US supreme court rules Trump’s firing of Lisa Cook from Fed was unconstitutional | US supreme court

The US supreme court has refused Donald Trump’s attempts to immediately fire a Federal Reserve governor, in a landmark ruling that limits a president’s authority over the central bank. In a 5-4 opinion, the court said that Lisa Cook can stay on as a governor while she fights unproved allegations of mortgage fraud made by the Trump officials. “The court decides this application on the narrow ground that the president failed to afford Cook the procedural protections to which she was entitled by statute. Without such protections, she could not properly dispute the charges the president laid against her,” the

Iran’s top negotiator says country ready for war as peace talks inch along

An agreement signed four days ago between the Israeli and Lebanese governments, which links Israel pulling its forces out of southern Lebanon with Hezbollah being disarmed, could effectively keep Israeli troops in the neighboring nation indefinitely, analysts say, and that could make a final peace deal between the U.S. and Iran harder to achieve. Hezbollah has thus far refused to lay down its weapons, and the Lebanese government has proven unable to make the well-armed Iranian-backed group do so.  “This is ‌not an agreement, it is an imposed settlement,” a senior Lebanese politician, who declined to be named, told the

Inside the terrifying Pete Hegseth purge pushing the US army to breaking point

Joseph Stalin conducted two enormous purges of Red Army officers that decimated its leadership. During the first in 1937-38, three marshals were executed; 13 Army Commanders were removed, and 50 Corps Commanders – some exiled, many killed. All were accused of being ideological traitors. Stalin was no fool; he understood after cutting off the head of his military that it wasn’t ready to fight Nazi Germany. Many historians view Stalin’s Non-ggression pact with Hitler, which allowed Hitler to fight on a single front and conquer Western Europe, as motivated by his knowledge that unravelling his own army threatened national security.

US supreme court upholds birthright citizenship in blow to Trump agenda | US supreme court

The US supreme court has upheld the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship, affirming that nearly all people born on US soil are American citizens and rejecting a central pillar of Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. The president had issued an executive order on the first day of his second term that sought to deny automatic citizenship to the children born to undocumented immigrants and temporary foreign residents. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said this order violated the 14th amendment of the US constitution. “Citizenship, then and now, was the right to have rights – to freely participate in
