Supreme Court gave presidents more power over agencies. Are any still independent?

By Olivia Fletcher, Staff writer, July 25, 2026, 5:00 a.m. ET

WHY WE WROTE THIS 

The Supreme Court’s June ruling in Trump v. Slaughter could shift the balance between presidential control and agency autonomy, legal scholars say.

We are looking forward to this expression of church that propels us towards prayer.

Why US-Iran diplomacy is so out of sync: It’s style as well as substance

By Howard LaFranchi, Staff writer, July 16, 2026, 5:08 p.m. ET

WHY WE WROTE THIS 

Each side in the U.S.-Iran war is internally divided on the way forward, making resolution of the conflict problematic. And President Donald Trump’s transactional approach doesn’t resonate with Iran, which is playing more of a long game.

https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Foreign-Policy/2026/0716/trump-iran-war-ceasefire-diplomacy-transactional-strategic

We are looking forward to this expression of church that propels us towards prayer.

Venezuelan aftershocks: How the quakes made political change more urgent

By Tibisay Zea, Contributor, July 08, 2026, 2:35 p.m. ET|CARACAS, VENEZUELA

WHY WE WROTE THIS 

Venezuela’s earthquakes have created a new test for its political opposition: try to return and risk being seen as opportunistic, or stay away and hazard the movement’s relevance.

India reckons with a woman’s ‘worth’

By the Monitor's Editorial Board, June17, 2026

A legal ruling recognizes the monetary as well as civic value of women's role as homemakers. But unleashing their full potential will require India’s men and women to shed limiting views of each other.

In Trump’s second term, financial gain has become a defining feature

By Linda Feldmann, Staff writer, June 05, 2026, 5:00 a.m. ET|WASHINGTON

WHY WE WROTE THIS 

The Trump family’s wealth has surged over the 19 months since Donald Trump’s election. The circumstances are revealing how, on personal-finance matters, a president might be constrained less by laws than by norms that are vulnerable to testing.

We are looking forward to this expression of church that propels us towards prayer.
