Twenty-three cases. That's what the Supreme Court still has to decide before the end of June or early July.
A federal judge in Boston moved this week to block a hundred-thousand-dollar application fee on H-1B visas. Judge Leo Sorokin ruled the fee exceeded executive authority.
On the other side of the executive power ledger, the Supreme Court vacated a lower court decision that had upheld Biden-era efficiency standards for furnaces and water heaters. The case returns to the DC district court for reconsideration.
The House Oversight Committee released a two-hundred-and-five-page report this week alleging that Minnesota officials under Governor Tim Walz ignored repeated warnings of fraud in state social services programs. The numbers in the report are large.
The Federal Reserve holds its June meeting this week, and it's Kevin Warsh's first as chair. Markets are watching the dot plot and his press conference tone more closely than usual with a new chair.
