PPI's Curtis Valentine will lead a conversation with Richard Kahlenberg, Jason Zwara of the National Association of Charter School Authorizers and Eric Paisner of the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools about the potential implications of the decision for charter school governance, state funding, church-state separation and educational equity.

Where to watch Trump's DC military parade: Livestream, TV channels, more
Where to watch Trump's DC military parade: Livestream, TV channels, more Show Caption Hide Caption Army Golden Knights parachute team practices for military parade The Army's Golden Knights parachute team has been preparing for months to perform at the 250th anniversary military parade. The stage is set for a grand parade to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary, which falls on the same day as President Donald Trump's 79th birthday and Flag Day. The day-long festival will take place primarily at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, June 14, with music performances, fireworks and a pomp-filled procession through the streets. More than two dozen M1 Abrams tanks, scores of infantry vehicles and thousands of soldiers are expected to be involved in the event. Trump, himself, will be watching the parade from a reviewing stand just south of the White House that is now being constructed for the occasion. The parade is expected to cost around $40 million, USA TODAY previously reported, including the promise to help the D.C. government deal with the aftermath of driving tanks on D.C. roads, with the president referring to the number as "peanuts." The last major military parade was held in 1991 to celebrate the end of the first Gulf War, which makes the occasion a rare sight in Washington, D.C. The large military movement into the city comes only days after Trump sent 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles amid an immigration crackdown and protests.

Federal judge blocks Trump's firing of Consumer Product Safety Commission members
Attorneys for the plaintiffs argued the case was clearcut. Federal statute states that the president can fire commissioners 'for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office but for no other cause' — allegations that have not been made against the commissioners in question. Advertisement But attorneys for the Trump administration assert that the statute is unconstitutional because the president's authority extends to dismissing federal employees who 'exercise significant executive power,' according to court filings. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up U.S. District Judge Matthew Maddox agreed with the plaintiffs, declaring their dismissals unlawful. He had previously denied their request for a temporary restraining order, which would have reinstated them on an interim basis. That decision came just days after the U.S. Supreme Court's conservative majority declined to reinstate board members of two other independent agencies, endorsing a robust view of presidential power. The court said that the Constitution appears to give the president the authority to fire the board members 'without cause.' Its three liberal justices dissented. Advertisement In his written opinion filed Friday, Maddox presented a more limited view of the president's authority, finding 'no constitutional defect' in the statute that prohibits such terminations. He ordered that the plaintiffs be allowed to resume their duties as product safety commissioners. The ruling adds to a larger ongoing legal battle over a 90-year-old Supreme Court decision known as Humphrey's Executor. In that case from 1935, the court unanimously held that presidents cannot fire independent board members without cause. The decision ushered in an era of powerful independent federal agencies charged with regulating labor relations, employment discrimination, the airwaves and much else. But it has long rankled conservative legal theorists who argue the modern administrative state gets the Constitution all wrong because such agencies should answer to the president. During a hearing before Maddox last week, arguments focused largely on the nature of the Consumer Product Safety Commission and its powers, specifically whether it exercises 'substantial executive authority.' Maddox, a Biden nominee, noted the difficulty of cleanly characterizing such functions. He also noted that Trump was breaking from precedent by firing the three commissioners, rather than following the usual process of making his own nominations when the opportunity arose. Abigail Stout, an attorney representing the Trump administration, argued that any restrictions on the president's removal power would violate his constitutional authority. After Trump announced the Democrats' firings, four Democratic U.S. senators sent a letter to the president urging him to reverse course. 'This move compromises the ability of the federal government to apply data-driven product safety rules to protect Americans nationwide, away from political influence,' they wrote. The Consumer Product Safety Commission was created in 1972. Its five members must maintain a partisan split, with no more than three representing the president's party. They serve staggered terms. Advertisement That structure ensures that each president has 'the opportunity to influence, but not control,' the commission, attorneys for the plaintiffs wrote in court filings. They argued the recent terminations could jeopardize the commission's independence. Attorney Nick Sansone, who represents the three commissioners, praised the ruling Friday. 'Today's opinion reaffirms that the President is not above the law,' he said in a statement.

Trump's military parade is in Washington D.C. June 14. Here's how to watch from Indiana
The streets of central D.C. are to be filled with thousands of soldiers, massive tanks, artillery and more Saturday in what is to be a massive military display to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary. In response to the unprecedented military parade, estimated to cost around $40 million, "No Kings" protests are also planned to happen the same day. Here's what to know. The military parade is slated for Saturday, June 14, in the heart of Washington, D.C., spanning six blocks and bisecting the National Mall. Organizers say the procession begins at 6:30 p.m. ET. Though the parade is on the same day as the president's 79th birthday, event organizers and administration officials say it is solely to celebrate the U.S. Army. Trump posted a short video address about the parade to Truth Social on Friday, June 6, inviting Americans to what he called an "unforgettable" celebration, "one like you've never seen before." The administration has insisted that the Army's anniversary and Trump's birthday are a coincidence and that the parade is justified to honor soldiers' sacrifice. Plans for the June 14 parade began in earnest about a month ago. Yet as focus squares in on the U.S. Army's 250 years of existence, other branches are notably left out. The Navy, which also celebrates its 250th anniversary this year in October, has no plans for a similar parade, a spokesperson told USA TODAY. Neither does the Marine Corps, for its 250th in November. Events from the 250th birthday celebration, including the parade, will be livestreamed on all U.S. Army social media platforms. Read more: When is Trump's military parade? What to know about the June 14 parade The protest organizer's website describes "No Kings" as a "nationwide day of defiance" in response to Trump and the military parade, saying, "we're taking action to reject authoritarianism." This protest is different than the travel ban protests and I.C.E protests that have happened in the past few weeks. More on 'No Kings' protests: 'No Kings' protests will happen nationwide on June 14. Here's where they'll happen in Indiana.
