Independent Agencies Under Political Control — FTC, FCC, SEC, NLRB Reorganized (2025-03-2025-09)

The Trump administration restructures independent federal agencies to bring them under direct White House control. The FTC, FCC, SEC, NLRB, and other independent agencies are moved to within the Executive Office of the President. Commissioners can be fired at will by the president. The move, recommended in Project 2025, eliminates the legal fiction of agency independence. The reorganization faces court challenges but the Supreme Court, with three Trump-appointed justices, upholds the restructuring.
