Here's your Lindy Briefing:
THE SIGNAL: The US Supreme Court is considering cases related to the power of independent regulators and the President's ability to fire federal officials, potentially expanding presidential authority. A worker was cleared of theft after two years in court, and the former President of Honduras was freed after a Trump pardon.
THE FRICTION: While some sources report the Supreme Court appears poised to expand Trump's power, others highlight a "judicial backlash" at the Supreme Court, suggesting internal disagreement or resistance to such expansions of power.
THE NOISE: The headlines regarding a "Trump Immigration Crackdown in Chicago" and "California Ban on Masked Agents" are likely localized disputes that, while important, do not signify a broader trend or policy shift at the national level.
