Make Me Smart

A one-two punch for the power of federal agencies


Listen Later


A Supreme Court ruling today gives companies a dramatically wider window to challenge federal regulations with lawsuits. We’ll get into why this is particularly important in light of a separate decision to overturn the Chevron doctrine, and how it could impact other federal regulations like the Federal Trade Commission’s ban on noncompete clauses. Then, we’ll discuss the Supreme Court’s decision on former President Donald Trump’s immunity case and where the heck we go from here. Plus, what you can do to protect the health of our democracy.



Here’s everything we talked about today:


  • “Supreme Court rules Trump has some immunity in D.C. election interference case” from NBC News
  • “Supreme Court Extends Time Frame for Challenges to Regulations” from The New York Times
  • “Biden to extend overtime protections for 1 million workers” from The Hill
  • Post on Bluesky from Squire Boone
  • “American democracy is cracking. These ideas could help repair it.” from The Washington Post
  • “Five Strategies to Support U.S. Democracy” from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace
  • “How to Protect Democracy” from Protect Democracy
  • “Opinion | John Lewis: Together, You Can Redeem the Soul of Our Nation” from The New York Times
