First Thing: Supreme court hands Trump power to fire agency chiefs but rules against him on mail-in ballots

The US Supreme Court granted Donald Trump and future presidents the power to fire leaders of independent agencies, overturning a 90-year precedent. The court also ruled against Trump's administration on mail-in ballots, allowing them to be counted after election day, and mandated privacy protections for smartphone location data. Additionally, the court affirmed a jury's verdict against Trump in a case involving E. Jean Carroll.
