A federal court ruled Tues that #FederalReserve Governor #LisaCook can remain in her position while she fights Trump’s efforts to fire her.

The ruling, which will be appealed, is a blow to the #Trump admin’s efforts to assert more #control over the traditionally #independent#Fed, which sets interest rates to achieve its congressionally mandated goals of stable #prices & maximum #employment. #Congress has also sought to insulate the Fed from #politics.

"Why is Donald Trump trying to break the will of the Federal Reserve? Because he wants to be able to set the nation’s interest rates according to his momentary political interests—a tectonic disruption of America’s financial system that could permanently destroy America’s reputation as an economic safe haven and cause immeasurable damage to the U.S. economy."
