“This is one more basic test for the media. Are they going to focus on the pretextual attacks to discredit Cook —the mortgage allegations, or her qualifications — or will they recognize the pattern of a government using its powers to crush any independent sources of power?” *obviously racist attacks
New, from me: A Trump official is concocting mortgage fraud claims to target opposition. It's a classic authoritarian trick.
Now they are doing it to Lisa Cook, the first Black female member of the Federal Reserve to push her to resign. 🧵

Trump admin's budget would gut the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with a 44% cut in funding, reduced from $77 to $43.5 b.
Cut could translate to 4 million people—living in every part of the country—losing housing assistance. Virtually every city would lose infra funding from CDBG.

The thing we have to reckon with is that most universities cannot afford to stay open if he pulls their funding. And Trump has not been obeying court orders to release funds during pending litigation.
Real question. What is an “illegal protest”? Real question. He was convicted of a crime. Why hasn’t he been expelled?

The President cannot shut down an agency created by Congress. That is illegal.
Hours after Russell Vought took over as acting head of the CFPB, its website is down. This is awful — and likely will be challenged — but they’re also unleashing Elizabeth Warren at a whole new level now.
