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.

Kash Patel flames out and Fox News throws him an anchor not a life preserver during his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing testimony. Pam Bondi forgot that “hate speech” is just protected first amendment speech that she can’t prosecute, and Justice Sotomayor tells her so. Why hasn’t Brian Kilmeade been prosecuted by Pam Bondi for “hate speech” for calling for the “lethal injection” of unhoused Americans? Trump is on a fast track t...
