OK, who wants to help me draft & distribute a letter of support for Lisa Cook & Central Bank independence?

I already have a first draft & a bunch of academics' emails

If you want to help get this going, email me (tatyana@deryugina.com)

Why Trump’s offensive against the Fed's Lisa Cook is a ‘five-alarm fire’
At issue is an attempted White House power grab that ignores the rule of law and puts global economic stability at risk.

The Federal Reserve is not as independent from the executive branch as we’d like to think. The NY Fed just cancelled this Thursday’s @aeacswep.bsky.social reception at #EEA2025 and withdrew from our summer fellowship program. Both support women and underrepresented groups in economics. #EconSky
