Outcry over supreme court decision to grant Trump power to fire agency chiefs
The US Supreme Court granted President Trump and future presidents the power to fire leaders of independent agencies, overturning 90 years of precedent in the case Trump v Slaughter. Legal and labor experts criticized the decision, warning it could undermine democratic norms, while Trump celebrated it as a 'big win' on Truth Social.
