The Federalist: There's No Such Thing As 'Independent' And Apolitical Bureaucrats
The debate over Congress's power to create "independent" federal agencies is intensifying, particularly regarding presidential removal authority. The Supreme Court's decision in Humphrey's Executor, which allowed for restrictions on presidential power, is being questioned as it assumes agency officials can remain apolitical and impartial, a notion contradicted by current political realities.
Recent actions by agency heads under President Biden illustrate that these officials are deeply involved in politics, challenging the idea of a nonpartisan expert class. The Supreme Court should reconsider the validity of Humphrey's Executor, emphasizing the need for checks and balances in governance to account for human nature and political influence.

Khalil's attorneys argue that his constitutional rights were violated and that the government is retaliating against him for his speech. His wife, who is pregnant, claims she sought legal support from Columbia University before his arrest but received no response. The court will also consider whether the Southern District of New York is the appropriate venue for the case.

The Federalist: Report Defends Obamacare Fraud Because It Creates Jobs
A recent Commonwealth Fund report argues against allowing enhanced Obamacare subsidies to expire, claiming it would lead to job losses and decreased revenue. Critics contend this position contradicts previous stances on reducing health care costs and overlooks the fraud associated with these subsidies.
The report fails to address that these subsidies are contributing to rising health care expenses and enabling fraudulent claims. Observers argue that health care should not be treated as a jobs program, emphasizing the need for Congress to let these subsidies lapse to better control costs.
