"These #partisan #witchhunts and #firings need to stop. Congress creates independent agencies and insulates #civilservants from partisan firings for a reason.

If this week’s actions become the new normal—and #partisanship becomes the only criteria for holding a position in a #federalagency—then our financial markets will be more volatile, our consumer products more hazardous, our skies more dangerous, and our civil liberties and constitutional rights less secure."

This has to be actionable.

#Musk aides lock #GovernmentWorkers out of computer systems at #US #FederalAgency

Aides to #ElonMusk charged have locked career #CivilServants at #OPM out of computer systems that contain the #personal #data of millions of federal #employees…

Since taking office, #Trump has embarked on a massive govt makeover, firing & sidelining hundreds of civil servants & installing more loyalists.

I printed out all 900-plus pgs of #Project2025 in Feb on my home printer, stacking the unwieldy chapters on my desk. Bit by bit, each evening, I read my way through the plans that seek to dramatically alter each #FederalAgency.
Most Americans who know about Project 2025 consume it in bite-size pieces, like Instagram infographics, or see the name on billboards. They hear politicians, like MVP #KamalaHarris, mention it on stage – or #Trump *disavow* it in TV interviews.

For decades, the court’s decision in #Chevron USA v. #NaturalResources Defense Council directed judges to defer to the interpretations of #FederalAgency ofcls in cases that involve how to administer ambiguous federal #laws.
Writing for the majority, Chief Justice #JohnRoberts said that framework has proved “unworkable” [for his corporate bros] & allowed #FederalAgencies to change course w/o direction from #Congress.

Holy shit

#SCOTUS curbs #FederalAgency #power, #overturning #Chevron #precedent

The #ChevronDeference precedent was targeted by #conservatives who say the government gives too much power to federal agencies.
The decision curtails the power of govt agencies to #regulate, overturning a 40-yr-old #legal precedent long targeted by #conservatives who say the govt gives expert career professionals too much authority.

#GiftArticle on #SCOTUS #SEC ruling

SCOTUS invalidated the SEC’s use of in-house #legal proceedings to #discipline those it believes have committed #fraud — a blow to the #FederalAgency in one of several cases this term challenging the #power of the #ExecutiveBranch.

The court said the SEC’s internal tribunals (not fed courts) to bring #enforcement actions in #securities fraud cases violates the Constitution. The decision has implications for #RegulatoryAgencies.

#GarlandVCargill turned on whether #BumpStocks meet the definition of a #MachineGun under a 1986 #law. Fed appeals courts were divided in 5 earlier decisions, before #SCOTUS.

Cargill’s case did not directly involve the #2ndAmendment, but was a test of the reach of a #FederalAgency to enact & interpret #regulations — a major crusade w/the current #SupremeCourt.

#Legal precedent says courts should DEFER to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes if reasonable.

#SCOTUS ruled in favor of #Starbucks on Thurs in a challenge against a #labor ruling by a federal judge, making it more difficult for a key #FederalAgency to intervene when a company is accused of illegally suppressing #LaborOrganizing.

8 justices backed the majority opinion, which was written by Justice #ClarenceThomas.
