Supreme Court allows Trump to fire members of independent agencies — for now
Friday, 23 May 2025 () The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday granted the Trump administration's emergency request to fire the heads of two independent agencies. But the decision is technically a temporary one.
Yesterday the Supreme Court handed down what ought to have been an obvious and effortless decision acknowledging the executive authority of President Trump to fire executive branch officers--including Gwynne Wilcox (NLRB) and Cathy Harris (MSPRB)--without constraint by Congress or the courts--even...
In a 6–3 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump had the authority to fire Biden-appointed officials Wilcox and Harris mid-term, weakening decades-old congressional protections over independent agencies. The decision—criticized by Justice Kagan—allows presidents to remove executive officers without cause, but excludes the Federal Reserve. Trump’s firings stalled the NLRB and Merit Board, halting key decisions. While the ruling marks a major shift in separation of powers, the Court says a final judgment is still pending.

During an Oval Office executive order signing ceremony, President Donald Trump took a sharp jab at former President Joe Biden, mocking his use of an autopen to sign official documents. Trump questioned whether he could do the same, reigniting claims that Biden’s reliance on the device was potentially illegal. While the autopen has been used for decades in Washington, House Republicans have raised concerns and are planning a formal investigation into Biden’s use of the signature machine. Trump’s comments have brought renewed scrutiny to an otherwise obscure presidential tool.

President Donald Trump has issued a broad warning to tech companies that manufacture smartphones abroad, declaring that a 25% tariff will apply not just to Apple but to any firm — including Samsung — that doesn’t shift production to the United States. Speaking to reporters, Trump emphasized fairness and announced that the new tariffs are expected to be finalized by the end of June. The move signals a dramatic escalation in his economic nationalism and could have major repercussions on global smartphone pricing and tech supply chains.

President Donald Trump has threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if it continues manufacturing iPhones outside the US. In a post on Truth Social, Trump warned CEO Tim Cook that iPhones sold in America must be built domestically—not in India or elsewhere. The warning follows Cook’s recent statement that most iPhones in the US will soon originate from India. Although finished smartphones currently enjoy tariff exemptions, Trump’s aggressive trade policies may disrupt Apple’s global supply chains and cost the company nearly $900 million this quarter alone.
