The legal infirmities aside, there's a not unexpected irony that the asserted grounds for removal are essentially what Trump was *actually convicted of* in the fraud lawsuit against him.
"Mr. Trump justified the firing, which he said was effective immediately, by pointing to allegations that Ms. Cook may have falsified records to obtain favorable terms on a mortgage. But Ms. Cook and her lawyer vowed to fight her dismissal, maintaining that the president did not have the grounds to oust her."

Hm, funny, I seem to recall some pivotal set of events happening in the 1860s that focused on this very question. But I just can’t quite recall. Oh well. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

Does anyone at @nytimes.com Editorial Bd. even ride the subway? Seriously, what does this mean?
Subway trips can have a chaotic or even menacing quality. Nearly half of bus riders board without paying their fares. The number of felony assaults has jumped more than 40 percent over the past decade. The city’s fourth graders, after significantly outperforming their peers in other large cities during the early 2000s, have fallen back in math and reading. Housing has become even less affordable, and homelessness has risen. In the most basic measure of the city’s appeal, the population remains well below its pre-Covid peak.

I dunno, seems like a good time for @budget.senate.gov Dems to use their tweet/skeet/etc of the day
