This week’s Ask the Editor in Chief, featuring MeidasTouch DC correspondent Pablo Manríquez and of course Editor in Chief Ron Filipkowski, ran through five questions submitted by the Meidas+ Substack community. The most pressing topic revolved Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. Slaughter, which just gutted nearly a century of precedent governing how independent federal agencies operate. We’ll get into the details in a bit.
But first, thank you to everyone who submitted questions for this week’s episode! To have your questions considered for next week, look out for Ron’s call-to-action in his daily news bulletins! Also, a quick apology for the video quality in this week’s episode. There were some technical difficulties on Pablo’s end, but despite some visual and sync issues, the audio is crystal clear.
Read below for a full recap of this episode and watch above! Let’s dive in.
