that something is deeply wrong with him. He's always been nasty to women, but now it seems like he's lost all control.

This is the lowest moral point for America since slavery. Every Republican politician, every worthless fence-sitting analyst, and every person who failed to call out Trump for the evil bastard that he is remains a culprit. It’s a shit sandwich and you people all take a bite.

Literally the dumbest motherfucker on the planet.

Mike Rogers’ closing argument: His name is Abdul which means he loves terrorists

This isn’t apocalyptic. It’s just math. 10-year treasury at 6%. $40 trillion in debt. Do the math. That’s $2.4 trillion in annual interest payments. Larger than the entire Social Security disbursement. You cannot sustain that. Here’s the solution: just going back to the Clinton tax rates and making a few adjustments, you could save $10 to $12 trillion in deficit spending over the next decade and get this thing under control. No Republican is going to do that. Trump isn’t going to do that. And when Trump leaves office, he will be personally responsible for 42% of all the national debt in American history.

Pete Hegseth wants to turn an execution into a public spectacle for Americans and the world to watch. He dishonors both our nation and the position he holds. He is beyond unfit to lead the brave men and women of our Armed Forces. He must go.

Wow!!! He’s admitting he’s already rigged the midterms.

Nobody wastes more taxpayer funds than Republicans do.

To everyone BITCHING about President Zelensky hitting Russia's oil terminals, what did you expect after trump stuck a knife in his back while bowing to Putin again? REMINDER: trump bragged that he'd end that war in 24 hours. That was 628 days ago. ANOTHER trump fail.

Today, I called on the Inspector General at DOJ to investigate why the FBI modified its hiring standards to allow those who stole from an employer, paid for sex, and engaged in bestiality to work for the Bureau. If Kash Patel won’t give us answers on these hiring changes, we need someone who will.
