29.06.2026The Day the Supreme Court Expanded Trump's Power

Editors focused on a trio of Supreme Court rulings that reshaped presidential authority. The Court upheld state laws allowing late-arriving mail-in ballots, rejecting a Trump-led challenge, while also letting a $5 million sex abuse verdict against Trump stand. The most consequential decision expanded Trump's power to fire officials from independent agencies, overturning 90 years of precedent. Coverage spanned from progressive outlets decrying 'king-like' power to conservative ones hailing executive authority. Meanwhile, the fragile US-Iran stand-down held, with talks in Qatar set to resume, though domestic political fallout included Republican anxiety over JD Vance's role. Trump dismissed a bipartisan housing bill as 'a big yawn.'
