David Waldman surfs into Summer Weekend Chaos™ on today's gnarly KITM. Donald K. Trump hasn't had a new thought cross his mind in decades. He has spent the last decade perseverating his past into our present. Magnets, how do they work? Don't ask Donald, he wants them returned back to steam catapults on aircraft carriers, as he just knows that they were always meant to be. Only saps say, "You gotta go with magnets!" Finland's president sold Trump icebreaking ships back in '92 and Donald finally has the big, beautiful billions to buy them. Having Trump's name uttered in the same breath as that of John F. Kennedy's is the primary, if not sole, objective of the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. The Trump administration will never give up on hassling Lisa Cook at the Federal Reserve, no matter what the Supreme Court says. The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel is looking towards the future, however, by declaring that Trump can assert executive privilege over any person he has ever talked to.
Despite rulings from the Supreme Court blocking President Trump's earlier attempt, the President is looking for different ways to fire Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve Governor. SCOTUS Blog Managing Editor Kelsey Dallas joins Inside Sources to explain what the President's trying to do differently this time around. She also explains some recent polling that finds more and more Republicans are losing confidence in the country's highest court.
Could this have been the worst week among dozens of “worst weeks” for Trump and his Administration even with his AG pick getting confirmed? Find out on the Legal AF Podcast with Ben and Popok why Trump issues unconstitutional executive orders, irrational social media posts, and files hopeless lawsuits “in his personal” capacity especially in weeks where he loses dozens of court cases around the country. This week, the founders provide honest commentary about Judge Sullivan telling the DOJ and Blanche he does not believe them when it comes to the Epstein files; an appellate court telling Trump he cannot tear down the White House as we know it without Congressional authority and get away with it; the Reflecting Pool scandal serving as an indictment of the Blanche and Trump led DOJ; Trump on an epic losing streak in his favorite courthouse in Miami in 3 different cases this week; Trump flailing for relevancy in the face of abysmal job and economic numbers and poll numbers by playing his greatest hits of unconstitutional policies and conduct, including trying to fire Lisa Cook from the fed reserve again, and trying to thumb his nose at his own Supreme Court by ignoring their birthright citizenship decision; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

8.7.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:Trump White House Targets Lisa Cook Again. 23,000 Jobs Lost. Black Unemployment Gap Persists The White House is renewing its efforts to remove Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors. The job market numbers for July have been released, showing a loss of 23,000 jobs, which could indicate a slowdown ahead. Black unemployment rates continue to reflect a persistent gap compared to other racial groups. Economist Morgan Harper will join us to break down the numbers. A newly released report highlights the lack of high-quality math education for Black children. We'll speak with the author of "Calculated Barriers: Examining the History Behind Math Inequities Facing Black Students" to discuss how historical policies and structural practices hinder math literacy, college access, and opportunities in tech fields. Tennessee voters have made their voices heard. We'll break down the candidates who will be on the ballot in November. And in sad news, entertainment journalist Flo Anthony and "Ms. Dupree" from The Tom Joyner Morning Show have passed away.

The road to the USEA American Eventing Championships looks different for every rider, and this episode celebrates two unforgettable journeys. Nicole Brown sits down with AEC competitors Sarah Bryan and Lisa Cook to talk about rebuilding confidence, balancing careers and family life, overcoming setbacks, and the horses that helped them rediscover their love of eventing. From an Amish buggy horse turned championship contender to the unforgettable "Flying Potato," these stories prove that there is no single path to Kentucky—only the determination to keep moving forward. Whether you're preparing for the AEC or simply need a reminder of why you fell in love with horses, this episode is full of heart, humor, and inspiration.
This week on Fed Watch, ITR Economist and Speaker Lauren Saidel-Baker breaks down what the June jobs report is really telling us about the U.S. economy and why the headlines may not reflect the full story. She also examines the Supreme Court's decision in the Lisa Cook case, what it means for Federal Reserve independence, and why the outcome could shape future monetary policy. If you're trying to separate market noise from meaningful economic trends, this episode explains what business leaders should be watching next. What do you think will have the bigger impact on the economy: the labor market or Federal Reserve independence? Let us know in the comments.
Mary and Andrew start with a deeper dive into the Supreme Court's decision to allow the removal of Temporary Protected Status designations from over 330,000 immigrants from Haiti and Syria — a consequential ruling that affects TPS holders well beyond those who brought the case, leaving over a million people vulnerable to removal. As Andrew notes, this case was based on two claims: one being a statutory challenge that DHS didn't follow the procedures set out by Congress, and the other a constitutional equal protection claim that this TPS status removal was “motivated in part by race” — both of which were struck down 6-3. Then, a look at Trump's latest retribution efforts including the heavy sentences doled out over a protest that ended in a shooting outside the ICE Prairieland Detention Center inTexas one year ago; a felony indictment of former Olympian David Hearn for allegedly tearing part of the liner of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool; and former CIA Director John Brennan going on offense to challenge the DOJ's investigation into him. Plus, Mary and Andrew analyze the DOJ's response to a “show cause” order to unredact some of the Epstein files in a lawsuit filed by journalist Katie Phang.

Celebrate America's 250th birthday with Jackie Broyles and Dunlap! It's no 1976, that's for dang sure. In this episode, Jackie and Dunlap yell about: The Supreme Court Show: Supreme Court sure thinks a lot of itself. New rulings say Trump can fire independent agency heads but not Lisa Cook; Birthright citizenship okay for now but just barely; states can ban transgender kids from sports; asylum don't mean horse hockey so Trump and Stephen Miller can ship Haitians and Syrians back to their calm, peaceful countries where nothing bad can ever happen. Trump has to pay E. Jean Carroll, you can't sue Monsanto Roundup poison if you get cancer, no limit on money spending on billionaire PAC/candidate collabs. Megyn Kelly gets racister, Stephen Miller goes from horrid troll to horrid troll with power, maybe we can keep pregnant women out of the USA. Trump is making bank by being president: Trump and his crooked family earned more than 1.4 billion smackers in crypto and meme coin schemes; Kazakhstan mineral bonanzas, free Qatari planes, billionaire buddies getting what they pay for, taxpayers on the hook for ballrooms. This is the out in the open stuff! Who knows what they're being sneak about. At least Albania hates Jared Kushner. ICE still on their bull hockey: The UN is investigating the US for abuse, death, mistreatment and sexual assault in detention centers. Happy birthday America! Plus a Nashville judge keeps disabled immigrant children from being turned over to ICE. Stephen Miller & The War on the Disabled: Stephen Miller hates the disabled, doesn't want to give them money, and wants to take away their autonomy and store them God-knows-where. The "Great American State Fair": I know nobody's there, but man, there REALLY ain't nobody there. Poor Vanilla Ice. At least that MAGA streamer was having a good time. Plus! Billionaires are getting on our nerves, stepping on our freedom, and just really being bummers. Postmaster thugs up for Trump's voter roll snagging, mail-in ballot hoarding schemes. Trump hates Affordable Housing Bill but loves screwing over his fellow Republicans. DSA and young left candidates are spooking establishment Dems. Elon Musk says he ain't hurt no kids.

Jeff Fisher discusses a term marked by major rulings across executive power, voting, and civil rights, and what they signal about the Court's trajectory. --- The Supreme Court has wrapped up a consequential term, issuing decisions that could shape executive power, constitutional rights, and the balance between the branches of government for years to come. Rulings on birthright citizenship, independent federal agencies, voting rights, transgender athletes, and Fourth Amendment digital privacy all landed within weeks of one another, offering a rare, wide-angle view of where the Court is headed. In this episode, Professor Jeff Fisher joins Pam Karlan to unpack the term's biggest rulings. Fisher and Karlan co-direct the Stanford Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, and are among the nation's leading experts on Supreme Court litigation and constitutional law, regularly briefing and arguing cases before the Court, giving them a close vantage point on its work. The discussion traces how the Court is navigating open clashes with President Trump even as it advances long-standing goals of the conservative legal movement, and examines the Court's growing use of history and tradition as a tool of constitutional interpretation. Fisher and Karlan also discuss disagreements among the justices and consider how recent decisions may be emboldening the executive branch.

The Supreme Court on Monday delivered one of the biggest changes in decades to how the federal government works when it ruled that President Trump could fire independent government regulators.

The US Supreme Court gives Donald Trump sweeping new powers to fire government employees, but sides against him in cases regarding the Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook and mail-in voting ballots. Judges also rejected President Trump's request to appeal against a $5m civil verdict that he'd sexually abused and defamed the journalist E. Jean Carroll.

As Andrew puts it, Chief Justice John Roberts is “cherry-picking.” He's flying solo in this short edition of Main Justice (more to come with Mary in the next episode). Andrew gives a quick briefing on several of the Supreme Court's most consequential end-of-term rulings, starting with the decision not to hear an appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. Andrew also touches on the Court's decision to uphold a Mississippi law to allow mail-in ballots that are sent by Election Day to be counted but saves his deepest analysis for two similar cases with opposing decisions: the firings of Lisa Cook and Rebecca Slaughter. While the Court ruled that the Trump administration must have cause to dismiss Cook from the Federal Reserve, it allowed the government to fire Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, a decision which Andrew calls deeply flawed showing the conservative majority's support for a “unitary executive.” And finally, Andrew breaks down the Court's narrow decision to uphold birthright citizenship, and why the tight 5-4 split is the story.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down a major Supreme Court ruling giving Presidents broad authority to fire agency appointees, plus a separate ruling on the Federal Reserve and a surprising decision allowing late-arriving mail-in ballots to be counted. Bryan also tackles a growing panic on Wall Street as New York's wealthy realize they have no real plan to stop the rise of Communist Democrats in Gotham, and he gives his blunt take on why it is too late to reverse the trend. From there, Bryan covers new developments in Iran, including a Pentagon database failure now blamed for the deadly strike on a girls school during Operation Epic Fury, and a vigilante known as "Mexican Batman" taking justice into his own hands against cartel-linked criminals. Plus, the US deepens its Pacific strategy with new underwater drones for the Philippines and a major deal pulling Vanuatu back from China's orbit, China's AI models close the gap with American systems, and Ford rehires veteran engineers after learning AI cannot fully replace human judgment.

John discusses the Supreme Court ruling the White House has extraordinary leeway in the hiring and firing of agency staff across the executive branch, thoroughly weakening independent oversight. Interestingly, the one HR case the Supreme Court ruled against Trump was the dismissal of Lisa Cook at the Federal Reserve. SCOTUS also rejected Trump's appeal of the E. Jean Carroll verdict and payout, and ruled that Mississippi's law demanding a grace period for mail-in ballots is good and upheld. Next, Professor Corey Brettschneider returns to explain the legal factoids of the SCOTUS rulings. And last but not least - comedian Rhonda Hansome joins the fun and speaks with listeners about the SCOTUS rulings, the unfair State fair, and the petulance of The Donald.

Today was not “Trump becomes king.” That's too simple, too tidy, and frankly too flattering to the man currently dry-humping a football he doesn't realize is on a leash.On this episode of We Saw the Devil, Robin breaks down the Supreme Court's decision day and the story most of the coverage is already getting wrong: Trump did gain power, yes. But the Court gained something bigger. It kept the keys.The centerpiece is Trump v. Slaughter, where the Supreme Court torched a ninety-one-year-old rule protecting independent agency officials from being fired just because the president finds them annoying, inconvenient, or insufficiently obedient. That decision did not just weaken the FTC. It cracked open the entire independent-agency structure and dragged the unitary executive theory out of the Federalist Society basement and into the law of the land.But the real twist is this: the Court did not simply hand Trump a crown. It handed him a lease.From Trump v. Cook, where the Court blocked his attempted firing of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook for now, to the mail-in ballot ruling, to E. Jean Carroll's surviving verdict, to the Medicaid work requirement lawsuit, the pattern is the same. The Court is not retreating. It is positioning itself as the final landlord of the executive branch. Trump got more power. The Court kept control.This episode covers:The Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. SlaughterThe end of the ninety-one-year protection from Humphrey's ExecutorWhy independent agencies like the FTC, FCC, SEC, and NLRB are now in dangerThe unitary executive theory and how a once-fringe legal idea became majority doctrineWhy Trump v. Cook is not the clean “Trump loss” people want it to beHow the Court protected Lisa Cook while keeping the door open for future Fed fightsThe mail-in ballot ruling and why the win still comes with a warning labelE. Jean Carroll's verdict surviving Trump's latest appealThe new Medicaid work requirement fight and how bureaucracy becomes a weaponSotomayor's dissent, “chaos will follow,” and the undefined exceptions that give the Court even more powerWhat is still coming tomorrow: birthright citizenship, transgender athlete bans, and campaign financeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

The Supreme Court's latest ruling gives the Federal Reserve a stronger shield from political pressure, reinforcing the independence of the central bank just as Kevin Warsh begins his term as chair.Mike Armstrong and Paul Lane break down what the Lisa Cook ruling means for the Fed, why the court drew a clear line between the Federal Reserve and other independent agencies, and how the decision could make Warsh's job easier as inflation remains the Fed's top concern. They also discuss why consumer sentiment surveys may be overstating economic pessimism, how required minimum distributions can create tax and Medicare premium challenges in retirement, why younger investors may reshape the wealth management industry, and how rising ticket prices are fueling the summer of “funflation.”
La Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos amplió este lunes las facultades del presidente Donald Trump para destituir a directivos de agencias federales independientes, con la excepción de la Reserva Federal. Dos sentencias dictadas en una semana decisiva para la Corte Suprema redefinieron los límites del poder presidencial. El tribunal resolvió que Donald Trump no puede destituir "por cualquier motivo o sin motivo alguno" a Lisa Cook, gobernadora de la Reserva Federal. En cambio, dio luz verde al despido de Rebecca Slaughter, miembro demócrata de una Comisión que regula el comercio. “Trump no espera, avanza” Fernando Pedrosa, historiador y politólogo de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, analiza el alcance de estas dos decisiones: “La Corte Suprema vino a discutir con dos casos. El de Rebecca Slaughter, el primero, que fue un miembro de una agencia de estas independientes que el presidente echó sin causa, y el segundo, el de Cook, que es un miembro del directorio de la Reserva Federal, a la que Trump echó con una causa, pero que no está probada que sea así. Entonces ahí lo que hace Trump, como hace en general, no espera, avanza y dice ‘bueno, yo puedo echar a estos agentes intermedios', y echa primero a la de la oficina comercial y después a la de la reserva”. “Y la Corte saca dos fallos al respecto que van por un camino intermedio. Por un lado, autoriza echar a la primera y le niega expulsar a la segunda, diciendo que la Reserva Federal es una agencia muy especial que necesita mucha independencia porque lleva la política monetaria y que ahí necesita una causa probada que aún no está”, prosigue. La Reserva Federal “tiene que seguir siendo independiente” El analista explica la importancia de la Reserva Federal y por qué esta decisión del tribunal marca un límite del poder que está dispuesto a conceder al presidente: “Yo creo que si el Poder Ejecutivo pudiese dominar la Reserva, me parece que sería un muy mal mensaje para los mercados, caería mucho la credibilidad de la política monetaria norteamericana". Además, añade Pedrosa, “recordemos que Trump ha venido criticando mucho al presidente, que ya no lo es, de la Reserva. Ahora hay otro que es más proclive a Trump. La discusión está en torno a si las tasas de interés deben bajar o no, y Trump quiere inmiscuirse, quiere decidir él. Y hasta ahora la Reserva Federal, gran parte de su prestigio, está en que los presidentes no afectan sus políticas, sino que toman políticas basadas en cuestiones técnicas, y si le conviene al país hacer tal cosa o hacer otra. Como la Corte dijo, los gobernadores están exentos de esta acción de Trump entonces, de algún modo dio un mensaje muy claro de que tienen que seguir siendo independientes”. Por su parte, el presidente estadounidense celebró en Truth Social el fallo que le dio la razón en el caso de la comisionada demócrata, pero lanzó una amenaza a la gobernadora de la Reserva Federal, al afirmar que tomará "las medidas apropiadas" en su contra, sin ofrecer más detalles.
We are live at the Sintra Forum where ECB President Christine Lagarde has backed the central bank's decision to hike rates in June as necessary to rein in inflation. However, Lagarde insists ‘unconventional instruments' are no longer needed since the last inflation shock. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump does not currently have the power to remove Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud but could be granted them in the future. The U.S. and Iran present mixed messages ahead of peace talks in Doha. President Trump has reiterated his claim that the war has been won.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, the Supreme Court ruled on two cases that deal with major political battles. The first deals with mail-in voting, which President Trump has criticized for years. The Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law that allows election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received up to five days later.In another ruling, the High Court ruled that Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, can stay in her job for now.Both rulings are considered a loss for President Trump. But are they the final word on these two issues?For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

Today's Post - https://bahnsen.co/3R54h8Z David Bahnsen previews a forthcoming mid-year Dividend Cafe recap and notes a CNBC interview on market excesses in AI/tech and investor behavior. Markets rose sharply (Dow +300, S&P +1.1%, Nasdaq +2%) led by communication services; Google's first day in the Dow coincided with Verizon's exit, while materials fell. He argues recent breadth versus index performance supports rotation over correction, and questions whether stock and bond markets are truly pricing Fed rate hikes despite high futures-implied odds; the 10-year ended flat at 4.37%. He reviews Iran-US ceasefire uncertainty and Supreme Court activity, including sending the Lisa Cook firing dispute to lower court for due process while upholding an FTC firing. He flags bipartisan interest in taxing/data-center limits, discusses a likely housing bill with limited impact versus state/local barriers, cites rising supply-chain cost indicators, weak new-home sales and falling prices, notes Fed balance-sheet growth, oil at $70.50, and upcoming JOLTS and jobs data (Thursday). 00:00 Welcome and Week Ahead 02:12 Market Recap and Rotation 04:17 Fed Hike Debate 07:04 Geopolitics and Supreme Court 10:03 Data Centers and Housing Bill 12:59 Economy Housing and Fed Sheet 15:14 Energy and Jobs Week 16:05 Wrap Up and Thanks Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

The Supreme Court rejected President Trump's attempt to immediately remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from office, while at the same time expanding presidential authority to remove other federal officials. The justices also upheld state laws allowing mail ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted even if they arrive afterward. On Capitol Hill, Politico reports House Speaker Mike Johnson has officially sent the bipartisan housing affordability bill to President Trump's desk after Congress approved it last week. The measure had been delayed after the president called on lawmakers to prioritize the SAVE America Act, the Republican election reform bill that remains stalled. The dispute is now spilling over into the annual defense authorization bill, with some House Republicans threatening to oppose a procedural vote unless the SAVE Act is included.

Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern, Slate's dynamic legal duo, preview the final weeks of the Supreme Court term. It's a “three-ring circus”: the merits docket, the shadow docket, and the justices' increasingly public intramural snipings and gripes. Dahlia and Mark take a look back at the major decisions the court has issued so far this term on global tariffs, conversion therapy for LGBTQ minors, and of course Callais, which gutted the Voting Rights Act and is supercharging gerrymandering ahead of the midterms. Then, Dahlia and Mark look ahead to the blockbuster decisions expected in the coming weeks: birthright citizenship, immigration cases involving temporary protected status and green card holders, executive power fights over the firing of the Fed's Lisa Cook and independent agency officials, and election cases that could dramatically change campaign finance laws and the counting of mail-in ballots.Next, they explain the court's flurry of opaque shadow docket orders—and what it means for immigration enforcement, to impoundment, trans rights, access to abortion medication, and redistricting. Finally, Dahlia and Mark parse the leaks and personal attacks that have spilled out into public from the usually tight-lipped confines of One First Street, and why this Supreme Court is fueling a newfound appetite for court reform among Americans.This is part of Opinionpalooza, Slate's coverage of the major decisions from the Supreme Court.

If you have a credit card, hope to buy a house, or just want stable grocery prices – let's talk about the future of Fed independence!It's impossibly important for the Federal Reserve to steer monetary policy without political interference – an ideal pushed to its brink during Jerome Powell's time as Fed Chair.Powell's Fed faced a once-in-a-century pandemic, oversaw the economy as inflation spiked to about 9 percent … went back down to nearly 2 percent … and has started to go back up as the U.S. has gone to war and continued to try and implement the most comprehensive tariffs since the early 1900s.But perhaps Powell will be best remembered as a target – of angry tweets, speeches, and ultimately a criminal investigation, by the very president who nominated him in the first place.On Powell's last day as chair, we ask where his story fits into the sweep of history. We'll hear from someone who was on the Fed Board when Powell was appointed … and when President Trump started to pressure Powell. Plus, we learn what to watch for to see if Fed Independence is crumbling – or holding – as a new Fed Chair nominated by President Trump takes office.Recommend Listening: - Happy Fed Independence Day - The case for Fed independence in the Nixon tapes - A primer on the Federal Reserve's independence - Trump's unprecedented attack on the Fed - Should presidents have more of a say in interest rates? - Lisa Cook and the fight for the Fed - What happens to central banks under pressure?Book info. / Subscribe 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 hosted by Kenny Malone and Erika Beras.
