BIG 3

1. US Supreme Court Rulings (Major Decisions on Final Day of Term)
- The Supreme Court significantly expanded presidential power by overturning a 90-year-old precedent, allowing President Trump greater authority to fire officials at certain independent agencies and reducing Congress’s ability to insulate them from political influence.
- However, the Court protected the Federal Reserve’s independence: It blocked Trump’s attempt to fire Fed Governor Lisa Cook (for now) and affirmed that Fed officials can only be removed for cause.
- Other rulings: States must count certain late-arriving mail-in ballots; the $5M E. Jean Carroll verdict against Trump stands; police generally need a warrant for detailed smartphone location data.
