Supreme Court says Fed's Lisa Cook can keep her job for now, but it upholds other Trump firings

The Supreme Court has ruled that Federal Reserve board member Lisa Cook can retain her position for now, but it has also backed President Trump's dismissals of heads from independent federal agencies, significantly bolstering presidential authority over these appointments. This decision underscores the ongoing tension between executive power and the independence of federal agencies, raising concerns about future administrations' ability to influence these critical positions. While Cook's retention is a small victory for those advocating for agency independence, the broader ruling could set a concerning precedent for presidential control over federal agency leadership.
