‘Dagger in heart’: Rebecca Slaughter on how her supreme court case validated Trump’s purge to civil service

Since Donald Trump took office in January 2025, he has fired more than 50 officials from federal agencies. Rebecca Slaughter was fired by Trump in March 2025 as she was helping with rehearsal for her child’s elementary school play. Alvaro Bedoya was fired as he was at his daughter's gymnastics practice. They both filed a lawsuit challenging their terminations a few days later. In September 2025, the supreme court allowed Trump to remove Slaughter from the agency as the case continued and agreed to take up the case.

Trump’s Anti-Growth Agenda

Donald Trump is dismantling the economic underpinnings that would ensure future U.S. might. America’s technological ascendance has been fueled by immigrants. The Trump administration has suspended and canceled nearly 8,000 scientific grants in 2025. The administration is also close to finalizing four-year limits on student visas.

Trump EPA Moves to Approve Alabama Coal Ash Program Rejected by Biden Administration

The EPA proposes to approve Alabama's coal ash permitting program. It is the same proposal rejected by the Biden administration in 2024 for failing to meet federal standards. Alabama Power, which operates six major coal ash ponds throughout the state, said it is reviewing the EPA’s proposed approval. The Southern Environmental Law Center said the Alabama program the EPA wants to approve was “identical” to the one rejected in 2024.

Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments in Utah have ancient cliff dwellings, petroglyphs and scenic canyons, as well as coal and uranium deposits that state officials want made available for development. President Donald Trump reduced their size by about 90% each under the Antiquities Act. President Joe Biden reversed similar actions during his first term.

The hidden cost of Trump’s ‘Freedom Fuel’ gimmick

Trump is promoting the "Freedom Fuel Network" with 25 gas stations that are selling gas for $3.47/gallon in Pennsylvania and $1.99/gal in New Jersey. The network was registered by Corporation Trust Company, which the Trump family often uses to register their private enterprises. The company is subsidizing gas prices out of the goodness of its heart.
