  • Trump’s Battle With The Federal Reserve

    Trump’s Battle With The Federal Reserve
    Sep 10 2025
    What’s behind Donald Trump’s ongoing battle with the Federal Reserve? That’s the question on some analysts minds as the White House proposes staff shakeups at the historically independent central bank.

    Trump has been attempting to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook since Aug. 25. Cook was nominated by Joe Biden and confirmed by the Senate in 2022.

    The administration is attempting to fire her based on allegations that she committed mortgage fraud before joining the Fed – that’s despite the fact that she hasn’t been convicted or charged with any crime.

    On Tuesday night, a federal judge temporarily blocked the president from removing Cook from the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors. She’ll continue to serve as she contests her dismissal.

    The Fed has operated independently since its inception more than a century ago. How do the Trump administration’s proposed changes threaten that independence? And what effect could changes at the Fed have on the U.S. economy?

  • The Lawsuits Against The Trump Administration

    The Lawsuits Against The Trump Administration
    Sep 9 2025
    President Donald Trump has tested the limits of the law since the day he took office at the start his second term.

    This includes signing an executive order to end birthright citizenship, terminating or freezing billions of dollars in federal funding, and enacting sweeping tariffs on foreign goods without congressional approval.

    But these actions have not been met with silence.

    Over the last eight months, hundreds of lawsuits have been filed by state attorneys, physicians, media organizations, international students, and others to challenge the Trump administration’s policies.

    We check in on major lawsuits against the administration. Where do they stand now? What do they mean for our country’s system of checks and balances?

  • 'If You Can Keep It': HHS Versus The Science

    'If You Can Keep It': HHS Versus The Science
    Sep 8 2025
    In recent weeks, we’ve seen a seismic shakeup inside the Department of Health and Human Services and unprecedented discord between the agency, scientists, and doctors.

    HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. is bucking the science-backed guidance of physicians on vaccines. That’s angered some Democrats. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren went after Kennedy over his pseudoscientific approach to running the agency during a Senate hearing Thursday.

    So, what happens when political ideology outweighs medical consensus?
