Trump fires Lisa Cook in an unprecedented move, and immediately the US dollar sinks against the Yen (in red), the Euro (teal), and the British Pound (purple). Stocks are also sorting it out, but down around a quarter point. Point is: Markets don't think this is move helps American business.

I'm now in the possibly-unique position of having (a) publicly opposed Lisa Cook's appointment to the Fed board and (b) publicly opposed Lisa Cook's removal from the Feb board, absent an actual finding of guilt.

Just received this statement from Lisa Cook, via her attorney: "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."
Ben Casselman@bencasselman

President Trump said he is firing Lisa Cook, a Federal Reserve governor, "effective immediately." It's his most direct assault yet on Fed independence -- and a step that it is far from clear he can legally take.

Lots more moving to where the sky is blue. Aaron maintains a useful "economics institutions starter kit," which is quite the chore as more arrive daily. Thanks! Someone posted this morning "my feed is like EconTwitter back when it worked." True, that.

@BarbaraBiasi Stanford switched from birthing to both parents under supposed threat of lawsuits from fathers. I had a screaming fight with U. lawyers trying to stop it. Later, after the baby wave (dads junior faculty) I went back to the Provost to object again. No luck.

It’s always seemed odd to me that we literally have a paper *in the AER* showing equal leave policies create gender inequities, yet I have never seen those policies questioned.
Natalia Emanuel@NataliaHEmanuel

Many academic institutions give equal tenure extensions to birthing and nonbirthing parents. This seems odd, not least because research by @JennaEStearns and co suggests that fathers use leave to do more research rather than bond pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10…
