## Resource

A federal judge in western Washington, Roger Rogoff, was appointed U.S. Attorney — then fired by President Trump less than an hour later. The White House claims the judge skipped proper consultation, reopening the role. This mirrors similar moves in New York and New Jersey, raising alarms that the administration is sidelining qualified nominees to install loyalists. Senator Patty Murray blasts the decision, calling Rogoff fully qualified and properly appointed, warning of a political agenda. With the position now vacant again after a string of interim appointments, legal challenges may follow — and the nation watches to see who fills this critical role next.
