5 Major Supreme Court Decisions to Watch, and the Rise of Sewage Surveillance

Key Points:

• The Supreme Court is nearing the end of its term and will soon issue decisions on over a dozen cases, including key rulings on birthright citizenship, presidential firing powers, and transgender athletes' participation in sports.
• A major case will consider President Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship for children born in the US to undocumented parents, potentially redefining American citizenship for hundreds of thousands annually.
• The Court will also rule on the extent of the president's authority to remove members of independent agencies, such as the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Trade Commission, which could significantly expand executive power.
• Bill Pulte, acting director of national intelligence, is expected to announce large-scale job cuts within the intelligence community, a move supported by some but raising questions about his role in implementing the reductions.
• Cottage cheese is experiencing a resurgence in popularity after decades of decline, leading to shortages in stores as consumer demand surges.
