Celebrate the Court Protecting Federal Reserve Independence

In a critical win for fairness and stability, a federal appeals court has ruled that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook can continue to serve while Donald Trump’s unlawful attempt to fire her is litigated.

This decision is bigger than one person — it’s about protecting the independence of the Federal Reserve from political meddling. The court made clear that no president can strip away due process or remove Fed leaders simply for policy disagreements or vague, unproven allegations.

Lisa Cook, the first Black woman to serve as a Federal Reserve governor, has dedicated her career to building an economy that works for everyone. Keeping her at the table ensures that the voices of working families remain part of crucial decisions that affect interest rates, jobs, and our economic future.

This ruling is a powerful reminder that checks and balances still matter — and that our courts will not rubber-stamp Trump’s reckless power grabs.
