Portada del episodio Supreme Court Edition, Trump v. Slaughter, Trump v Cook: Who can POTUS terminate?

Descripción

In March 2025, President Trump fired FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter, telling her in an email that allowing her to remain on the commission would be “inconsistent” with his administration’s priorities. A few months later, he fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, alleging that she’d committed mortgage fraud – an allegation that she denies. But can the president fire employees of independent agencies at will? Host Laura Jarrett speaks with Kannon Shanmugam, head of the Supreme Court & Appellate practice at Davis Polk, which won Seila v. CFPB, a landmark constitutional challenge that ultimately invalidated the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Shanmugam breaks down how he convinced the justices that the CFPB violated the separation of powers – and explains why the court might view the FTC and the Federal Reserve differently.

President Trump’s Personal Billion-Dollar Boom; “One Big Beautiful Bill” One Year On

President Donald Trump made more than $2 billion in 2025, including $1.4 billion from the crypto industry. The legally required disclosure from the Office of Government Ethics immediately raised questions about possible conflicts of interest. Megan Gorman, wealth manager and author of “All the Presidents’ Money,” shares the lengths past presidents went to avoid conflicts of interest and how unusual Trump’s finances look by comparison. Then, it’s been one year of Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” and it’s hard to find a part of daily life that hasn’t been affected – from updated tax codes to cutbacks in healthcare programs. NBC News senior policy reporter Shannon Pettypiece explains who is benefiting the most and who has been forced to go with less. Plus, NBC sports analyst Mary Carillo evaluates Serena Williams’ comeback performance and her future in tennis. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Supreme Court Upholds Birthright Citizenship and Bans on Transgender Athletes; What’s in a Heat Wave?

In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order to limit birthright citizenship. But the conservative majority upheld a ban on transgender athletes and struck down campaign finance rules. NBC News Senior Supreme Court Reporter Lawrence Hurley discusses why the birthright decision was so close — and what the justices’ rulings this term tell us about their position on executive power. And with record high temperatures affecting roughly 162 million people and wildfires raging in the West, NBC News Meteorologist Bill Karins explains what’s causing the intense weather and if we’ll have more in store throughout the summer. Plus, are Taylor and Travis really tying the knot at Madison Square Garden? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Why SCOTUS Is ‘Treading Carefully’ on Presidential Power; Oman Sets Its Sights on the Strait of Hormuz

It was a mixed bag for President Donald Trump at the Supreme Court on Monday, as the justices expanded his power to fire members of some independent agencies — but drew the line at the Federal Reserve and upheld a mail-in voting provision that the president has opposed. NBC News Senior Legal Correspondent Laura Jarrett breaks down the day at the high court. Then, NBC News Chief International Correspondent Keir Simmons explains why Oman is getting involved in efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and how that could affect talks between the U.S. and Iran, which are set to resume Tuesday.
