The Supreme Court is signaling that it may hand more unchecked power over to Trump.
Allowing him to fire an FTC Commissioner would reverse 90 years of precedent and give the President the keys to currently non-partisan, independent agencies.
Still time to get it right. No Kings!

Supreme Court poised to expand Trump’s power over independent agencies
A ruling in favor of Trump’s position has been expected by legal experts because the justices have been chipping away at a precedent known as Humphrey’s Executor.

California asked the Trump Administration back in February to request relief from Congress for the Los Angeles fires.
Nearly 11 months later, Trump has failed to send Congress that request — and his FEMA won't even schedule a meeting to discuss it.

Support for the ACA tax credits has reached an all-time high of 57%, including 63% among independents.
There’s still time to find a solution and prevent premiums from skyrocketing. My Republican colleagues should heed this Gallup poll and join with us to extend the tax credits.

Donald Trump promised almost a year ago that he'd "take care" of rebuilding after the Los Angeles firestorms, but survivors are still waiting for him to officially ask Congress for relief.
It's long past time for Trump to wake up and do his job.
