Court embraces Project 2025 framework, rewriting agency removals

The Supreme Court, in a 6–3 decision, overruled Humphrey’s Executor and held that the president may remove heads of independent agencies (as with the FTC), advancing the Project 2025 blueprint; in a separate 5–4 ruling it preserved the Federal Reserve’s independence by allowing Lisa Cook to remain on the board after concerns about due process. The paired rulings mark a major shift toward executive control over agency officials, while preserving a narrow exception for the Fed.

Fed Chair Warsh taps conservative researchers for initial policy team

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh has hired two conservative policy researchers—Paul Winfree and Daniel Heil—as interim advisers to assist with policy analysis. Winfree authored a chapter for the Project 2025 policy blueprint, which includes ideas that go beyond Warsh’s calls for “regime change,” such as potentially ending the Fed’s dual mandate and focusing on protecting the dollar and restraining inflation. Heil is a Hoover Institution fellow. Both hires are temporary contractors, with Warsh yet to appoint permanent staff; the Fed did not comment.

HHS hinges firings on new at-will civil service category amid 2025 push

Health and Human Services is moving hundreds of senior career staff into a new at-will civil service classification to make it easier to fire them, a shift tied to the Project 2025 agenda backed by Trump allies. Officials say the change boosts accountability for policy-influencing managers, while critics accuse it of purging staff not loyal to the administration. The move is accompanied by reports of layoffs under a separate reduction-in-force at HHS, with the scope still unclear and no loyalty pledge required by the new rule.

MAGA Economist Warns Oil Spike Could Push US Economy Toward Chaos

E.J. Antoni, a Trump ally and Project 2025 economist, warns the US economy isn’t prepared for oil at $100 a barrel as the Iran war escalates, predicting higher energy prices would feed inflation. Antoni, who was nominated to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics but had his nomination withdrawn amid scrutiny, remains a high-profile MAGA figure tied to Trump’s policy debates and has drawn attention for his Jan. 6 involvement and related controversies.

Maryland man accused of plotting to murder OMB director after showing up at his home

Colin Demarco, a 26-year-old from Maryland, is accused of plotting to murder OMB Director Russell Vought after traveling from Rockville to Vought’s Arlington, Virginia home wearing a mask and gloves. Authorities say he left notes about a weapons stash and a “Body Disposal Guide,” discussed killing the president in Discord messages, and identified Vought as the target connected to Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation policy agenda. The case, investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service, involves state charges in Arlington County; Demarco claimed he was seeking a job and denied intent to harm anyone, while Vought remains under security protection amid threats tied to his role in Trump-era policies.

Hope on Hold: DIPG Families Fight for Trials Amid U.S. Funding Cuts

A Guardian feature follows Izzy, a four-year-old with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), and the families and doctors racing to find experimental treatments as the Trump era’s funding cuts cripple NIH support, shutter the Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium, and suspend or delay dozens of clinical trials. The result is that progress in DIPG research stalls just as families face a last-hope window, turning access to new therapies into a bureaucratic and political obstacle. In the end, Izzy receives a reprieve when Stanford offers a CAR-T cell trial, a glimmer of hope amid a landscape of lost trials and dwindling resources.

Despite widespread public and political warnings about its extreme proposals, many outlets initially accepted Trump's denials of involvement, only to later acknowledge his significant role in implementing its policies after his return to power. The coverage highlighted issues of media bias and the importance of scrutinizing political claims.
