The Supreme Court just handed one person unchecked control over agencies that regulate nuclear energy, product safety, and labor rights for millions of Americans. I need to know what you are doing about it. This 6-3 ruling doesn't just overturn 90 years of precedent — it hands the president a removal power that, as Justice Sotomayor wrote, is "unknown even to the English Crown against which the Founders revolted." That is not hyperbole. That is the Court's own dissent.
No president before Trump had ever tried to seize control of these agencies. Now the NLRB, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and the Merit Systems Protection Board are all exposed. Congress built these institutions specifically to keep regulatory decisions out of partisan hands.
You have the power to fight back — through legislation, through oversight hearings, through every procedural tool available. The silence from too many elected officials right now is deafening. Tell me exactly what steps you are taking to restore the checks and balances this ruling just shredded.
