It’s a new day for accountability and leadership in America’s capital. President Donald Trump has done it again, shaking up the Washington establishment by pushing out Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter. After a lower court played politics and reinstated her, the Supreme Court stood firm with Trump. This move is not just about Slaughter; it’s about reclaiming presidential authority that had been stolen by the bureaucratic left.
The Supreme Court’s recent decision isn’t just a smackdown for Slaughter; it could unravel decades of outdated precedent. For too long, the 1935 ruling in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States has tied the hands of our president, allowing so-called “independent” agencies to operate without accountability. With this shift, the doctrine that has made these agencies untouchable could finally be dismantled. It’s time these government bodies understand that they can’t operate as rogue entities.
HUGE win for President Trump. With *no* noted dissents, the Supreme Court allows the President to fire FTC member who refused to resign. Yet another example of lower courts not following what the Supreme Court has said in interim orders. The President may run the executive! pic.twitter.com/pYpjdalbas

But let’s not forget, this isn’t just bureaucratic drama—it’s a defense of the rule of law. Under Trump’s leadership, there’s a clear message: no more free rides for political hacks who hide behind bureaucratic walls to avoid accountability. Slaughter and her cronies can cry rivers about “market stability,” but there’s nothing stable about liberals preserving their power with antiquated laws. Making wild claims about Trump replacing the head of the Federal Reserve is just liberal wishful thinking. The real instability is keeping ineffective leaders in power, letting them drag America down.
Even FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson knows Trump’s choice was the right one, asserting the president’s rightful power over these agencies. The commission can finally get back to work—protecting consumers and fighting competitive practices—instead of being a refuge for out-of-touch leftists.
So, the question remains for all the naysayers doubting Trump’s decision: When did ensuring government agencies stay accountable and under control become a radical idea? Who’s really upholding American values—those clinging to antiquated precedents or a president who doesn’t see them written in stone?
