Declaration of No Independence: President Trump Asserts Control Over Independent Agencies Through Executive Order

On February 18, President Trump issued an Executive Order titled “Ensuring Accountability for All Agencies” that directs independent agencies (as well as Cabinet Departments and their sub-agencies) to route all “proposed and final significant regulatory” and budgetary actions through the White House and the Office of Management and Budget. If implemented to its full extent, this action will significantly strengthen the authority of the White House by weakening the political autonomy of these independent agencies.

Senator Ernst’s Directive on Chips Spending: Critical Insights for Fund Seekers

Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) has issued a mandate to the Biden Administration: stop the spending spree with the remaining dollars in the CHIPs for America Program.  Senator Ernst’s missive is a direct response to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo’s push to have every employee in the Department of Commerce work overtime to spend billions of dollars in CHIPs funding before President Biden leaves office—a push that has already resulted in almost as much spending since the November 5thelection as was spent in the preceding two years since the CHIPs Act was passed.  Senator Ernst warned, the success of the CHIPs initiative “requires thoughtful planning and strategic spending, not binge buying shopping sprees by bureaucrats shoveling billions out the door before” Biden’s term expires.

A Babysitter And A Band-Aid Wrapper: Inside the Submarine Spy Case

The New York Times
The New York Times speaks with partner Michael Atkinson, former chief watchdog of the nation’s 17 intelligence agencies, regarding the case involving the couple accused of attempting to sell some of America’s most closely guarded submarine propulsion secrets.
