Remember back in 2001 when George W. Bush fired Mary Frances Berry from the Civil Rights Commission and she refused to leave? I have a recollection of seeing her on the nightly news being removed by security from a CRC board meeting when she showed up and attempted to participate after Bush fired her. I can't find a video of that happy event but you might remember her face.

But the argument over whether or not the president can remove members of the NLRB is not a new one. In fact companies, including Space X, Trader Joe's, Starbucks and Amazon, have been arguing for at least a year that the structure of the NLRB violates the constitution. In other words, this is a battle that was already headed to the Supreme Court. If anything, Trump's actions are just accelerating that process a bit.

The NLRB which oversees unionization votes by workers and adjudicates allegations of illegal union busting has faced a flurry of legal challenges to its constitutionality, brought last year by SpaceX, Amazon and other high-profile companies, emboldened by a conservative Supreme Court. (Amazon founder Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.) Those cases are slowly working through the federal court system. But legal experts say Wilcox's firing could propel the issue to the high court more quickly.
"The Trump administration along with the architects of Project 2025 are aiming to do away with the National Labor Relations Act," said Seth Goldstein, a labor lawyer who has represented Amazon and Trader Joe's workers.

Labor lawyers are right to be worried. I don't think there's any way in which the concept of federal agencies acting independently survives the current Supreme Court. The Court has already overturned "Chevron deference" which protected independent agencies from oversight by the courts. The same court is not going to protect those agencies from supervision by the President of the United States.
Putting an end to federal agencies that carry on without supervision from anyone is how you put a stake through the heart of the federal bureaucracy.

The order will require agency and department leaders to provide the White House with recommendations within 60 days on all criminal and civil authorities that could be used to fight antisemitism, and would demand "the removal of resident aliens who violate our laws."

The fact sheet said protesters engaged in pro-Hamas vandalism and intimidation, blocked Jewish students from attending classes and assaulted worshippers at synagogues, as well as vandalizing U.S. monuments and statues.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a large Muslim advocacy group, accused the Trump administration of an assault on "free speech and Palestinian humanity under the guise of combating antisemitism," and described Wednesday's order as "dishonest, overbroad and unenforceable."

During his 2024 election campaign, Trump promised to deport those he called "pro-Hamas" students in the United States on visas.

On his first day in office, he signed an executive order that rights groups say lays the groundwork for the reinstatement of a ban on travelers from predominantly Muslim or Arab countries, and offers wider authorities to use ideological exclusion to deny visa requests and remove individuals already in the country.

NPR and PBS have received federal funding for decades through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. For fiscal year 2025, the CPB received around $535 million from the federal government, which it distributed among public broadcasting entities, including NPR and PBS.

Conservatives should not be expected to fund organizations which actively work against their political beliefs and aspirations. If the left wants to support NPR and PBS, they are free to do so through charitable contributions.

At least six senior FBI leaders have been ordered to retire, resign or be fired by Monday, according to sources briefed on the matter, extending a purge that began last week at the Justice Department across the street from the FBI headquarters.

The senior officials are at the executive assistant director level or special agent in charge level and include those who oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations, the sources told CNN. Some were notified while Kash Patel, President Donald Trump's pick to lead the agency, sat answering questions from senators for his confirmation hearing Thursday.

Trump transition officials in recent months have signaled plans to push aside leaders promoted by former FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The leadership changes have drawn internal consternation, in part because these officials didn't have anything to do with prosecutions of Donald Trump, which have been the focus of the president's ire.

The personnel moves come as hundreds of FBI agents who were assigned to investigate the January 6 US Capitol attack and Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents are bracing for the possibility that they could be forced out or punished, similar to what has happened to dozens of career Justice Department lawyers.

🚨 #BREAKING: The Trump admin has just FIRED David Sundberg, the FBI Assistant Director for Washington, DC

Sundberg led the WITCH HUNT against J6ers, and failed to find ANY “leads” on person who supposedly placed pipe b*mbs around on J6

CLEANING HOUSE! 🔥 pic.twitter.com/2MDhwBy45A

That's a big one! In over 20 years, the Assistant FBI Director has been the one running the actual FBI. The Director is not doing much, this allows them to deny that they know anything.

Kash has made clear he will be 100% involved in the day to day operation.

Good read.

There are still no major leaks in Trump 2.0, and Dems are playing catch-up—and losing. Here’s why:

There are still no major leaks in Trump 2.0, and Dems are playing catch-upand losing. Here's why:

I'm deep in the investigation on Panamawith sources inside the country and top U.S. officials feeding me intel. I have more access, better insights, and stronger contacts than I've had in 15+ years as a journalist.

And yet? I still have no clue what Trump is going to do.

Neither does any journalist.

Why?

Trump 1.0 brought in "the smartest guys in the room" to brainstorm solutionsbut those planning sessions leaked instantly, giving Democrats time to counter them.

Trump 2.0 fixed that.

Now, multiple teams in separate think tanks, working groups and agencies are working on the same problemindependently.
No leaks.
No coordination below the highest levels.
No clear frontrunner until the last second.

Each team develops wildly different strategies, then presents them to Trump (or
@michaelgwaltz
)who picks a plan at the very last minute before they execute at full speed.

So yes, I have insight into multiple possible strategies for Panama.

But I can't report anything because I have no idea which one Trump will actually run with.

Sounds like there ARE leaks.

But, he doesn't know which one to use.

Sort of. The overall message is Trump is not fooling around and is open to all strategies and they have compartmental silos. Easier to find leaks. Much easier. Trump learned that lesson.
