Those #health inequities are the legacy of racial #discrimination that was legal from the country's inception until 1965, the type of historical #injustice #DEI policies were designed to correct.
#Trump also rescinded a 1994 EO by fmr Pres Bill #Clinton that directed every #FederalAgency to develop an agency-wide #EnvironmentalJustice strategy to address adverse health or #environmental effects on *minority* & #LowIncome populations.
#Trump's post came a day after #JeromePowell warned that the #tariffs from the Trump admin are likely to cause both higher prices & slower economic growth.
"Tariffs are highly likely to generate at least a temporary rise in #inflation," Powell told the Economic Club of Chicago, noting that Trump's import #taxes were higher than most forecasters had expected. "The inflationary effects could also be more persistent."
#Trump was evidently frustrated that the European Central Bank was preparing to lower interest rates for the 7th time, while the #FederalReserve is in a holding pattern. Of course, European leaders have not imposed triple-digit #tariffs which threaten to rekindle #inflation.
#Trump calls for #Fed Chair #JeromePowell's 'termination'
Trump renewed his attack on Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell Thurs for not cutting interest rates, even as Trump's own #TradeWar makes rate cuts more difficult.
In a social media post, Trump complained that Powell is "always TOO LATE AND WRONG," & he insisted the Fed chairman's "termination cannot come fast enough!"

"These #partisan #witchhunts and #firings need to stop. Congress creates independent agencies and insulates #civilservants from partisan firings for a reason.
If this week’s actions become the new normal—and #partisanship becomes the only criteria for holding a position in a #federalagency—then our financial markets will be more volatile, our consumer products more hazardous, our skies more dangerous, and our civil liberties and constitutional rights less secure."

I printed out all 900-plus pgs of #Project2025 in Feb on my home printer, stacking the unwieldy chapters on my desk. Bit by bit, each evening, I read my way through the plans that seek to dramatically alter each #FederalAgency.
Most Americans who know about Project 2025 consume it in bite-size pieces, like Instagram infographics, or see the name on billboards. They hear politicians, like MVP #KamalaHarris, mention it on stage – or #Trump *disavow* it in TV interviews.
What would a #Trump #election #win mean for #trans #rights in the #US?
Trump pledges to sign a new #executiveorder to end all #programmes that “#promote the #concept of #sex and #gender #transition at any age” in every #federalagency.

For decades, the court’s decision in #Chevron USA v. #NaturalResources Defense Council directed judges to defer to the interpretations of #FederalAgency ofcls in cases that involve how to administer ambiguous federal #laws. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice #JohnRoberts said that framework has proved “unworkable” [for his corporate bros] & allowed #FederalAgencies to change course w/o direction from #Congress.

Holy shit
#SCOTUS curbs #FederalAgency #power, #overturning #Chevron #precedent
The #ChevronDeference precedent was targeted by #conservatives who say the government gives too much power to federal agencies.
The decision curtails the power of govt agencies to #regulate, overturning a 40-yr-old #legal precedent long targeted by #conservatives who say the govt gives expert career professionals too much authority.

#GiftArticle on #SCOTUS #SEC ruling
SCOTUS invalidated the SEC’s use of in-house #legal proceedings to #discipline those it believes have committed #fraud — a blow to the #FederalAgency in one of several cases this term challenging the #power of the #ExecutiveBranch.
The court said the SEC’s internal tribunals (not fed courts) to bring #enforcement actions in #securities fraud cases violates the Constitution. The decision has implications for #RegulatoryAgencies.
SCOTUS goal: Ensure that when the Fascist takeover occurs, RW is very well armed.

#GarlandVCargill turned on whether #BumpStocks meet the definition of a #MachineGun under a 1986 #law. Fed appeals courts were divided in 5 earlier decisions, before #SCOTUS.
Cargill’s case did not directly involve the #2ndAmendment, but was a test of the reach of a #FederalAgency to enact & interpret #regulations — a major crusade w/the current #SupremeCourt.
#Legal precedent says courts should DEFER to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes if reasonable.
#SCOTUS ruled in favor of #Starbucks on Thurs in a challenge against a #labor ruling by a federal judge, making it more difficult for a key #FederalAgency to intervene when a company is accused of illegally suppressing #LaborOrganizing.
8 justices backed the majority opinion, which was written by Justice #ClarenceThomas.
