Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune - I appreciate President Trump and his administration’s commitment to deliver critical support to America’s farmers. South Dakota producers have been facing a strained agriculture economy, but through it all, they continue to persevere. Today’s announcement is a strong step forward, and I appreciate the administration’s willingness to continue supporting farm country as it implements the ag investments made in the Working Families Tax Cuts package.

Lee Zeldin @epaleezeldin - Video: From the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) to the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Commission and more, President Trump’s work this year bringing agencies together to closely collaborate like never before should be a model that continues for decades and generations to come. The President’s Cabinet loves working with each other and working with him, VP Vance, and the best White House staff ever to Make America Great Again!

Leslie McAdoo Gordon @McAdooGordon - SCOTUS is hearing the Slaughter case this morning.
That’s the one on whether the POTUS can fire certain agency officials or whether that power can be restricted in some ways. The DOJ seeks to overturn the case of Humphrey’s Executor, a very old precedent on this issue.
I will be reading the transcript of the argument later today or tomorrow and setting forth my views of how the argument went here on X once I’ve done that.
(I can no longer stand to listen to the arguments live because of the ignorant and/or idiotic and/or irrelevant and/or dilettantish questions posed by several of the Justices - Barrett, Sotomayor, & Jackson.)
My own view is that unless expressly stated in the Constitution itself or expressly designating to another constitutional actor the power to define how to appoint or fire an Executive Branch official or an official carrying out or supervising executive powers, then the POTUS is the constitutional actor with the power to fire such officers and may do so at will. While some agencies may carry out within them multiple of the three branches’ powers, there are only three branches, not four; and whether those agencies’ officials can be fired and by whom partakes of the character of the separation of powers framework, not hybrids concocted by the Congress outside that framework.
So stay tuned for my analysis of the argument in due course over the next day or so.

Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok - FIRST ON LOTT: ICE just sent a letter to Sanctuary State Illinois’ AG DEMANDING they hand over the more than 4,000 illegals in their custody.
Illinois has RELEASED more than 1,700 criminal illegals from prison back into our communities.
Here are some of the worst of the worst, including murderers, pedophiles, and kidnappers.
Illinois is currently harboring thousands of criminals.
They MUST HONOR the over 4,000 ICE detainer requests for these criminals!

lifenews.com @LifeNewsHQ - This is Jolene, who lives in Canada.
She needs a surgery to help her deal with a parathyroid issue. But no doctors in her province can do the surgery and she can't get transferred to another province for it.
As a result, Canada has offered her assisted suicide.
