The White House on Tuesday fired ALL 6 members of the #CommissionOnFineArts, an #independent #FederalAgency that was expected to review some of #Trump’s construction projects, including his planned triumphal arch in Washington.
“On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the Commission on Fine Arts is terminated, effective immediately,” reads an email reviewed by WaPo that was sent to one of the commissioners by a White House staffer. -

Interviews w/ #FederalWorkers show that a wide spectrum of govt #spending has already been stalled. Major #scientific #research #grants have already been terminated without public notice in recent weeks. At one #FederalAgency, staff were told — via a directive that took effect on a Sunday — that almost all contracts over $250k no longer could be signed.

I definitely find the Q&A far more informative than the official statement.
Here are 3 questions & answers that were outside the predictable.
Aside: Regardless of #politics, #policy, or even #analysis, it’s genuinely refreshing to listen to an intelligent, capable, informed #expert from the #USGovernment. The last 6mos have felt like 60yrs of total #clownshow #idiocracy. Whether you agree with him or not, #JeromePowell is one of the few competent #FederalAgency leaders remaining.

The section banning ballots that use QR or barcodes relies on a #Trump directive to a #FederalAgency, the US Election Assistance Commission, which sets voluntary guidelines for voting systems. Not all states follow them.
Some of the lawsuits say #Trump doesn’t have the #authority to direct the commission because it was established by #Congress as an #independent agency.

Those #health inequities are the legacy of racial #discrimination that was legal from the country's inception until 1965, the type of historical #injustice #DEI policies were designed to correct.
#Trump also rescinded a 1994 EO by fmr Pres Bill #Clinton that directed every #FederalAgency to develop an agency-wide #EnvironmentalJustice strategy to address adverse health or #environmental effects on *minority* & #LowIncome populations.

#Trump's post came a day after #JeromePowell warned that the #tariffs from the Trump admin are likely to cause both higher prices & slower economic growth.
"Tariffs are highly likely to generate at least a temporary rise in #inflation," Powell told the Economic Club of Chicago, noting that Trump's import #taxes were higher than most forecasters had expected. "The inflationary effects could also be more persistent."

#Trump was evidently frustrated that the European Central Bank was preparing to lower interest rates for the 7th time, while the #FederalReserve is in a holding pattern. Of course, European leaders have not imposed triple-digit #tariffs which threaten to rekindle #inflation.

#Trump calls for #Fed Chair #JeromePowell's 'termination'
Trump renewed his attack on Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell Thurs for not cutting interest rates, even as Trump's own #TradeWar makes rate cuts more difficult.
In a social media post, Trump complained that Powell is "always TOO LATE AND WRONG," & he insisted the Fed chairman's "termination cannot come fast enough!"

"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."

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.

#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. -

#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.
