In " Trump v Slaughter" the Supreme Court is likely to rule that
Trump has the power fire FTC head Rebecca Slaughter
(and, by implication, the heads of many other agencies thought to have a measure of independence,
such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Federal Election Commission)
at his discretion.

The problem is that such a decision wouldn’t restore the constitu…

In this Supreme Court case, a sledgehammer is better than a scalpel
On Trump’s ability to fire the heads of agencies, the Supreme Court should take the harder route.

Lanternfly honey has arrived. Just don’t ask how it’s made.
The impact of spotted lanternflies is showing up in a less obvious way: It’s changing honey. Exactly how that change happens may not be the best selling point.

Billionaires are spending massive sums on politics. A backlash brews.
Christina Persson,
a 55-year-old English teacher in a small town of just over 2,600 people,
is fed up with billionaires.

In May, during the debate over Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,”
she spearheaded a move to erect a billboard reading,
“Tax breaks for billionaires. CUTS for everyone else.”

Two months later, she set up shop at the county fair and sold

Billionaires are spending massive sums on politics. A backlash brews.
An anti-oligarch protest in a small Indiana town shows the depth of the national backlash against the concentration of wealth and power.

Over the past quarter-century, political, legal and economic changes have reshaped the relationship between wealth and political power in America.
Economists say wealth is now more concentrated at the very top than at any time since the Gilded Age.
The tech and market revolutions of recent decades have created riches on an unprecedented scale.
Changing norms on executive compensation and lower-tax policies under Republican and Democratic administrations have helped insul…

It’s not just Trump. Billionaires dominate politics more than ever.
The current concentration of wealth is unlike anything in history. So is billionaires’ involvement in politics.
