Fighting has been the hallmark of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook’s academic and professional career, highlighted by her becoming the first Black woman to serve as a governor of the Federal Reserve. She was confirmed after Vice President Kamala Harris issued a tiebreaking Senate vote in 2022. Federal Reserve governors are expected to fulfill 14-year terms.

Cook’s latest fight is with President Donald Trump to keep her position on the Board of Governors at the Federal Reserve.

Trump sent Cook a letter Monday saying he was firing her after Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte accused her of falsifying bank records to secure favorable mortgage terms before she was elevated to her position.

Cook then sued President Donald Trump on Thursday, the beginning of a legal battle over what she calls Trump's "unprecedented and illegal" efforts to remove her from the central bank and the committee that makes decisions about the nation's interest rates.

During a well staged military, political and business context at the Federal Government's Union Station, Stephen Miller presented a statement on behalf of US President Donald J. Trump. Stephan Miller presented President Trump's autocratic intentions to control activity happening in Washington DC. Miller's statement proclaimed the Trump Administrations intent to implement autocratic power by way of the US military, US politics and US business in Washington DC and the United States.

With precision Deputy Chief Miller implemented and articulated President Trump's executive orders by way of a military context, a political context and a business context.

The Military Context An emergency protocol is being implemented now. Citizen voices and group discussions are not needed, action is required. The Political Context That, "All protests against President Trump's Executive Orders and new laws will be met with immediate and decisive action. The Business Context That, ""Effective immediately, all DC Citizens are required to do what President Trump orders fully. No exceptions."

Vice President Vance and Secretary Hegseth and the US Military affirmed Miller statement, voicing no disagreement to what was being said. Miller was surrounded by US Military Troops and Police. As was Vice President Vance and Secretary Hegseth. It was an unannounced role out of the Trump Administration's autocratic governance of the United States.

President Trump's voice was declared as the only voice that mattered. In fact, Miller mocked and attempted to slandered the voices of protesters who were predominantly believed to be Caucasian / White folks according to Miller.

Taking an Axe to Bigotry While Honoring Democracy’s True Voice
By Karen Ann Carr | TheWhiteHouseSpin.com


On August 20, 2025, Vice President J.D. Vance, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller left Union Station after meeting with federal law-enforcement officers inside the federally owned landmark in Washington, D.C. Their appearance was meant to project authority. Instead, it revealed a deep fracture between those who wield power and the people whose voices are being silenced.

President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guardsmen to patrol Washington, D.C., under the guise of an “out-of-control crime wave,” is nothing less than an attempted takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department. Local and national leaders have condemned it. But the strongest opposition has come from Washingtonians themselves, who understand better than anyone what it means to be denied full representation while carrying the burdens of governance, taxation, and history.

When Vance, Hegseth, and Miller attempted to smooth their narrative by buying lunch for Guard members at Shake Shack, residents were waiting. They heckled. They raised their voices. They reminded these officials that democracy is not defined by armored trucks or by federal officials parachuting in to claim they know best. Democracy is defined by people, by community, by the stubborn courage of ordinary citizens who insist on being heard.

Yet Stephen Miller, never one to miss an opportunity to inject venom into civic life, made a statement that was not only erroneous but deeply corrosive:

“All these demonstrators that you’ve seen out here in recent days, all of these elderly white hippies! They’re not part of this city and never have been. And by the way, most of the citizens who live in Washington, D.C., are Black. This is not a city that has had any safety for its Black citizens for generations, and President Trump is the one who is fixing that…”

These words were designed to divide. They erase the lived reality of D.C.’s Black communities, who for generations have fought—not begged—for safety, dignity, and representation. They dismiss the presence of multiracial coalitions who stand together in the streets, insisting on democracy. And they insult the intelligence of a city that has long been at the beating heart of America’s highest ideals and deepest contradictions.

Miller’s brand of rhetoric thrives on fear and distortion. But love of community, respect for humanity, and honor for each voice are stronger than his cynicism. The people of Washington, D.C. have always known this. Every heckle, every protest sign, every resident who chases out federal intrusion is making a statement that cuts deeper than Miller’s words ever could: we belong, we matter, and we will be heard.

To honor democracy is not to silence dissent, but to welcome it. To honor democracy is to recognize that every voice—Black, white, immigrant, native-born, poor, or powerful—has a place in shaping our collective future. And to honor democracy is to resist the arrogance of supremacy in all its forms, whether it dresses itself in military uniforms or political spin.

The question is not “how low will this administration go?” The real question is: how high will we lift our vision of democracy? If we lift it high enough, no bigotry can withstand the light.

Local and national Democratic politicians have condemned President Donald Trump’s move to deploy National Guardsmen to patrol Washington, D.C., and his attempted takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department, which is all in the name of fighting a supposed out-of-control crime wave. But some of the loudest opposition is coming from D.C. residents themselves.

On Tuesday, Vice-President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller headed to Washington’s Union Station to meet with National Guard members (and buy them lunch at the station’s Shake Shack). But the group was greeted by an assembled group of protesters who heckled them throughout their visit.

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP'S STAGED RHETORIC AND THE ILLUSION OF POWER IN WASHINGTON DC

By Karen Ann Carr

The rhetoric coming from President Donald J. Trump is, once again, absurd. But more troubling than his words are the illusions he creates. As President of the United States, he has authority over federal property — not over the District of Columbia’s government. Yet, with calculated staging and theatrical language, Trump seems to be banking on the ignorance of citizens outside Washington, D.C., to make it appear as though he holds sweeping power over the city itself.

Take last week, for example. President Trump implied he was taking over the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. That impression was not accidental. President Trump made his remarks in front of the U.S. National Park Service headquarters — a federal building located on federal land in Washington, D.C. The optics suggested local control, but the reality is far different.

Here’s the truth: the U.S. National Park Service, not the D.C. Government, is responsible for what happens on its park property. It is the Park Service, under the Department of the Interior, that has allowed and enabled homeless encampments to spread on parkland across the city. Mayor Muriel Bowser and the D.C. Council have no legal authority to intervene on those federal lands.

By placing himself at the Park Service’s doorstep, President Trump turned a jurisdictional nuance into political theater — blurring the line between federal and local authority. The result is a false impression: that he was asserting control over D.C.’s police or local agencies, when in fact he was merely exercising his power over federal property.

This kind of staging is not harmless. It erodes the public’s understanding of D.C.’s unique legal status, exploits the disenfranchisement of its residents, and fuels a dangerous narrative that the President can dictate local governance. Washingtonians know better. But for citizens outside the District, the performance may have been convincing — and that was the point.

The nation must see this clearly: Trump is not strengthening democracy when he manipulates optics; he is undermining it. By distorting the truth about D.C. governance, he is not only misleading the country — he is setting a precedent of political theater over constitutional fact.
