This is going to be a cheap holiday for the people. Inflation has been tamed and with lowering fuel prices Trump is countering the [CB] inflation. Fed Bostic is retiring which will leave an opening for Trump, slowly but surely is gaining control over the Fed. Trump is taking back control of the economy. The [DS] tried everything to take Trump down and it has failed.

They took the bait and now they have started the Epstein narrative. Attacks will intensify against Trump team, when the time is right he will strike like a thunderbolt.   Economy Target reduces prices on 3,000 groceries and essentials Target announced Tuesday it is lowering prices on 3,000 food, beverage and essential items, though prices could vary by location and online. This is the latest in a string of initiatives the retailer has rolled out to offer shoppers lower prices. The retailer also announced a $500,000 donation to Feeding America to support its hunger relief efforts amid increased demand at food banks. Lowering prices on thousands of items that shoppers frequently buy “will make a difference for families managing tight household budgets during the holidays,” Lisa Roath, chief merchandising officer of food, essentials and beauty at Target, said in the announcement. The press release noted it will not reduce prices in Alaska and Hawai'i. The price cuts build on Target's growing affordability efforts as the holiday season arrives. The retailer highlighted in the Tuesday announcement its lowest price ever for a Thanksgiving meal, which the retailer unveiled earlier this month. The meal feeds four for less than $5 per person and includes a Good & Gather turkey that costs 79 cents per pound.

Our MiniPod this week is inspired by one of your questions. Should we attend the No Kings protest? How do we maximize our political power through other methods besides voting? We’ll hear some personal testimony from Andrew about what it means to folks like Letitia James and Lisa Cook, and all the folks being unjustly targeted by the Trump administration, about what it means to see folks protesting the same system that’s grinding them down.

On this week’s SoloPod, Angela Rye breaks down the charges against New York’s Attorney General Letitia “Tish” James, and connects them to a larger pattern of powerful Black women being unjustly prosecuted. SPEAKING OF DISRESPECT TO BLACK WOMEN, our NLP hosts called out Stephen A Smith last week for his comments disparaging Congresswomen Jasmine Crocket over her lack of “civility.” Stephen accused his critics, including our hosts, of attacking him without substance. Sir, these attacks have substance, and we are happy to explain. The Trump Justice Department has charged Letitia James with mortgage fraud, the same charge they’ve brought against Lisa Cook and other “enemies” of Trump. As New York AG, Letitia James successfully prosecuted the Trump family for financial crimes back in 2022 by showing proof that Trump over-inflated his net worth for tax and insurance benefits.

As we navigate the complex world of court trials involving Donald Trump, the landscape is both fascinating and contentious. Over the past few days, several key legal challenges have emerged, setting the stage for a pivotal term in the Supreme Court.One of the most significant cases is *Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc.*, which has been consolidated with another case for briefing and oral argument. This case, filed by Donald Trump, President of the United States, et al., against V.O.S. Selections, Inc., et al., was docketed on September 4, 2025. The petition for a writ of certiorari was granted, and the case is set for argument in the first week of November 2025[1]. This case is part of a broader series of legal challenges involving Trump, highlighting his efforts to expand executive power and the numerous lawsuits resisting these actions.Another case that has garnered attention is *Trump v. Slaughter*, which will be argued in December 2025. This case involves the firing of a Federal Trade Commissioner and raises critical questions about presidential removal power. Specifically, it challenges the precedent set by *Humphrey's Executor v. United States*, which restricted the president's ability to remove agency heads without good cause. Trump has argued that this decision was incorrect, advocating for a "unitary executive" theory that grants the president broader authority over the executive branch[2].In addition to these high-profile cases, Trump is also facing challenges in *Trump v. Cook*, which concerns the removal of Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on this matter, focusing on whether the president has the power to fire governors of the Federal Reserve, who are appointed for 14-year terms and can only be removed for cause[2]. This case is particularly significant because it involves an institution that is often seen as operating independently of direct presidential control.These cases reflect a broader trend of legal challenges to Trump's executive actions, with many involving national security and constitutional issues. The Trump administration is currently embroiled in nearly 300 active cases, with a significant portion of these reaching the Supreme Court on its emergency docket[3]. The court's decisions on these matters will have profound implications for the future of presidential power and the checks and balances within the U.S. system.As we watch these trials unfold, it becomes clear that this term of the Supreme Court will be critical in shaping American democracy. The balance between executive authority and judicial oversight is being tested, and the outcomes will have lasting impacts on the rule of law and institutional norms.Thank you for tuning in today.

Hans is joined by E.J. Antoni, Heritage's chief economist and a leading expert on the federal budget, explains the Federal Reserve, its problems and effects on our banking system and the economy, and the case over the firing of Reserve member Lisa Cook by Pres. Trump that is now before the Supreme Court. The classic movie review is of “It's a Wonderful Life,” the 1947 Frank Capra Christmas movie in which one of the essential plot elements is a bank run on the small building and loan run by Jimmy Stewart.

Both his lawyer and the judge appear set on moving rapidly to trial, and the government is rushing to be ready. We discuss the motions it sounds like Comey's legal team will file, which likely will be helped by the message from the president demanding Comey's prosecution that does really appear to have been intended as a private message for Attorney General Pam Bondi.Plus: we discuss Sean Combs' sentence and how to lobby for a lenient sentence when your client is very fortunate and prominent, without sounding like you're saying the rich and famous deserve to get off easy.Paying subscribers get that and much more (upgrade your subscription at serioustrouble.show):* A look at an unexpected criminal complaint about the highly destructive Palisades Fire, in which federal prosecutors allege that an Uber driver set a smaller fire that begat the major fire.* Temporary restraining orders in the case over Trump's effort to deploy national guard troops to Portland, and what appeals courts are likely to do with them.* What to make of Supreme Court's choice to finally take on the Lisa Cook case, and the procedural split it is likely to emphasize among the court's conservative justices as they ponder what to do with the special, unique, quasi-private institution in a long historical tradition that is the Federal Reserve.* A lengthy and forceful appeals court ruling upholding birthright citizenship.* Another vindictive prosecution claim that has legs, this time from Kilmar Abrego Garcia.* And a Kardashian-Jenner-Ray-J RICO-defamation case. Wow!

Aaron Klein, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, explains how the Supreme Court is likely to react to President Trump's efforts to fire Fed Gov. Lisa Cook, and what it means for the central bank's future as well as monetary policy. Klein also details how crypto is fighting banks' attempt to prevent stablecoins from paying interest or rewards.

In a live conversation on YouTube, Lawfare Editor in Chief Benjamin Wittes sat down with Lawfare Senior Editors Scott Anderson, Anna Bower, Eric Columbus, and Roger Parloff to discuss a hearing in the litigation over the National Guard deployment in Portland, states suing the federal government over immigration enforcement conditions being placed on emergency management federal grants, federal employees unions challenging expected reductions in force during the government shutdown, the Supreme Court allowing Lisa Cook to stay on as Fed governor for now, and more.You can find information on legal challenges to Trump administration actions here.

David Waldman is out introspecting today, as his Days of Awe end and our days of awful begin. A hidden conservative network bankrolls right-wing news. A dark money group is secretly funding Democratic influencers. Clearly, Mr. Waldman needs to get out more and make some more friends. Whether you were “politically correct”, “woke”, or “pinko”, the Right has always wanted you to shut up. Government has ended; Donald K. Trump burns the crops and salts the earth. Federal workers know who to blame but are told to blame the others. Lisa Cook remains at the Federal Reserve Board as her office window is just too low to throw her out of. E.J. Antoni however, can't run the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, now that people found out what an asshole he is, and since “statistics” have been added to the Trump enemies list.

Will make the case to raise rates and this way the Fed can use this as why they are not lowering the rates.8 billion of the green new scam has been cancelled. Trump calls out Powell, letting everyone know he is an obstructionist. Powell is interfering on purpose. The [DS] is destroying themselves by telling the American public that they want illegals to get health insurance. Is this a cover story to keep the Government shutdown long enough to try to get ICE, National Guard to abandon their posts. No matter what the D's do there is no coming back from this. Trump is now prepositioning the National Guard in the cities where Antifa operates or is shipped into. All this is being done for the insurrection that is coming to America.   Economy Eurozone inflation rises over 2% target  Annual inflation in the euro area rose to 2.2% in September, up from 2.0% in August and the highest level since April, n . Among inflation's key drivers, services led the pack with a 3.2% annual increase, up slightly from 3.1% in August, according to statistics body Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.

In a stunning upset and breaking news, the Supreme Court couldn't find 5 votes among the MAGA 6 to destroy the Federal Reserve's independence just yet, and for now has rejected Trump's efforts to remove Democratic-appointed Lisa Cook from the Fed Board of Governors without due process or proper reason, and will keep her in the job at least until the Court has oral argument and full briefing in January 2026 or beyond. Michael Popok explains how this ruling, although temporary, actually helps her case factually and legally.

Now, the government will try to prove he lied to Congress when he said he never “authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports” about the investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails, even though he had, in fact, authorized “Person 3” to do this. But — who will prosecutors say Comey did authorize?That's our conversation for free listeners. Paying subscribers also get our conversation about:* The Trump administration's motion for the Supreme Court to issue a stay letting them kick Lisa Cook off the Federal Reserve Board for now, and the ways the court may try to avoid having to weigh in on the exact special, unique historical nature that makes the Federal Reserve special, unique, and not subject to the decision it's surely about to issue overturning Humphrey's Executor;* The guilty verdict against Ryan Routh and a judge's admonishment of prosecutors in the case against Luigi Mangione;* What legal exposure Tom Homan could have faced if he really accepted $50,000 cash in a Cava bag; and* Updates on Trump's try-hard defamation litigation against the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.

Trump is forcing the resignation of the US Attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia because he wouldn't indict the New York Attorney General Leticia James for mortgage fraud. Another January 6th rioter is suing the Department of Justice. There's no proof that Federal Reserve Board governor Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud in Michigan.

To combat another terrible news cycle for Trump, he had his DOJ finally get around to filing their “emergency” appeal through the dreaded Shadow Docket to the Supreme Court to try for the 3rd time to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her 14-year tenured position so that Trump can gain control of the Fed's rate-setting mechanism. Michael Popok takes a hard look at the new filing, including its reliance on Trump's criminal immunity decision and its ignoring the Supreme Court's decision in May that protects Lisa Cook from just such a firing.

PREVIEW: HEADLINE: Trump's Abnormal Attempt to Fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve GUEST NAME: Richard Epstein SUMMARY: Richard Epstein discusses the Trump administration bypassing normal legal process to fire Lisa Cookfrom the Federal Reserve Board. This abnormal approach avoids establishing facts or cause. 1940

Tonight on The Last Word: The House Oversight Committee interrogates FBI Director Kash Patel on Jeffrey Epstein. Also, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says it's “impossible” to say if Ghislaine Maxwell is credible. Plus, Treasury Secy. Scott Bessent reportedly made the very same mortgage loan pledges the Trump admin. has accused Fed Gov. Lisa Cook of making. And RFK Jr.'s competency as the HHS secretary is called into question. Rep. Eric Swalwell, Andrew Weissmann, and Sen. Ed Markey join Lawrence O'Donnell. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

A mini-Epstein-Trump documentary video is projected on Windsor Castle as Trump and Melania arrive for their Royal Visit; Kash Patel is greeted with a Legal AF Video as he's cross examined about Epstein in the House Judiciary Committee; Pam Bondi's law school education is questioned by Justice Sotomayor; Lisa Cook is still on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and votes on rates as Trump loses again; Dr. Monarez testifies that RFK Jr. effectively ordered her to lie about the anti-vax recommendations of the CDC's board; and Trump sets himself up for a big federal sanction for bad faith failing against The NY Times. Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo join forces to brief our audience on these burning issues and so much more on the top rated Legal AF podcast.

President Donald Trump has been pressuring the Federal Reserve from a few angles. So we wanted to look at other examples of political pressure on central banks, to see what it might mean for us and for the economy. Enter the watchers. The people who've had their eyes trained on central banks all over the world, for years, notebooks out, scribbling down their observations. They've been trying to gauge just how independent of political pressure central banks actually are – and what happens when a central bank loses that independence. Today on the show, we sidle up next to three of the leading central bank watchers, to watch what they're watching.Further reading:- Carolina Garriga's: Revisiting Central Bank Independence in the World: An Extended Dataset- Lev Menand's: A New Measure of Central Bank Independence- Carola Binder's: Political Pressure on Central BanksFurther listening:- Lisa Cook and the fight for the Fed- A primer on the Federal Reserve's independence- The case for Fed independence in the Nixon tapes- A Locked Door, A Secret Meeting And The Birth Of The FedSubscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.This episode was produced by Willa Rubin with help from Sam Yellowhorse Kesler.

The Federal Reserve has been under intense pressure from President Donald Trump as he pushes for more control over the historically independent agency. The Fed is tasked with keeping inflation and unemployment under control, and it's supposed to be insulated from politics so it can do whatever is necessary for the economy. But Trump has been openly saying he wants interest rates to be lower. A lot lower.And on Monday, Trump posted a bombshell. He said that he was removing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, “for cause.” Lisa Cook has told NPR she intends to remain in office, and is now suing Trump. On today's show: inside the Fed Board of Governors. How realistic is a plan to control monetary policy through loyalists on the Board? We hear from former Board governors to understand what the job is, and what we might be in for. Further listening on the Fed and Fed independence: - A primer on the Federal Reserve's independence - Happy Fed Independence Day - The case for Fed independence in the Nixon tapes - A Locked Door, A Secret Meeting And The Birth Of The Fed - Trump's unprecedented attack on the Fed - Turkey's runaway inflation problem  - Should presidents have more of a say in interest rates?Listen free at these links: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Find more Planet Money: Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.Help support Planet Money and hear our bonus episodes by subscribing to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/planetmoney.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
