The U.S. Supreme Court is out with new decisions that directly affect the extent of the
President's powers.
“Today, the High Court said Lisa Cook can keep her job as a member of the Federal Reserve's”
governing board, at least for now, and Pierre Scott Horsley reports a decision as a setback for President Trump. "And if I've all ruling the High Court said the President failed to give Lisa Cook do process when he tried to fire her from the Fed board, the attempt to dismissal was part of a broader campaign by the President to bend the central bank to his will, and hopes
of forcing lower interest rates." While the decision was made on narrow procedural grounds, Chief Justice Roberts wrote the Fed was deliberately designed to be insulated from political pressure to help prevent
the kind of economic panics that were common before the central bank was established.
That carve out for the Fed is in contrast to the Supreme Court's general direction of giving the White House greater control over agencies that were once considered independent. The High Court ruled six to three today, the President can fire a member of the Federal
“Trade Commission, reversing a president that is doing for nearly a century.”
Scott Horsley and Pierre knew his Washington. "In a GOP setback, the High Court of held a Mississippi Law, allowing election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day, but received up to five days later. And in a case over GOFencing, the Court is restricting use of the new law enforcement technique that allows police to tap into giant tech firm databases to see who was near
the scene of a crime.
The official death toll in Venezuela is now up to 1,719 from two powerful earthquakes
five days ago. And Pierre's aid of parole to reports on rescue operations in Caracas. "Over night, rescue crews did manage to extract one person with life, but they are now digging through rubble for a fifth day, and the chances of finding people alive is diminishing." Jorge Rodriguez, the President of National Assembly, said more than 5,000 people were injured
“and that 855 buildings had been damaged, 189 of them were completely collapsed.”
The government says they've opened shelters, but on the streets of Caracas, the displaced are sleeping on sidewalks and in parks, eight of brought up in Pierre News, Caracas. The Federal Aviation Administration's investigating a possible collision between a passenger jet and a drone, and Pierre's Joe Rose has a jet blue flight reported the collision this morning.

Among them, Republicans created two new repayment plans, and they'll be the only options for new borrowers, the Biden-era SAVE plan is also being shut down. The millions of current borrowers still in SAVE will need to choose another plan, or they'll be automatically moved into what is arguably the least flexible option.
