The Big Win: Trump v. SlaughterOn June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court dropped a bombshell in Trump v. Slaughter. In a 6-3 decision, the Court ruled that President Trump can fire officials at independent agencies like the FTC (and by extension the FCC, FDA, and dozens of others) without needing “cause.” Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, a Democratic FTC commissioner, got the boot because her views didn’t align with the administration’s priorities. The old 1935 Humphrey’s Executor precedent (which had shielded these “independent” bureaucrats) is now toast.Trump campaigned on draining the swamp. The Supreme Court just handed him a super-sized plunger and said: “Go for it, Mr. President.”No more hiding behind “for cause” protections while pushing agendas the voters rejected. No more pretending these agencies are magically “independent” when they’re clearly exercising core executive power.(Yeah, the birthright citizenship ruling was a head-scratcher, but this one? )A Huge W for executive power and accountability.Who’s ready for some real housecleaning in DC?— The GrrrTeam
