The Supreme Court is letting Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook stay in her role for now.

The justices declined to act on a Trump administration pushed to remove her from the

Central Bank's board immediately and instead said they'll hear arguments on the case in January.

President Trump is accused Cook of mortgage fraud, which she denies.

The decision is a setback for the president's

efforts to exert more control over the Fed, which has long enjoyed independence from political

interference. The White House says it will name a new nominee to lead the Bureau of Labor

Senate approval. As chief economist at the Heritage Foundation, he was widely seen as too partisan

for the role. The BLS is responsible for vital economic data, including reports on jobs

and inflation. Its previous commissioner, Erica McIntyre, was fired by Trump in August after a report

showing a sharp fall in hiring. In New York City, residents of a Bronx apartment building were

unharmed after an explosion this morning

caused part of the high rise to collapse. This massive gash on the side of the building used

to be a chimney that ran 20 stories up from the boiler room. Bricks plummeted to the sidewalk

below, hitting a playground, but amazingly and thankfully no one was injured. Officials are now assessing the overall condition of the building, and residents are demanding answers.

The safety of the residents is of paramount importance, and that's the number one concern.

We have building inspectors that are inspecting the foundation of the building and inspecting all of the apartments in the affected areas to make

sure that the building is structurally sound for people that live in those wings.

This could have been a tragedy.

This could have been something a lot worse.
