The US Supreme Court on Monday said President Trump cannot fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.

The high court, in a 5-4 vote ruled that Trump cannot remove Cook.

Chief Justice Roberts wrote the majority opinion.

“To accept any of those arguments would in effect transform the Federal Reserve’s for-cause protection into at-will employment,” Roberts wrote.

Justice Thomas dissented.

Lisa Cook filed a lawsuit against President Trump, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell after Trump fired her last summer.

The Trump Administration previously asked the US Supreme Court to intervene after a federal appeals court blocked Trump from firing Lisa Cook.

DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer, in his petition to the Supreme Court, said the lower courts have interfered with the President’s authority to remove members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for cause.

A federal appeals court previously rejected President Trump’s bid to fire Lisa Cook.

The DC Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, said Lisa Cook can remain a Federal Reserve Governor, allowing her to vote during last month’s interest rate meeting at the Fed.

Lisa Cook apparently owns three properties, and she allegedly committed mortgage fraud on all three properties.

According to housing regulator Bill Pulte’s first criminal referral, Lisa Cook committed mortgage fraud by lying on her mortgage application and falsifying bank statements when she designated her out-of-state Atlanta condo as her “primary residence”—just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home, which she also claimed as her “primary residence.”

Last August, Pulte sent a second criminal referral on Lisa Cook after she was allegedly caught lying about a third property.

Lisa Cook’s attorneys laughably claimed there would be an inflation crisis if Trump were allowed to fire Cook.

President Trump responded to the Supreme Court’s decision to reject his effort to fire Lisa Cook.

“The Cook Lawsuit, having to do with her suitability in sitting on the Board of the Federal Reserve, was sent back by the Supreme Court on a strictly procedural basis, we will take appropriate action immediately to make sure that someone who has committed wrongdoing will not be making vital decisions concerning the Welfare of the United States of America! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP” Trump said.

The Department of Justice has launched a federal grand jury investigation in Manhattan targeting Neville Roy Singham, the China-based Marxist tech tycoon whose fortune has bankrolled a vast network of pro-communist, anti-American activist groups for years.

According to Fox News, citing sources familiar with the matter, the grand jury in the Southern District of New York has already begun issuing subpoenas for bank records and financial documents.

The investigation, authorized by Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche and led by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, is examining potential wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering, and other financial crimes tied to the movement of roughly $278–285 million through Singham’s elaborate dark money web since 2017.

Fox News outlet:

The grand jury action follows a Fox News Digital investigation published in mid-March, documenting how Singham pumped $285 million from his base in Shanghai into a Goldman Sachs philanthropy fund and two shell corporations that then fed the money into a constellation of nonprofit organizations, media operations and activist groups pushing sectarian division, identity politics and support for socialist politicians.

The investigation is examining the movement of the money in Singham’s financial network and attempting to determine if Singham, the organizations he funded or their leaders committed wire fraud, bank fraud, money laundering or other financial crimes, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Prosecutors have presented evidence to the grand jury, which has issued subpoenas seeking bank records and other financial documents from organizations in Singham’s network. Federal prosecutors use grand jury subpoenas as an investigative tool to compel the production of documents and testimony as they determine whether sufficient evidence exists to pursue criminal charges.

The investigation marks a major escalation after years of mounting concerns from Republicans in Congress over Singham’s financial support for organizations promoting socialist, communist, and anti-American causes while allegedly maintaining close ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Singham, the founder of ThoughtWorks, reportedly amassed a fortune after selling the software consulting company for approximately $785 million before relocating to Shanghai. Since then, he has become the subject of numerous investigations and congressional inquiries over allegations that he financed a sprawling network of activist groups and media organizations advancing pro-Beijing narratives.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Singham has operated as a major funding vehicle for radical leftist causes. In May, far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker accidentally admitted on air that Singham has been bankrolling “a lot of political movements in the country, a lot of activism.”

Piker was speaking after Treasury and DOJ scrutiny hit groups tied to Singham’s network, including a Cuba solidarity convoy that delivered aid to the communist regime.

Earlier, in September 2025, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to immediately freeze all of Singham’s assets, warning that the billionaire was using American nonprofits to fund anti-American political movements on behalf of foreign interests.

Congressional Republicans, including Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith, Sen. Tom Cotton, and others, had already raised alarms about Singham’s $278+ million dark money empire spreading CCP-aligned propaganda through U.S. tax-exempt organizations. House committees investigated. Letters were sent. Yet under the previous administration, little meaningful action followed.

The US Supreme Court on Monday ruled 6-3 to allow President Trump to fire Biden-appointed Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter and other political appointees from executive branch agencies. 

Last March, President Trump fired both Democratic commissioners at the FTC. The Supreme Court previously allowed Trump to fire Slaughter, but today’s decision overturns Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, giving Trump lawful authority to fire agency heads across the executive branch.

Justice Clarence Thomas previously blasted the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor decision.

“Humphrey’s Executor poses a direct threat to our constitutional structure and, as a result, the liberty of the American people . . . Our tolerance of independent agencies in Humphrey’s Executor is an unfortunate example of the Court’s failure to apply the Constitution as written. That decision has paved the way for an ever-expanding encroachment on the power of the Executive, contrary to our constitutional design,” Justice Thomas wrote.

“If anything more is left of Humphrey’s, we overrule it,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion. “Humphrey’s has for decades been a result in search of a rationale.”

More from the Hill:

In an expansion of presidential power, the ruling gives Trump the right to sack Federal Trade Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, a Democratic appointee who took center stage in his quest to set aside constraints on his removal authority.

It formally overturns the high court’s 1935 landmark decision, Humphrey’s Executor v. United States, which laid the groundwork for certain agencies across the executive branch to enjoy a degree of independence from the White House. These agencies regulate vast swaths of American life, including labor disputes, federal employee rights, workplace discrimination, credit unions, product recalls, plane accidents and more.

“If anything more is left of Humphrey’s, we overrule it,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority.

Beyond the FTC, the decision stands to impact roughly two dozen multimember agencies across the government, allowing a president to install appointees who fit his political mold.

Trump responded to the ruling, calling it “one of the most important ever.”

“It is such an Honor to be the sitting President who won this Historic and Unprecedented Ruling, one of the most important ever given with respect to Presidential Powers,” he said:

BIG WIN just moments ago at the Supreme Court, in the Slaughter Case, confirming Presidential Power in our Country to remove Executive Branch Officers and Agency Appointees, or Representatives, under Article II. This Decision was long sought by United States Presidents, dating all the way back to the 1930s. It is such an Honor to be the sitting President who won this Historic and Unprecedented Ruling, one of the most important ever given with respect to Presidential Powers. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

In a follow-up post, Trump wrote, “To show the importance of the Slaughter Case, 90 years of precedent has been COMPLETELY AND UNEQUIVOCALLY OVERRULED, greatly increasing Presidential Power at a time when it is most needed!”

A video showing an African migrant exposing himself to women and young children on a beach in Italy has gone viral, bringing a spotlight on the horrors of mass migration in Europe. 

Horrifying footage shows the African migrant standing in front of families and young children while pleasuring himself on the beach (VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED).

Anti-mass migration activist Tommy Robinson shared the clip on X, writing, “‘New normal’ scenes at the beach in ‘Modern Europe.’”

Another widely circulating video, though unconfirmed, appears to show the man facing the wrath of the locals, who pummeled him over the obscene display. One woman can be seen actually stepping in to defend the individual.

WATCH:

According to Genoa-based Italian newspaper Il Secolo XIX, the incident occurred last Sunday on Pegli beach in Genoa, Italy. “This is just the tip of the iceberg,” one local told the outlet:

A video filmed on the public beach of Pegli, next to the Bagni Mediterranee, with the voices of children playing on the shore in the background , and a man at the center of the scene pulling down his underwear and masturbating as if nothing had happened in front of an audience of mostly families.

This video, published by the Hispanic online portal Ok Diario, garnered nearly 40 million views on TikTok alone in just a dozen hours , quickly going viral. Someone called the police, and when they arrived, the man was identified and reported for indecent exposure in a public place. He is a legal immigrant in Italy. The beach was shocked, especially by the man’s extreme naturalness. He didn’t even seem particularly upset by the fact that at the end of the video, people were seen filming him and removing him from the beach.

“It happened Sunday on the public beach to the right of the sailing club next to us,” a member of Bagni Mediterranee in Pegli confirmed to Secolo XIX . “We noticed it because we heard people screaming and then the commotion afterward, when they called the patrols. With people sleeping everywhere and extreme situations these days, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We don’t know where this guy ended up, or whether he was alone as he appeared or with someone else nearby, but as you can see from the video, everything he did was in broad daylight and in front of the children, who can be heard shouting. Tell me if the situation we’re falling into is normal.” 

President of the Regional Council of Liguria and former Deputy Mayor of Genoa Stefano Balleari addressed the incident in a video statement on Facebook.

A man committed obscene acts on the beach in front of families and children. This took place in Pegli, Genoa.

“What happened cannot and must not be downplayed or swept under the rug. It is not merely a serious incident; it is something that wounds the very sense of civil coexistence and the respect due to others,” Balleari said. “Our beaches, squares, and public spaces must remain places of serenity, safety, and freedom—especially for the youngest among us. It is right that those responsible for such behavior be identified, reported, and held fully accountable for their actions. Respect for the rules, for human dignity, and for communal life is non-negotiable.”

He continued, “To those who try to turn this into a political controversy, I offer a simple reply: this is not about Right or Left; it is about the respect due to families, children, and citizens. Defending the decency and tranquility of our community is not a political battle; it is a duty toward the citizens.”

The US Supreme Court on Monday ruled 5-4 that federal law does not require mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day.

Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion and said state laws allowing mail-in ballots to be counted after Election Day do not conflict with federal laws.

The lawsuit challenging the mail-ballots was filed by the Republican National Committee and the Libertarian Party of Mississippi.

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has sent a direct and forceful letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin demanding swift action to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) racket for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian nationals now that the Supreme Court has cleared the path in Mullin v. Doe.

In the June 27 letter, Schmitt thanked Mullin and the Department for their excellent work implementing President Trump’s America First policies to restore border security and put American citizens first. He zeroed in on the Supreme Court’s ruling that reversed lower-court injunctions blocking the terminations of TPS designations for Haiti and Syria.

“With those injunctions lifted, the Department now has clear authority to proceed with the terminations and deportations previously announced for Haitian and Syrian nationals,” Schmitt wrote.

“These designations covered a substantial population—roughly 350,000 Haitian nationals and several thousand Syrian nationals—whose TPS-based protection from removal and work authorization will end once the terminations take effect.”

He urged the Department to act promptly to finalize the terminations so deportations can begin in an orderly and timely manner. Schmitt also called for clear communication on the voluntary departure process through the CBP Home mobile app, which allows individuals to report their departure, receive travel assistance and a financial stipend, and leave without arrest or detention.

Data as of March 31, 2025, shows the staggering scale of the TPS program overall: 1,297,635 individuals from 17 countries. Venezuela alone accounted for 605,015, followed by Haiti at 330,735, El Salvador, Ukraine, Honduras, and others. Syria had 3,860 under the program.

Schmitt’s comments came after former Ohio Gov. John Kasich publicly urged Congress to intervene and extend TPS protections for Haitians following the Supreme Court ruling.

Sen. Schmitt has a better idea.

“I’ve got a better idea. TPS became another mass-migration loophole. The Supreme Court has now lifted the blockade. It’s time to act. Therefore, I am calling on DHS to move fast, finalize the President’s TPS terminations, and deport those who no longer have legal status. Temporary means temporary.”

Schmitt’s push for rapid deportations also comes as DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin has taken a markedly different tone regarding some TPS recipients.

Mullin suggested Sunday that migrants who qualify under existing immigration law could pursue permanent legal status rather than remain under a program intended to be temporary.
