- Reposted by Jonathan GienappTomorrow, SCOTUS is hearing Trump v. Cook, a case involving President Trump’s attempts to remove Lisa Cook from the Fed.

- Reposted by Jonathan GienappIt’s been a hell of a run. Being Editor of @lawandhistrev.bsky.social has been the greatest honor of my career. But it had to end some time. I’ll be stepping down as Editor by next summer. I’ll give proper thanks to LHR’s Associate Editors & ASLH folks in due course. What a bittersweet moment!
