26.08.2025 โ‡ข The day Lisa Cook challenged her dismissal from the Federal Reserve
โŒจThe day was overwhelmingly dominated by President Trump's efforts to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. Early reports detailed his announcement, citing allegations of mortgage fraud, which quickly met Cook's public refusal to resign and her dispute of his authority.

Amidst these events, discussions emerged on Trump's directives for DC crime, including the pursuit of the death penalty, and new immigration policy considerations like "neighborhood checks" for citizenship and a controversial proposal for Chinese students.
