Supreme Court blocks Trump's bid to remove Fed governor Lisa Cook
BREAKING: The Supreme Court upholds Mississippi late-arriving mail-in ballot law. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/29/u...
Shea the Spirited🏳️⚧️🌻🍉🏴11Mississippi is one of the most restrictive states for absentee voting. I'm in a wheelchair and chronically ill, and the process still expects me to make trips to the courthouse to exercise my right to vote. That's not accessibility.
Prince4A win for democracy and a loss for fascism!
Psycho Pete3This is why we need people to vote in person if they can or drop box. They will grind the mail down to a halt, and then say, “whoops, too late.”
Dr. Penguin3They better hide the Ketchup.
justbond.bsky.social2But that a redneck state
Publius1MS has also been in trouble for voter purging.
BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld a Mississippi law that allows election officials to count mail-in ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but received up to five days after it.
DMin2Beware everyone, the structure of the PO has changed, mail isn't postmarked at your local branch anymore, it's sent to a hub where it could sit for days unmarked. Trump will try to exploit this. If you mail your ballot take it to your local branch, use the lobby and ask them to mark it there.
Jester Says1So nothing from the current USPS administration will deliver anything, certainly not ballot related, before the 6th day after a post-mark.
Peter Sealy Art & Photography1Well, there goes any pressure on California to upgrade their antique voting system.
FrostedLit1Only if the Postmaster permits ballots to be mailed
Robert L. Tsai10It’s the right decision but shouldn’t have been this close. A dark reminder that SCOTUS remains tempted to assert national power over elections despite the plain language of the Constitution.
Matt Fulton2He’s gonna say that he can appoint Bill Pulte acting chief justice too.
Democrats need to start conditioning the American public with the idea that we were going to be prosecuting Supreme Court Justices for some of the decisions they have have made and we will prosecute them for their presidential immunity decision as accomplices to president Trump and his insurrection
Robert41. You can't prosecute any judge for making a decision you don't agree with. It doesn't work that way. 2. You can prosecute a judge for misconduct such as collusion, corruption and taking bribes. Which is trickier to prove.
aggravatingbobcat.bsky.social3Not to defend the justices, but I don’t think we CAN prosecute them for decisions they make. But we can prosecute them for actual crimes they commit. And they can be impeached.
Friskiedgrrl 🏳️🌈 💙🍁 🌊🇨🇦 🇺🇦3Especially the ones who LIED to Congress saying "Roe v Wade is settled law".
Fossilized Opossum2HELL YEAH team prosecute SCOTUS checkin in! Exhibit A: Trump v. United States. These motherfuckers amended the US Constitution by fiat in furtherance of a by- now- obvious criminal conspiracy to rob America blind. Perp walks or bust.
Marcine Egender2Unfortunately 1/2 of American public have no idea a Supreme Court exists or what they do, who they are & how the rulings can affect their lives.
Ghost_of_Gandalf 🇺🇸2When you look at the blatant Russian collusion, I don't see how it can be considered anything other than treason.
SCOTUS upheld Trump’s dismissal of the last Democrat on the FTC while rejecting his attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The rulings represent a dramatic restructuring of executive power and will likely supercharge Trump’s effort to assert absolute control over multiple agencies.
Just Jenny 867-53093Well this will come in handy after his entire administration are dismissed.
wscottc.bsky.social2So, each new president can just fire everyone? Maybe the old employees should also be entombed with the old president like 1st Dynasty Egyption Pharaohs.
Just this guy2They won't let Trump touch the Fed because it would harm their investments and the investments of their billionaire owners.
Jo1What is traitor Roberts going to do when he can no longer control his monster?!
Old Uncle Dave1So the next President can say, "Everyone appointed by trump, get the F out!"
eightmjc.bsky.social1SCOTUS is making policy. Not their job.
Supreme Court Blocks Trump’s Fed Firing But Allows Removals at Other Agencies … this is bad for the country.
Patti3This will be a good thing when we take back the country Then our Democratic President can fire every single magafukkker trump put in charge of our federal agencies
isocrstes57.bsky.social3Of course during the Biden Administration they were extremely skeptical of giving any authority to the executive. And I’m guessing they will be again next time a Democratic president is elected. All of a sudden they’ll start rolling back and they’ll offer some flimsy explanation of the difference.
melaniej49.bsky.social3The DOJ has already announced it is going to indict her. AMERICANS have no clue how the Bond market is the bloodline to our nation's survival. Messing with the independence of the Fed is tampering with the Bond Market and cause foreign investors to not invest and that's apoplectic.
Louis Winthorp III2On principle, if you can remove one independent agency head, why can’t you remove them all? Appears selective (for a blind application of constitutional law) if the question is one of presidential authority why the caveat?
Resistance is persistence!1the seeds of disdain are sewn the nation is fertile with angst it is upon the commoner to rise no nation can withstand tyranny #30million8/30 30 million on August 30th. Imagine a march of 30,000,000 on August 30th. Now stop imagining and begin making it real. Sharing is caring, please repost.
The Supreme Court rejects Trump’s appeal in the E Jean Carroll $ 5 million defamation case. Trump appealed saying the trial was unfair since jurors got to hear claims of other sexual assaults against him. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/APyxXJ8BfSNu...

tat1111.bsky.social3Finally!! What took this so long to make it to the high court?? Pay up a-hole!! Too bad the over two dozen other women that accused him of sexual assault hadn’t also sued the rapist. NOW RELEASE THE EPSTEIN/TRUMP FILES!!
georgesellers.bsky.social2The orange-faced felon will never pay up. Sue him and get TEN TIMES the amount owed, Carroll!
Breaking News: The Supreme Court upheld Mississippi’s grace period for late-arriving mail-in ballots, rejecting a push from President Trump to reject the state law.
Sen. Adam Schiff171The Supreme Court today upheld a century of allowing states to count ballots mailed by Election Day.
Juliana Stratton17Donald Trump knows he’s failing at his job, so he’s trying every possible way to cheat us out of our vote. But today, the Supreme Court rejected his latest desperate attempt to block your access to the ballot box.
Senator Jacky Rosen9Good news – the Supreme Court shut down one of the Admin’s ongoing attempts to limit vote by mail, a safe and secure method of voting used in NV and across the country. All eligible voters have a right to make their voice heard, and Trump won’t get away with his attacks on Americans’ voting rights.
ElizaRose3Rejecting trump it's what smart people do 👊🇺🇲🔥
BREAKING: The Supreme Court says the Federal Reserve's Lisa Cook can keep her job for now, but it upholds other firings by President Trump.
Mina2Nine unelected overlords decide all.
JovialJovian1They clearly want to turn the President into a King, but also have an awareness that giving Trump full direct control over the FED would crash the economy overnight. So they grant him sweeping, unprecedented powers, but carve out little exceptions inconsistent with their own rulings.
Congresswoman Nikema Williams4Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook is keeping her position after the Supreme Court ruled that Trump does not have the authority to fire a Federal Reserve governor. We already knew that, but I'm glad to see the Court confirm it.(1/2)
Mr. Monday 🥃🍸🥂3And when a Dem president fires someone of an independent department without cause, this court will restrict that.
BonFire2This ruling is a NIGHTMARE for BUSINESS. Yes, the Fed gets a pass for now, but this ruling gives a POTUS power to fire any and every head of every formally "independent agency" at will. THIS MEANS that every four years Federal regulations can change dramatically! How can businesses deal with THAT?
Breaking news: The Supreme Court blocked President Trump from immediately firing Lisa Cook, a Democratic appointee to the Federal Reserve Board, a major ruling that preserves the independence of the central bank.
quandia.bsky.social1“If you mess with consumer protection, it’s fine. Do it as much as you want. But, don’t mess with capital.”
Wendy says go outside1...and only the central bank
Charles Johnson86They let him fire anyone EXCEPT the governor of the Federal Reserve. This tells us very clearly what SCOTUS considers important, and it’s not the citizens of the US. It’s money that matters.
Rep. Richard Neal5Today’s Supreme Court decision affirms that the Fed works for the people, not Donald Trump. Trump’s policies have already strained wallets and drained savings. The last thing the people need is for their finances to be further threatened by his dangerous politicization.
Breaking news: The US Supreme Court has blocked Donald Trump from sacking Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, in a powerful rebuke of the president’s attacks on the world’s most important central bank. ft.trib.al/yi6ple0
