The Queen's Gambit is a chess move sacrificing a pawn to gain control of the center of the board. In politics, it's much the same, a tactical move that turns a calculated loss into a strategy to win the long game. Make your move. #Resist

Lisa Cook, Federal Reserve Board of Governors: "President Trump purported to fire me 'for cause' when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022."

For the first time in 111 years, a President is planning to fire a sitting Fed governor—and of course, it’s the first Black woman, Lisa Cook.
Trump’s message is clear: when Black women rise, he’ll do anything to push us down.
Newsflash: we’re not going anywhere.

Last week Trump said he likes the idea of starting a war so he can declare “no more elections” and stay in office forever.
Today he just said “a lot of people” want “a dictator.”
See where this is going?

Reporter: Higher prices. The overall inflation rate as of July at 2.7%. That's well above what the Fed was targeting. When you look at just furniture prices for living room, dining room, and kitchen, almost 8%. This is before these furniture tariffs even kick in
