OPINION | The Supreme Court may soon revisit a foundational question about the structure of the federal government: how much control the president has over so-called independent agencies.

On a dirt road strewn with shattered concrete, Jalal Rashidi bent to pick up a shard of jagged debris. A piece of a drone, he said, that crashed into a compound of exiled Iranian Kurds soon after the United States and Israel launched their war on Iran.
About 40 families were preparing to break the Ramadan fast here in northern Iraq on March 5 when drones struck, Rashidi said. They blew out windows, peppered walls with shrapnel and tore open a courtyard.
